Is this a newer HD5000 AirStar Technisat card? If so, I get those
messages too. Doesn't seem to be a problem for me. Elsewhere in dmesg
are the lines:

   b2c2-flexcop: found the lgdt3303 at i2c address: 0x59
   DVB: registering frontend 1 (LG Electronics LGDT3303 VSB/QAM
   Frontend)...
   b2c2-flexcop: initialization of 'Air2PC/AirStar 2 ATSC 3rd generation
  (HD5000)' at the 'PCI' bus controlled by a 'FlexCopIIb' complete

If you see that, the kernel has the proper driver and you should be good
to go.

I just do a complete scan after properly configuring mythsetup
with a data source.
