I just started with TVheadend and luckily found this thread, because I think I have the same problem. I have a TechniSat Skystar HD2 card. It is registered with lcpci as:
01:07.0 Multimedia controller: Twinhan Technology Co. Ltd Mantis DTV PCI Bridge Controller [Ver 1.0] (rev 01)
TVheadend recognizes it as
devdvb_adapter0_STB0899_Multistandard:
{
"type": "DVB-S",
"displayname": "Skystar HD2",
"autodiscovery": 1,
"idlescan": 1,
"qmon": 0,
"dump_muxes": 0,
"nitoid": 0,"diseqc_version": 0
}
When I do "Add DVB network by location" it will add about 37 muxes and start to scan those. However, "Muxes awaiting initial scan" never drops below 5 and every entry on the "Multiplexes" tab has a signal quality of 100%, but with frontend status no signal or unknown. My debug output looks like this:

Is there a solution for this or has it been logged as a bug? Or am I maybe missing something altogether different? I also tried with dvbstream with the example from Vitaly and that did work.
