There are no sensors on the dvb i2c bus, but only the demodulator, pll 
or some other helper chipsets like msp3400 on the DVB-C cards.

The i2c bus was not visible before, because it was hidden by the 
proprietary dvb i2c implementation. We have recently switched to kernel 
i2c, so the i2c bus is now visible in the system wide i2c directory.
