 other small stuff.[[BR]]

 Schmidinger's patch/proposal for detecting a S2 capable device (available
 in s2-liplianin and even v4l-dvb hg as far as I know).[[BR]]

 have no luck to get mythtv to scan a DVB-S2 channel with my mantis card,
 so I still can't test that... next thing on the list.

 Does this mean that you can watch S2 channels with this patch but not scan
 the channels from mythtv, only import scan from szap-s2?
