Can you confirm that you have a valid DiSEqC configuration for the
card? If you leave mythtv-setup after having configured the DVB-S card
and then restart it, are the DiSEqC settings as you configured them?
What DiSEqC settings are you using?

You can increase the logging verbosity for mythtv-setup to include
extra details for the channel scanner. Start mythtv-setup with the '-v
channel, channelscan, record' logging option, and redirect output to a
file.

In addition to trying to import an existing channels.conf file, can
you try a full tuned scan starting on one of the BBC1 muxes?

Cheers,
Nick
