[vdr] Re: Any experience with VDR and TwinHan DTV Sat-express DVB-S card?

Hi,

I can't get it running. I load the modules:

modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1
modprobe dvb_bt8xx

dmesg gives me:

the devices are there.

Now running szap:

reading channels from file '/home/vdr/etc1/channels.conf'

I have a Diseq 2.0 switch, on card box it says Diseq 1.2 compatible. Maybe is 
this the problem ? VDR gives me no picture.
