[linux-dvb] DVB-S card for 3.8 GHz frequency range?
Hi, I'm trying to record the Ethiopian Schoolnet DVB-S channels - unfortunately they seem to be broadcast at really weird frequencies (3.887 GHz, Symbol rate 2650) that none of the DVB-S cards I tried can handle (the cards I tried seem to be limited to the 10 GHz-12 GHz range). Is there any card (PCI preferred, but USB would be ok) that can receive DVB-S broadcasts at 3.887 GHz, or is there anything that could be used to shift the signal to a reasonable frequency? We have a fallback plan working at the moment (really awful hack - using the receiver box distributed by the satellite provider to receive the channel, then capturing the signal on its TV-Out port using an analog video card), but that's really not a good solution...

Well normally the LNB shifts the frequency to a reasonable range that can be carried on coax cables. It just seems that your LNB is no normal Ku band one. So you must have have one with another local-oszilator frequency (C-Band?). Wikipedia tells me: A typical C-band satellite uses 3.7–4.2 GHz for downlink. Local oscillator: 5.15 GHz It should be enough to configure the software using the correct LO frequency. Then you should be able to receive the channel.

[linux-dvb] Multiproto installation in English (or French ;-)))
Hi, I'm sorry to bother you again, but I only have my problems with my S2-3200 card... I found this link : http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/OpenSuSE_DVB-S2_-_DVB_Treiber but it is only in Dutch, so, everything is not clear for me ! Do you have other links for this installation ? Do you know which software (VDR for example) I can use to watch DVB TV ? Thank you very much.

For KU-band, usually a small dish (40-120cm) is used. That's consumer (DTH, Direct To Home) stuff. With the C-band, you have usually have to start thinking 180cm and up, and a different (probably more expensive) LNB. In Kaffeine, you can configure a C-band LNB. I've never tried it, I don't have enough space to set up a dish for the C-band.. P. ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb

I trying to get it working on Gentoo Linux but, unfortunately I don't know how to set the DVB_CARDS environment variable on my make.conf file. Here's what I'm talking about: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Gentoo_DVB_driver#Installing_firmw are_files Hello, thank you so much Matthias. So you see DVB_CARDS is only used for installing firmware files. That's OK, I understand. I don't know if it is really necessary to have the media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware package installed or not. If yes, I don't know what's the right flag to set up as regard DVB_CARDS. Did you manage to install driver first? Either taking kernel-ones, or install v4l-dvb-hg package. Yes, of course, I followed this guide: http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Gentoo_DVB_driver (By the way, I don't think it is up to date - no all kernel options are selectable) I expecially did as the Method A - Kernel-Drivers says. I didn't do the pcimodules command line because I compiled modules as built in in the kernel. Then I didn't go ahead since I don't know what to do with DVB_CARDS variable. Thanks a lot, Flavio Matthias -- Matthias Schwarzott (zzam) Dear Matthias, meanwhile I tried to emerge the media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware package too, without specifying any DVB_CARDS flag. No way to obtain something good. I don't know if this helps you, but the first boot message is: cx8802_register_driver() - probe failed err = -19 Maybe it doesn't have nothing in common with my issue, but I told you anyway. I guess is something about a kernel module error. Thank you for your support, Flavio Hello, do you think I will be able to use my DVB-S card? :( Flavio ___ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
