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
