[linux-dvb] Geniatech SatBox

2007-11-05 Thread Greg Suarez
All,

Does anyone gotten the SatBox from Geniatech to work?
Can anyone recommend a supported USB-2 DVB-S device that can be
acquired in the US?

Thank you,

Greg Suarez

Patrick,

I'd like to contribute to the project, so maybe this will be a good
place for me to start.  Although the starbox 1 is limited by it's
capabilities, at least I can contribute to the completeness of device
support of the project.  If you have the time and patience maybe you
could help me get started with what is required to get the starbox
working?

Thanks,

Greg

[linux-dvb] Working DVB-S USB Device

2007-11-02 Thread Greg Suarez
Hi All,

I'm looking for a DVB-S device that works with the linux-dvb drivers.
Can you send me the name and model of the devices you have confirmed
to work?  I've looked at the linuxtv.org list but don't know how up to
date that list is.

Thanks for your help.

Greg Suarez

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for your the response.  I've read that the Starbox one
displays the model as 7021 while the Starbox II shows 7021A.  Not sure
how accurate that is.

Thanks again, I'll go get a Starbox II then.

2007-11-02 Thread Greg Suarez
Which kernel version are you using?  I'm running 2.6.20 on Ubuntu Feisty.

Mine isn't getting disconnected immediately but my scan always fails and I get
"usb in operation failed. (-110)", looks like the errno is ETIMEDOUT
from usb_start_wait_urb().

Has anyone gotten the TwinHann Starbox (7021) working?

Thanks,

[linux-dvb] dvb-usb-vp702x-02.fw

2007-11-01 Thread Greg Suarez
Hi,

I'm trying to get my TwinHann Starbox (7021) to work but the driver is
looking for the firmware dvb-usb-vp702x-02.fw but I can only find
dvb-usb-vp702x-01.fw.  Does anyone know where I can get a hold of the
-02 firmware?

Thanks,

Greg Suarez
