"A couple of months" triggers me: for as far as I am aware dvb decoder
cards need regular 'entitlement messages' to continue to work. And
when the card is not in an active system for a long time it misses those
messages and gets shut out. You need to ask the card issuer to re-activate
the card (usually they offer this option on a website) and have the dvb-s
card, cam and dish all powered up and tuned to a transponder controlled
by the card-issuer.  Usually they advise you to tune to a certain channel.
