Hi all,
I have been searching for a USB2 DVB-S receiver that is capable of receiving
a full transport stream, with working Linux drivers.
The last time I looked, the only USB capable receivers out there were v1.1,
and incapable of receiving a full TS as a result.
Are there any devices out there that are known to work?
actually there is at least this pinnaclesys pctv400e:
http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/uk/Products/Consumer+Products/PCTV+Tuners/PCTV+Digital+PVR+%28DVB-S_DVB-T%29/PCTV+400e.htm
i see now that is called a legacy product because it's superseeded by
another device DVB-S2 compliant (and on linux DVB-S2 is still a WIP)
i own the pctv400e
it is composed by a bunch of well known chips, so Patrick Boettcher made the
first tentative of a driver:

and i tried to run it just one time with an oops..
i never had the time to work on it, because i've quite a busy schedule, these
days, anyway i'd like to make a second trial on a fresh 2.6.18 kernel and
without the nvidia binary module that is tainting my PC!
i hope to post you about this, in the next days..
I'm using the device since 4 weeks (or longer) it works perfectly. The
Oops you describe is related to sensitivity of the tuner/demod regarding
its input parameter. When you pass wrong data it gets a division by zero
or something. I was not able to find the line...
Patrick.
