Aye, the "works in win32" for me suggests it's a driver issue, something
it's not doing which the win32 drivers do.

It's a shared installation for the building, so I'll have to get back to
you about the details. However, it does have UHF terrestrial combined into
the same feed into the appartment, so there will be a device handling
that, but it's _extremely_ likely to be a single LNB since there's pretty
much only one useful sat to look at here in NZ: Optus B1, and it's all
vertical.
