We have 6905 card but are unable to use multistream (MIS) transponders (such as on the 13E and 5W satellites).
When asking for the frontend capabilities of the card it does not indicate that it supports multistream (FE_CAN_MULTISTREAM) is not set. Hence we get no lock when actually tuning to a transponder and multistream id (using szap).
The specification page for the card states that it supports MIS so any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Some debugging using szap-s2.
Hotbird 13.0E
My szap channel list - 1 normal transponder and 1 multistream transponder
Normal test of a DVB-S2 transponder which does not have multistream (just to verify the satellite can pick something up). We have a LOCK!
MULTISTREAM - NO LOCK!
We have also tried the undocumented szap-s2 modulation value of 6 (16APSK) and also tried rolloff=auto

11432V on Hot Bird is not multistream. This transponder is now not active at all.
Only multistream on Hot Bird is now 11373H, but beside Multistream it is using also PLS - Physical Layer Scrambling. To get lock firstly You have to set correct PLS mode and code, then one of two MIS.

Linux kernel 3.11, tbs drivers 150525.
First - you need scan-s2, szap-s2 with MIS/PLS support.
Next - before compile linux-tbs-drivers need fix for dvb-core (compatibility with current V4L DVB API) -->. So easy install my improved linux-tbs-drivers
For example transponder list with 13E Mediaset multistream (PLS code = root 8; ISI 1,2):
S2 11373000 H 27500000 AUTO AUTO 8PSK 1 8
S2 11373000 H 27500000 AUTO AUTO 8PSK 2 8
And run scan-s2 with TBS 6983,6905/6908:
[email protected]:~/.szap$ scan-s2 -a 1 -s 2 S13E.ini
API major 5, minor 10
ERROR: Cannot open rotor configuration file 'rotor.conf'.
scanning S13E.ini
using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0'
initial transponder DVB-S2 11373000 H 27500000 AUTO AUTO 8PSK 1 0 8

Current popular linux DVB software have support for MIS/PLS - VDR 2.x, TVHeadend4.x, Enigma2PC, DVBLast, VLC, Astra.
For example my setup with TVH4.0.5 and TBS 6983 for 13E 11373H:
