Hello,

Here I am again. My card can be seen at http://tinypic.com/r/2hewzyu/7

Chip:

C2L STB0899 VQ628NDY 220QQ VQ MLT 22 645

So far, scan-s2 won't compile: "scan.c:51:2: error: #error scan-s2 
requires Linux DVB driver API version 5.0!" (I am doing something wrong 
undoubtedly) and I cannot find a way to make w_scan scan specific 
frequencies. It must be possible, but right now I can't figure it out. 
Scan doesn't support DVB-S2.

Perhaps someone else who has an S2-3200 can test this, if not, I will 
eventually get to it I guess, but I'm not entirely sure when.

Best regards,

Pim
