If the card works in mplayer then it should work in Me TV. You haven't explained what the issue is. If you're having trouble scanning then just copy the mplayer channels.conf into the ~/.me-tv directory.

I use Technotrend TT1401-S DVB-card
I can see programs with this card in mplayer:

mplayer -demuxer mpegts dvb://

When I started me-tv I saw:

I think that the issue is that Me TV only has limited support for DVB-S. It only knows how to tune to specific DVB setups. If you know what I'm supposed to do then get on to #me-tv on FreeNode and tell me. I still might be able to help if you know what parameters need to be set.

Thanks,

Michael

It works! Great!
How to make that:
1. I installed its source code through Ubuntu-repository (sudo apt-get build-dep me-tv;sudo apt-get -b source me-tv; sudo dpkg -i me-tv_0.5.27-1_i386.deb).
2. Then generated with dvbscan my channels.conf.
3. Deleted all non-tv channels.
4. Started me-tv - and it works!
5. Checked tv-time deinterlacer. Wow!

EPG works! Scaling works! Full screen works! RECORD BUTTON - works too!
I officially announce that Technotrend TT1401S works fine with me-tv!

Sorry mplayer, I found new friend.
