 Thanks Nico, I've finally tried it with Bell ExpressVu and 
everything worked fine.

 I guess starchoice just isn't DVB but rather DCII. I'm 
surprised that I didn't at least get the lock, though.

 Once *very briefly* for about 6 hrs I was able to lock on 
Anik F1's frequency for CBC FTA channels, but there was 
complete silence there, I.e. no data was being received (I 
presume no data was being transmitted at that time). So I'm 
assuming that most of Anik F1's frequencies are not 
modulated with standar DVB QPSK but with their propriatary 
stuff, that's perhaps why the Nova-S card could not get a 
lock on all but two frequencies.

  Thanks for answering,

    John
