I went though all this like a 7-14 days ago. Everything is on the list, all repositories, all results. I had SkyStar HD2, but the driver is the same. AFAIK these are two very different cards and SkyStar S2 is probably working. I think it is used more frequently than my HD2, which, alas, was a total CRAP. I had 3 SkyStar HD2 cards in total and had to return them all. Why? Low quality HW (interference, no shielding...), Linux driver support exists (some, mainly the author, claim full support), but: DVB-S2 not working at all (unless you want to reboot every few minutes), zero HW sensitivity (90-95% signal strength -> broken picture), MythTV cannot cope with it and breaks down all the time, little things like PWR/SNR/BER reporting not working, etc. Look up my mails and reports. There are even links to all the repositories. The newest one: hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis-v4l As for my story: I exchanged the cards for TeVii S640 DVB-S2. After inserting the new cards and booting, my whole setup started to work - out of the box, with the setup I had for SkyStar, which was unusable previously. It was the HW/mantis driver after all. Just issuing my WARNING against TWINHAN chipsets generally. :) -- David -- 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
