I assume this is a Hauppauge DVB-S2 card?

If it is and hacking/scanning is not allowing it to work I would
suggest the following as the last thing to try (this is a bit drastic
though and you do it at your own risk).
.....
Please understand this will clear ALL your channels, even terrestrial
ones if you have 2 sources.

Thanks for the instructions, it was this type of destruction I was hoping to 
avoid if at all possible, it sometimes takes a while to get everything back to 
the way I like it.

The card data from messages is:
Jun  8 20:44:44 localhost kernel: cx88[0]: hauppauge eeprom: model=69100
Jun  8 20:44:44 localhost kernel: input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR400 as

Is there any way I can try and capture some of the stream without mythtv in the 
way to see whether the card is capable of tuning and recording the data, prior 
to performing a toast? I remember from my last install, the DVB-S was more 
difficult to get working than the DVB-T, specifically the EIT refused to work 
originally.
Regards,
Gareth
