Dave,
I had the exact same problem. First the card would be recognised but
wouldn't appear in /dev/dvb (solved by following/adapting
instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1777028),

I just used hg to download the latest v4l-dvb and dvb-apps from
Mercurial and everything compiled and installed fine. The drivers all
modprobe fine. I modpobe in this order:

Is there anything I'm missing there?

Hi list,
I've been struggling with this for awhile now and I'm in need of some
insight. The problem seems to be that the front end is unable to tune to or
monitor a signal. Here is some background info:
Card:
Twinhan 1025 VisionPlus PCI DVB-S

I wonder if you might be experiencing the same problem that I have been
describing over the last week.
It seems to me that hg (and in fact all snapshots after January 2006)
