Andre,

Thx for replay.
One thing: Are You sure that You are referring to Mystique SaTiX-S2 Sky 
Xpress DUAL card ?
It is not the same like Mystique SaTiX-S2 Dual, as former one is based 
on newest Montage M88DS3103 while second one is on STV0900 + STB6110.

Regarding Unicable: Your remark this is very interesting. Looking on 
ticket 9726 it seems like only mythtv patching should be enough (author 
of Unicable patch not mentioning at all about any kernel patches).
On the other hand going across  mythtvtalk link (unfortunately in 
german) gives me totally unclear picture: is any kernel/drivers patching 
required for Unicable or not.
Of course one from many solutions is to check it in practice - but this 
can be quite expensive learning route (costs of Unicable LNB+tuner, and 
what worse, costs of decreased WAF by potentially unstable system).
