 For your information I currently run successfully svn 19395 that I have
 patched with the following patches:
 (a) t5882_S2Api_5.diff
 (b) channel_mux_patch2.diff
 (c) inappropriate_mux.diff
 (d) bad_tuning_fix.diff
 (e) changeset_r19094.diff
 (f) 01-199-channelgroup.4.1.patch

 Patch (e) is very important..... It turns out that it takes sometimes up
 to 30s for some dvb-s2 HD channels to display... This patches prevents the
 automatic timeout after 10s... It all works OK but for some dvb-s2
 channels you need to be ready to wait up to 30s before the channel is
 displayed on the screen in live tv-mode..In the best cases, the dvb-s2
 channel appears after 3s in live tv-mode. Patch (f) is not s2api related
 but I think you should know that it works ok with s2api. It allows to
 create "bouquet" or "channel groups" like on any basic satellite receiver,
 so it is quite useful ( I used it to create a channel group called HDTV ).

 Last but not least, I noticed you use a kernel 2.6.28, are you sure your
 sat pci cards are recognised by your system ? This to my knowledge the
 first kernel version that includes s2api..or at least is supposed to..but
 for all the cards ???  .Maybe you better downgrade to 2.6.27 and patch the
 kernel with s2liplianin or v4ldvb drivers...This is what I have done and
 my twinhan dvb-s2 card is recognised ok.
