Forget all that has with stability to do on Linux, it will never work! It is my experience after three years of desperate trying. I have the same card and some others. Sometimes they works sometimes no. 24 hours running is called High Availability in IT world and can be assured only by the commercial solutions. Believe me, I spent 14 years in commercial Unix and know what I am talking about.

Hi,
I currently have a Azurewave AD-SP400 CI (Twinhan VP-1041) DVB-S2 card
but I'm not sure if it
that stable to have it running 24h every day on a server. I'm looking for a good DVB-S2 card that works out of the box in Linux kernel, does anyone have any good
recommendations, both with or without CI. It's important that it is stable so I don't have to restart the server.
I'm running Ubuntu Server 9.04 64-bit with kernel 2.6.28-11-server.

that cannot go unchallenged
my linux boxes never crash
not unless i do something really stupid

they have been up for 16 days
and that is so short because i had a power failure

and i've been using unix/linux for over 25 years
