Hello all,

I'd like to ask for your help. After weeks of research and
deliberation I bought two SkyStar HD2 PCI cards (quite a lot money for
me). It seemed to be working for everybody. BUT I have already spent
two days reading mailing lists, downloading repositories, compiling
drivers, apps, kernels and bending code to make it compile. Please,
does anybody know how to help me?

In short the driver doesn't seem to communicate with the card at all.
It's unable to send DiSEqC commands (not necessary in my case), unable
to tune the tuner, unable to report any signal strength info etc. I
have a dark sense of foreboding about this, because as things stand
now, it seems I'll have to recoup my losses (can't return these cards)
and buy different ones, possibly more expensive. Just these two cost
me half my month's salary. I was so damn sure they'll work - from all
the reports and success stories on the web, even LinuxTV said so. If
you knew my wife... I mean this is going to be a disaster. :(

signal, it works). The STB parallel-story is there for you to see
there are no switching issues, no signal weakness, etc.
