I am also playing with that repo and am able to get a picture so something
is amiss here. I can't assume what it is but please try using szap
and mplayer to diagnose if there is a problem rather than using other tools.

I am not testing anything but DVB-S so can't advise futher, sorry.

I assume that for snooping you'd need to tie a pin onto a chip, I don't
have a facility to monitor activity, but this may be how Steve done it.

Based on the above, it should be evident that the DVB-S part is an
unknown quantity and not much detail of it's firmware is known other
than what Steve has acquired.

If you have a facility to capture i2c, then please advise.

Also, if you have a storage device please inspect diseqc stream, there are
unknowns there, and it would be nice to actually see what's happening.
