[mythtv] issues with dvb-s in svn 7130

i have a combined fe/be running r7130
it has a pvr350 and a nexus-s (version 2.1 i believe)
PAL format
running gentoo with a 2.6.12 kernel using latest ivtv driver and dvb-s driver 
included in the kernel (which i built myself). using udev if that has any 
bearing

i cannot watch any dvb-s channels (Astra 28.2E)
the screen goes black overlaid with the OSD which shows:
Signal 29% (I ) No lock

the value does change for a while and then the OSD fades out
the frontend doesn't seem to accept any input and i have to kill it to exit 
from this mode

i realise that other people may be having similar problems
but maybe the enclosed log will shed some light

i noticed in a full log that there was mention of:

2005-08-25 15:46:37.213 atsc channel: -1_-1

i assume this is just an artifact of the logging and not that myth is looging 
for atsc input

in case it is relevant, i did a full scan (which eventually timed out after 
about 45 minutes)
