Manu,

Unfortunately the engineer in charge of 899 Software is off tomorrow, which
means I can't help driver debug before Wenesday.
My understanding & knowledge on 899 is that it's always easy to lock in
DVB-S mode. Your problems looks though amazing.

Do you know if you can by-pass your software layer and use Centronics <->
I2C I/F under win XP to try a debug cession using our regular software GUI?
Do you have such a tool? This shall help understanding 899 behaviour.

BR,
Olivier
