According to http://www.mossat.ru/int4-st5.html, rev2.6B does not
support BER indication. I tried the card on slightly misaligned dish
during heavy rain (under windows, some transponders locked, some did
not), and indeed, BER as reported with your drivers was always 0.

I never got anything out of adapter0/dvr0. Not a single byte.
