I tried that tool as the first thing to test, but it gives me nothing:

hex:/usr/src/dvb/DVB/apps/scan# ./scan | sort > channels.conf
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

>>> tune to:
113000000:INVERSION_OFF:6900000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64

...
initial tuning failed!

Gives no output at all.

Hmm, is there any reason why all these modules have to be loaded:

hex:/usr/src/dvb/DVB/apps/scan# lsmod

...

They were added by "make insmod", and I'm pretty sure that they are not
all needed there. Maybe they conflict and do something nasty?

What is the normal way to make the modules autoload? I'd rather have it
all taken care of by /etc/modules.conf instead of manually adding them
after every reboot.
