[linux-dvb] Help with Skystar HD2 (Twinhan VP-1041/Azurewave AD SP400 rebadge)

[Tim Hewett]

Manu,

Thanks, it now tunes to horizontal transponders though not vertical  
ones. I think others have been having similar symptoms with the mantis/ 
multiproto trees.

It won't tune to any DVB-S2 transponder, but that has not changed  
since previously.
