Hi

This my first DVB card i bought it two weeks ago and it works great in windows, I knew it was unsupported in Linux but it was cheap and plus CI :) i couldn't resist.

I saw Dominik Kuhlen's Pinnacle 452e and Andr? Weidemann's TT-connect S2-3600 patch and i thought why not try it and i did. All i did was change product id from 3007 to 300a, downloaded the the source, patched it and compiled.

I can scan the channels using patched scan program but vdr format output doesn't work, it just make
empty channels.conf file. The zap format works :)

I can lock to lnb1 (Thor 1W) lnb2 (Sirius 5E) lnb3 (Hotbird 13E) lnb4 (Astra 19E) using the patched szap but when i wanna lock to channels on different satellite i have to always first lock on lnb1 (Thor). One more thing it doesn't lock with multiproto changeset 7208 and above.

No CI support and remote control is like 80% percent working.

I have tried vdr with this card not good at all :( or maybe its just me. As i mentioned before the scan
program doesn't produce the vdr format. I had to use vdr settings from this site http://www.linowsat.com.

When i start vdr it doesn't lock to any channels or satellite just plain no signal, I have have to first szap -r "any channels on lnb1" kill it and start vdr i can only get pictures from only 2 FTA channels BBC World;Telenor:11325:hC78:S1.0W:24500:513:644=eng:577:0:1001:70:25:0 Gospel Channel Europe;Telenor:11325:hC78:S1.0W:24500:514:648=eng:0:0:129:70:25:0 i can't switch to different satellite just plain no signal maybe wrong diseqc settings?

This is what i have in diseqc.conf

Can anyone tell me if there is any possibility for a driver for the skystar2 rev 2.8a in the near future - I bought one of these cards only to find out there are no drivers for it (the joke is I bought the skystar card specifically bcs I'd read it worked well under linux, ha ha). From what I understand the manufacturers have not been forthcoming with the information required to develop the drivers since rev 2.6. I've emailed Technisat with a request but have thus far not recieved a response, and I'm just deciding on whether I need to buy a new card ... any info would be greatly appreciated!

1) New install ubuntu, extract tip.tgz.

There's no need for you to reinstall Linux for each test. This is not MS**t ;)

You don't even need to reboot.

Out of historical cruft TUNER_ABSENT is tuner type 4.

mode=0x02 is radio.

Try to add this to the struct:

.radio_type = UNSET,

3) No DVB, installed tvtime - no signal.

DVB won't work yet. What the demod inside this board? There's no setup for it.

Nope, could't get anything to work.
- blacklisted tuner_xc3028 - no diff still locked up at boot
- dbg - no module loaded

Still ticking along nicely here.

I have options:
options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1
options dvb-usb disable_rc_polling=1
(since I have no remote)

Is the ubuntu kernel completely generic?

I still see an mt2060 write failed error every now and then (four in the past 24 hours), but that doesn't appear to break anything. Do you have complete tuner loss as soon as you get a write error?

Ivor.
