I reinstalled udev, installed hotplug and coldplug (emerge suggested 
that) but it didn't help.
The kernel modules that I have are DVB Core Support and Budget cards 
with onboard CI connector.

I have other modules as well, all that were needed to get my plain old 
WinTV PVR 350 to work. The two above are the newly installed modules for 
the satellite card.

I haven't touched the kernel or any modules since it worked so I guess 
that it shouldn't be a kernel issue.
