Hi,

yes, confirmed.  I have a digibox next to my MythTV setup, and that works 
fine with the _same_ dish and LNB offering me some 800 or so channels 
(incl encrypted), I keep changing the cable back to that box to watch TV 
while the mythtv thing isn't working yet...

(And yes, I make sure it's plugged into the mythtv box when scanning ;-), 
and as posted mythbackend sees high signal levels.)

You asked about the dmesg output.  See below.

Thanks!

All the best,

Thomas

(Let me know if I should rather post the full dmesg output. Thanks!)
