Hi all,
I have an (old) SAA7146-based DVB device- a Technotrend/Hauppauge WinTV
DVB-S rev1.3 SE, if the autodetection is to be trusted. It is recognized
without error (apparently), the firmware file resides in the appropriate
folder and is loaded correctly, and nothing in the logs points to an
error. However, while the device tunes and acquires a lock, no video
data can be captured. 

Here's what I think are the relevant messages from the kernel:

[   19.620310] DVB: registering new adapter (Technotrend/Hauppauge WinTV

A tuning attempt using dvbtune yields:

>dvbtune -f 12551000 -p v -s 22000
Using DVB card "VLSI VES1x93 DVB-S"

This is the output I get from 'scan' (dvbscan)

Done.

Using a different card, I can tune, scan using the same command and
receive a TS, so reception problems can be ruled out. 

Any suggestions how to proceed to resolve the issue or what further data
to provide to that end would be highly appreciated.

Best regards
Dietmar
