Yesterday i returned my DVB-s to my dealer, but i will get another one
soon. Then i will be happy to help you.
Please release it. There must be other people interested in radio
only. And i can borrow one in the meantime to test your application.

BTW: Does anybody know if it is possible to receive ADR with a DVB-s
card? Or is there any other card for receiving ADR?
