hmmm. same setup here. 2x dvb-s 1.3 (primary with 4mb osd mod) and 1 
skystar2. i installed it yesterday and upgraded to kernel 2.6.10rc1.

works very nice. no real problem except :

Nov 13 12:24:25 vdr kernel: i2c_adapter i2c-3: master_xfer: with 2 msgs.
Nov 13 12:24:25 vdr kernel: i2c_adapter i2c-3: master_xfer: with 2 msgs.
Nov 13 12:24:25 vdr kernel: i2c_adapter i2c-1: master_xfer: with 2 msgs.
Nov 13 12:24:25 vdr kernel: i2c_adapter i2c-2: master_xfer: with 2 msgs.

you see: 4 syslog events per second. i don't know what it means - if 
it's ok, just a warning or some kind of error. all i know is that it 
goes away as soon as i unload the drivers, and that i fills up my syslog 
 REALLY fast ;).

here is my lsmod if it help you:

maybe it does help you, and maybe someone can give me a hint with my 
"master-transfer" problem.
