I *think* so, I gunzipped and used the one for the Astra sateilite:

	/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/channels.conf-dvbs-astra.gz

But I also tried to scan for channels with:

	scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E

It fails as well; this is the output:

	scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E
	using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
	initial transponder 12551500 V 22000000 5
	>>> tune to: 12551:v:0:22000
	WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
	>>> tune to: 12551:v:0:22000 (tuning failed)
	WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
	ERROR: initial tuning failed
	dumping lists (0 services)
	Done.

So I stooped to boot Windows and there it works, beside that it crashed after 
some minutes :). I also noticed the color of the control LED on my DVB-S box 
is changing whenever it was accessed under Windows. It hasn't changed at all 
under Linux. I'm using the Hauppauge Nova-S USB (1.0) DVB-S box and kernel 
2.6.10. According to 'lsmod' the appropriate driver is loaded as well:

	dvb_core               84264  1 dvb_ttusb_budget

So I'm quite clueless now. Any help very much appreciated!
