I have a new 6891 card which I am attempting to use in the UK on "Freesat" on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. I haven't been able to get szap-s2 or scan to work.
I get the following output when I run szap-s2:
- Code: Select All Code
$ szap-s2 -a 0 -c ./astra_szap-s2.conf -p -r -S 0 BBC
reading channels from file './astra_szap-s2.conf'
zapping to 7 'BBC':
delivery DVB-S, modulation QPSK
sat 0, frequency 10773 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000, coderate auto, rolloff 0.35
vpid 0x1388, apid 0x1389, sid 0x189d
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
(it just hangs here)
BBC is configured like this in astra_szap-s2.conf:
BBC:10773:h:0:22000:5000:5001:6301
I got these numbers from here: http://www.lyngsat.com/astra2d.html. I have tried other channels too. If I remove the "-p -r" from szap-s2 I get:

I tried using -S1 (the 2nd adapter), but it didn't work either. Both inputs on the card are connected via twin cable to a quad LNB which was on my house when I bought it (although I haven't used it before).
As far as I can tell I have compiled and installed the driver successfully. E.g. this is in my dmesg:
