What program are you using to try and tune? Is it trying to tune in 
using DVB-S2? The "other" driver was done quite some while ago, and 
included some clunky code to fallback to S2 if DVB-S tuning failed as it 
was developed before the DVB API had support for supplying DVB-S2 as a 
delivery system and this was the only way of supporting S2 back then.
This was removed in the in-tree driver as it isn't needed anymore, but 
this does mean that the tuning program needs to supply the correct 
delivery system.

Have you tried it with dvbv5-scan & dvbv5-zap?
