Is there any change in the cultiproto disecq code?

For example
MythTV won't tune to channels on disecq port 2 or higher. (Disecq port 1 
always works)

However, Kaffeine works. I'm able to watch every BBC channel on Astra 
28,2 (which is on my second port)

This made me think it's MythTV.
But a friend of mine now said an older, regular DVB-S card DOES work 
with disecq.

I must point out that I'm not using the latest multiproto drivers, the 
one with the old_api support (so that I don't have to patch mythtv)
