OK, I think I have found the problem, well at least located it:-

In dvb_frontend.c there is a function "dvb_bend_frequency" which
apparently stops two cards from interfering with each other when they
are tuned to the same frequency. I commented out the function and now
both cards work fine.

Anyone got any thoughts?
I remember Andrew de Quincy (sorry if I messed up the spelling of your surname!) talking about this before on the list, but in relation to the older Nova-T Grundig frontend...
At the time he'd tried 3 or 4 cards all tuned to the same freq in the same machine and noticed no ill side-effects regarding stability of signal quality, so commented the code out in a patch he sent... Perhaps the bending is only relevant to DVB-S or DVB-C...

I remember that we decided to enable bending only for frontends
on the same adapter (some STBs with two frontends need bending).

But apparently no one cared to write code for that :-(.
I wrote the codelet a long time ago but forgot to check it into the CVS repository. Now it's threre, please update your source tree and check if it works for you...
