Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)

It seems that it is not supported yet by the driver. Is there maybe some code available to get the IR receiver with evdev running? What bridge chip does the TeVii S470 use: a CX23885, CX23887, or CX23888? Does the TeVii S470 have a separate microcontroller chip for IR somewhere on the board, or does it not have one? (If you can't tell, just provide a list of the chip markings on the board.) If the card is using the built in IR controller of the CX23888 than that should be pretty easy to get working, we'll just need you to do some experimentation with a patch. If the card is using the built in IR controller in the CX23885, then you'll have to wait until I port my CX23888 IR controller changes to work with the IR controller in the CX23885. That should be somewhat straightforward, but will take time. Then we'll still need you to experiment with a patch. If the card is using a separate IR microcontroller, I'm not sure where to begin :P Regards, Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-media in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html According to the Wiki it's a cx23885.

Re: [linux-dvb] Most stable DVB-S2 PCI Card?
I have four of them and they work perfectly, but not out of the box from the v4l-dvb tree. If it's patched with the patches posted on this list a few weeks ago by Andreas Regel (or used with his repo at http://powarman.dyndns.org/hg/v4l-dvb) it locks perfectly on every transonder on 1.0W, without them it does not. I also have an S2-3200 and a NOVA-HD-S2 but they can't handle all transponders symbol rates so I highly recommend the S2-1600. Bought them for â¬50 in Germany. /Magnus H Why aren't those patches in the official repo?

I've read through the wiki DVB-2 PCI section, but am not confident after reading this what the answer is. Running Fedora Core 10 at the moment, but am willing to upgrade to 11 or perform custom patches to get something going. No need for CI or DiSEQ support, just highly stable/reliable DVB-2 tuning/reception under Linux. Any recommendations would be most appreciated! If you don't need the CI part, The TT S2-1600 is a 2nd generation DVB-S2 PCI card with great performance (supports Symbol rates upto 60MSPS), with support out of the box from the v4l-dvb tree. Regards, Manu I think I will try that card. Is the card tested to be working by many?

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000(Lite) Nova-HD-S2 LNB Voltage
Hi, When measuring the voltage on the card it is between 12.8 and 13.0V, while the set-top box measures 13.6V. I got a pretty long cable to the LNB, approx 30 meters, could this be causing problems for me? Is there a way to increase the voltage by 0.5V?

Corruption and decoding problems on SD channels with Hauppauge WinTV-Nova-HD-S2, HD channels are fine.]
Hello, I'm having frequently Unknown audio decoding error, Header missing, ac-tex damaged on what seem to be all SD channels, which resutls in prebuffering pause in MythTV. All HD channels are fine and no problems. The channels which are worst are also very hard to lock. Sometimes some channels are not watchable at all. I am using Canal Digital in Norway, channel listing can be found here: http://www.telenorsbc.com/templates/Page.aspx?id=678 I have had this problem for about a month. I know that Canal Digital have done some changes to the transponders around the same time that this happened. But I don't know if this has anything to do with it. I have deleted all transponders and channels in MythTV and rescanned everything. It seem like a bad signal, but when testing with the set-top box from the provider it shows signal strength 80% and signal quality 90%. Also it is strange that all HD channels would work fine if there was a poor signal. * I got a Hauppauge Nova-HD-S2 card. Using Kernel 2.6.30.9 and MythTV trunk revision 22257 * My dish is pointed correctly using a satellite finder. it shows 9 out of 10 when the db button is set at the lowest. This is the best signal I have ever had. I've tried to slightly adjust the dish anyway without any change. * I have replaced the LNB, it is a Triax Quad LNB. * I got two cables from the dish, same problem with both cables. * In MYthTV signal is shown as 85-86%. BE is 0. This is the same as I have always had when it was working. I have also tested with a Technotrend Budget S-3200 card, which had the same problems, except that this card does not work on HD channels at all, which it never have.
