Let me start out with I am quite experienced with computers in general but a total noob when it comes to linux. Over the years I have tinkered with various incarnations including red hat, suse, early versions/flavours of ubuntu. Lets just leave it at noob. :)
Anyhow, I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit on my media machine. I have got everything working properly except for the DVB card. I have been struggling with this for the last week or so to no avail. The point I am at now shows no errors in dmesg. It appears to be loading the firmware properly. The card is a Mystique SaTeCaBiX S2/T2/T/C which is basically a renamed DVBSky T9580 (PCIe) (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVBSky_T9580_(PCIe)) every thing I found said basically the same thing as that page.
From what I understand I should have: adapter0/frontend0, adapter1/frontend0, adapter1/frontend1
What I actually have in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t: adapter0/frontend0, adapter1/frontend0
When I try to use Kaffeine it tells me: No available device found
When I try to scan -a 0 -f 0: WARNING: frontend type (QPSK) is not compatible with requested tuning type (OFDM) - Makes sense as this is the DVB-Sport.
When I try to scan -a 1 -f 0: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0': 16 Device or resource busy
Any help here much appreciated.

*EDIT
Typical, been struggling with this for a week. Finally admit defeat and post looking for help, then fix it in an hour or 2 after that!
Anyhow more searching revealed someone fixed a similar issue by removing the v4l utils and firware, I did the same and presto kaffeine scans and finds channels. :D
