I also installed the 8920 a couple of weeks ago. I installed
the driver from the dvd that comes with the card.
The driver file from the web is named the same as the one on
the distribution DVD: v4l-dvb-0776e4801991.tar.gz
The driver works fine and the card scans properly with Kaffeine. I
scanned Galaxy3C and Galaxy25 and I can tune all non-encrypted channels
on those satellites.
However 'scan' from both the latest version of dvb-apps and and
from version 1.1.1 won't find any channel. I get "tuning failed".
I use a single Universal LNB.
I was surprised that you at least got a channel list from "A". So,
there might be a bug in the TBS driver. But how is it that Kaffeine
succeeds?
My satelitte configuration is as follows: I've got a monoblock LNB, with
