Hello,

I have a Skystar HD. I use multiproto from here (checked it out yesterday):
http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto
It compiles fine, all needed modules are loaded automatically upon boot.
This is my dmesg:
saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f88f2000 (revision 1, irq 21) (0x13c2,0x1019).

DVB: registering frontend 0 (STB0899 Multistandard)...

I use scan from here: 
http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2
It does not compile, I use the binary I found in the archive.

I use szap2 from here:
http://www.free-x.de/vdr/patches/hdtv/szap2.tgz
It does compile.

My kernel is:
2.6.22-gentoo-r9

My problems are:
- When I scan the same transponder more than once, sometimes I get some services, sometimes I get no services.
- When I zap (with szap2) to a station more than once, sometimes I get a lock, sometimes I get no lock.
- I have also tried with vdr 1.4.7(old DVB API) and 1.5.14 (new dvb API). Both versions can tune to only one channel, the "Active" channel from previous vdr shutdown. When you change channel the signal is lost. I suppose it relates to the zap problem.

I would appreciate your help / suggestions.

Thank you very much.
Vagelis
