Comment(by stegmaie):

 I have attached my changes of Alan's patch (I dared to call it Rev2...).
 Tested against 19589.

 I compared Alan's patch to the original one and everything seems to be in
 there, but I added back some of the msystem/rolloff stuff (matter of
 taste, though...). Additionally, I did the following:[[BR]]
 - Included the "bad tuning" patch since it's only S2API related[[BR]]
 - Included the "channel_mux_patch2" since it should also be only DVB-S2
 related.[[BR]]
 - Cleanups: Removed some obviously unneeded card-type stuff (referring to
 a "new API" but I think not S2API is meant), unused variables, and other
 small stuff.[[BR]]
 - Added DVB-S2 FEC checks (for 3/5 and 9/10) to prevent some
 warnings[[BR]]
 - Added DVB-S2 device detection, this needs a recent dvb-driver with K.
 Schmidinger's patch/proposal for detecting a S2 capable device (available
 in s2-liplianin and even v4l-dvb hg as far as I know).[[BR]]
 - Fixed a bug (copy/paste probably) in dvbdescriptor.h regarding rolloff
 parsing.

 '''NOTE: I pulled out the database (dbcheck.cpp) stuff, since it's easier
 this way to handle keeping it in sync with trunk.'''[[BR]]
 => You have to manually make the changes if needed.

 Works fine for me with normal DVB-S channels. Unfortunately, I still have
 no luck to get mythtv to scan a DVB-S2 channel with my mantis card, so I
 still can't test that... next thing on the list.
