Hello, I just started with satellite TV and purchased a TechniSat SkyStar HD2 (not a brilliant start, I agree). I installed the mantis driver from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb as explained on the wiki. It somehow seems to work, dmesg shows:
[ 3116.783103] Mantis 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 3116.784165] DVB: registering new adapter (Mantis DVB adapter) [ 3117.652286] stb0899_attach: Attaching STB0899 [ 3117.652298] stb6100_attach: Attaching STB6100 [ 3117.652515] LNBx2x attached on addr=8 [ 3117.652522] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (STB0899 Multistandard)... However, when I run femon in order to get the signal level (so I can tune the antenna), I get: Problem retrieving frontend information: Operation not supported status S | signal 7f98 | snr 0000 | ber d3b53000 | unc 00000000 | If I use the -H flag it shows signal level 49% which is not right because the card is not even connected to the antenna. Also dvbscan gives an error that it cannot tune to the required frequency (or something like that). As I said, the card is not yet connected to the antenna but I tried connecting it to a standalone LNB (which I imagine is the same as connecting to a not tuned antenna). Any hints?
