[linux-dvb] dvbtune and skystar2 problems

[Nils Erik Svangård <nilserik@gmail.com>]

Hello!
Im trying hard to get my new Skystar2 card working in linux.
I have done a modprobe for skystar2 and stv0299 and they where found just fine.
But when I try to find channels there is something wrong I have no
idea what the problem is.
The first LNB gives this
 root@p-nisse:~# dvbtune -m

Scanning for channels mentioned in dvbtunes manual using the command:
dvbtune -f 12188000 -p h -s 27500 -v 163 -a 104 -t 32  
I get:
root@p-nisse:~# dvbtune -f 12188000 -p h -s 27500 -v 163 -a 104 -t 32

and it just keeps on doing that.

I have no idea what the problem is, any pointers is greatly appriciated.
