Fine, the tuner seems to work.
It's just the band selection which needs to be fixed.

Sorry, somewhere I read that a LNBP20 is being used.
I should have looked at the pictures!
(Btw, all revisions < 2.3 use LNBP13 or LNBP16.)

Well, we simply have use the I2C bus. ;-)
Should not be very difficult.

First you should verify that pin 12(SDA) and 13(SCL) are connected to
the I2C bus of the SAA7146.
Where is pin 7(ADDR) connected to? GND/Vcc/???
Then try to find out how the other pins are wired.

Meanwhile I'll read the datasheet of the LNBP21.

Sure. It must be done using I2C commands sent to the LNBP21.

Yes, imho.
