There was something strange with the tuners on that card. I got a
replacement today and that shows:

root at frodo:~/.tzap# tzap -a 1 "Discovery"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0'
tuning to 594000000 Hz
video pid 0x03ab, audio pid 0x03aa
status 07 | signal b547 | snr 0000 | ber 001fffff | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal b3e2 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 0000001d |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b530 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b53f | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b539 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b558 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b588 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b592 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b597 | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b4ad | snr 0000 | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 |
FE_HAS_LOCK

But I have still some problems but I don't think they are related to MythTV
