This is the output of your command.

But i think this is a driver problem, but i'm not hear the "Init click":))
my lsmod output:

you have some differents in your lsmod output?
and you hear the "click" when load the modules ?

Thank you:

what command did you run?

if you have Hotbird on the first (or only) lnb try this:

dvbstream -f 11766 -p V -s 27500 -o -ps 160 80 | mplayer -

if you have Astra

dvbstream -f 12480 -p V -s 27500 -o -ps 1791 1792 | mplayer -

do you seen anything?

this link will help you to test the frequencies :
