For testing szap do this (as root):

cd <your DVB-driver dir>/apps/szap
make
cp channels.conf-dvbs-astra ~/root/.szap/channels.conf
./szap -a 1 -n 1

then you should see something like this:
<snip>
pii:/usr/local/DVB/apps/szap # ./szap -a 1 -n 1
zapping to 'Das Erste':
sat 1, frequency = 11837 MHz H, symbolrate 27500000, vpid = 0x0065, apid = 
0x0066
using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0'
status 01 | signal b182 | snr 920d | ber 0000ffb0 | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal bb7e | snr d82d | ber 0000ff00 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal bcbd | snr d8e7 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
<snap>

The "-a" parameter selects the adapter, so may be you have to adjust it for 
your setup.
If you don't get a lock, you might have a irq-sharing problem. In this case 
check BIOS and try other PCI slots.
