Latest version of multiproto will help you. Thanks. Since I asked this in the first place, let me put it another way: Currently there is no other way to get DVB-S2 tuning, other than going with the multiproto tree, such as a patch-set for the main hg tree?

I also tried http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2 but could not get it to work. I have problems compiling the current dvb-apps tip but that's another story. There was a binary in the package but it didn't work (scanning failed). So, to conclude, as Holger Steinhaus noted: The 2 things that can "speak" to the multiproto drivers a compatible version of the DVB API "language" are - szap2 and - vdr-1.5.14 + h264 patch ? Are there any others? If I use szap2 first, then I can also use dvbstream or dvbsnoop as well. I have to keep szap2 running though, because the frontend shuts down after some time, despite the dvb-core module option dvb_shutdown_timeout=0 (I think I have seen this previously reported). One last question: Is there any documentation (such as wiki pages) anywhere for multiproto-specific features? For example, I read about the legacy=(0| 1) option for the cx24116 frontend in the list archives and in cx24116.c comments, but I was wondering if such information is kept anywhere else? Thanks again, Igor, Holger, all, for your help.
