Some more info: apparently the problem only happens if a DVB-S2card
(a TT-budget S2 3200 in my case) is (attempted to be) tuned to aDVB-S2
channel after the driver has been freshly loaded. Once the card has been tuned to a DVB-S channel, subsequent tuning to DVB-S2 channels works fine.
I have Twinhan 1041 that use the same driver so I could check the problem...
When I run scan-s2 with an initial tuning file that contains only a DVB-S2 transponder (Astra 19.2E)
S 11362000 H 22000000 2/3
and change scan.c so that it first tunes to DVB-S2, as in
/* set up list of delivery systems*/ //fe_delivery_system_tdelset[]={SYS_DVBS,SYS_DVBS2}; fe_delivery_system_t delset[]={SYS_DVBS2,SYS_DVBS};
You can also start the entry in INI file with "S2" to scan only in DVB-S2 or "S1" to scan in DVB-S only mode.
I get this with a freshly loaded driver:

There seems to be a problem in the driver with AUTO modulation setting. Some drivers do not allow it at all. 2 options:
Explicitly specify the modulation, such as: S2 11362000 H 22000000 2/3 AUTO 8PSK
Or add the following case into switch in dtv_property_adv_params_sync function in dvb_frontend.c file of the drivers: case QAM_AUTO:
Just in case, the function will start with:
void dtv_property_adv_params_sync(struct dvb_frontend *fe) { struct dtv_frontend_properties *c = &fe->dtv_property_cache; struct dvb_frontend_private *fepriv = fe->frontend_priv; struct dvb_frontend_parameters *p = &fepriv->parameters;
p->frequency = c->frequency; p->inversion = c->inversion;
switch(c->modulation) { case PSK_8: case APSK_16: case APSK_32: case QPSK: * case QAM_AUTO: * p->u.qpsk.symbol_rate = c->symbol_rate; p->u.qpsk.fec_inner = c->fec_inner; break; default: break; }
This will solve the problem. I'll send an email to Igor about that.
If I run scan-s2 again, I get

So apparently not even scan-s2 is able to tune directly to a DVB-S2 transponder without first tuning to a DVB-S transponder.
Can anybody else confirm this, or am I doing something wrong?
