Thanks, this got me started. The card and the driver is working fine.

The generic budget DVB cards do not have an onboard hardware decoder and what we have is a DVR device from which the Transport stream is being read out.

If you can successfully tune and get a valid TS from the DVR device, you can rule out issues with the card and the driver. You can verify the functionality of the hardware and driver with the command line applications from the dvb-apps repository.

Mantis driver on TechniSat "CableStar HD 2"
I have problems getting a TechniSat "CableStar HD 2" DVB-C card running with the latest Mantis driver on a Fedora 12 system (using their current standard 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE kernel in combination with the drivers from the http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb repository). Tests have been done on two different mainboards. I can run a channel scan (using kaffeine) perfectly fine, also tuning to channels appears to work. I see a load of some 1,300 interrupts per sec when I have kaffeine running and tuned, and it seems there is data transferred between the card and the application. The problem is: there is no video nor sound. I have bought this card second-hand on, so I am not really sure if it is a software issue, or if eventually the hardware is broken. Can anybody recommend a way how to verify the driver or the hardware? Or can you recommend a specific kernel version the Mantis driver has been tested against? Any help welcome. Thanks in advance.
