Problems using DISEQC with TBS 8920 DVB-S2 card

I recently got an TBS 8920 DVB-S2 card and I'm now trying to get it work using Ubuntu 8.04.
Since the card wasn't automatcially detected and the list appearing when loading the cx88xx driver doesn't contain the card I downloaded the drivers from here: http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/product/PCIDVBS2.html

The driver file from the web is named the same as the one on the distribution DVD: v4l-dvb-0776e4801991.tar.gz

However 'scan' from both the latest version of dvb-apps and and from version 1.1.1 won't find any channel. I get "tuning failed". I use a single Universal LNB.
I was surprised that you at least got a channel list from "A". So, there might be a bug in the TBS driver. But how is it that Kaffeine succeeds?
My satelitte configuration is as follows: I've got a monoblock LNB, with

Hotbird13 on "A" and Astra19 on "B"
doing a "scan/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-s/Hotbird" reports me a lot of channels. But the diseq signal is being ignored, when doing "scan -s 1 Hotbird" I get the same channels and doing "scan -s 1 Astra" gives me no channels (scan is aborted after a view seconds, saying it cannot do initial tuning)
