Hi All,
I've been struggling setting up my new HTPC.
I've got 2 cards, Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S-Plus in a machine with lots of
grunt and memory,
a brand new LNB (old one was broken), freshly aligned dish (properly
with a meter and all)
to the Optus D1 satellite.
I initially installed mythbuntu, and have upgraded it, it's now running
kernel 2.6.27-11-generic.
I've downloaded/installed the latest v4l-dvb drivers, all to no avail.
I can't get a frontend signal lock.
I've switched on some debugging and tried a few tweaks...
