I have made a strange discovery about this. scan-s2 does not work but 
when I used scan it worked
and after that I started a new scan-s2 which suddenly worked. A while 
later I tried again but it did not work so
I had to use scan first and then scan-s2.

I think this is really strange when I have succeded with scan-s2 on my 
other card.

Another that appeared with this is that Mythtv 0.22 cannot present any 
info on the frontend when installing new cards.
I know that it migt belong in this mailinglist but it feels like it's 
connected somehow.
