Hi there
I'm afraid I dont have a solution but I have the same problem!
Running under ubuntu I've added an 8920 to replace a nova dvb-s card since BBC HD have moved to DVB-S2. Unfortunately its not proving to be a very good choice at the moment!
The card now seems to be being picked up but I cant get it to scan.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
uname -ar
Code:
Linux Tardis 2.6.32-32-generic #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 20 21:54:21 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
Running dmesg | grep cx88
gives me

Which looks ok although I'm not sure its loading the firmware.
Trying to scan doesnt work though, using
scan -x0 -a1 Astra*28*E
gives lots of these messages
Code:

and kern.log shows

Once thing I've also noted is that the instructions say to run
apt-get install linux-kernel-devel
which you cant do under newer ubuntu builds. I've tried alternatives but wonder if this is why its not working as expected!
Sadly if emails to tbs dont work and I cant find a solution soon, this 8920 will be winging its way back to Amazon and hauppauge will be getting more business
