So, there the voltage change lines are in the kernel log. So, if I'm 
understanding the situation correctly, the voltage test app produces 
voltage change lines in the kernel log with debug=2, but mythtv tuning 
doesn't (even though mythtv seems to think it's sending voltage changes 
per its own log, i.e. "Changing LNB voltage to xxV")

If this is actually the case, well, that's somewhat baffling. I would 
suggest you add additional log lines to diseqc.cpp right around the 
FE_SET_VOLTAGE ioctl so that you know exactly when and how many times 
the ioctl is being called, and exactly what the return value is. If you 
see that the ioctls are definitively happening in the myth log and 
aren't failing, but don't see the voltage messages in the kernel log... 
well, that wouldn't make one bit of sense, but let's see...
