[linux-dvb] Technotrend S2-3200 (Or Technisat Skystar HD) on LinuxMCE 0710 (Kubuntu Feisty)

[Jelle De Loecker]

Good morning all,

I'm having difficulty getting my DVB-S2 card to work on LinuxMCE 0710 
(Kubuntu Feisty, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic) I'll start with some lspci 
info to prove the card is connected:

lspci -v:
04:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH S2-3200
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
        Memory at febffc00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]

I can compile the drivers just fine, I followed the instructions from 
this French page:
http://wilco.bercot.org/debian/s2-3200.html  
<http://wilco.bercot.org/debian/s2-3200.html>(I don't completely 
understand French, but we all speak code!)

But after loading the drivers I don't get a /dev/dvb folder.
My dmesg output only shows this message:
saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.

My problem reminds me of this one, from this mailing list: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-May/018287.html

However, on that post (which is over a year old) they're talking about 
other drivers from the same author (stb0899-v4l-dvb) which seem to be 
part of the multiproto drivers now.
(Adding to all the confusion is another driver called "multiproto-plus".)

Basically, I'm following year old tutorials and I don't know which 
driver is correct.

I do know that both drivers requires some kind of patch, but for the 
multiproto drivers this seems to be for a newer kernel ("Patch pour 
noyau 2.6.24") and the patch for the stb0899-v4l-dvb is a dead-link now.

Keep in mind that I have not connected my LNB yet  - I still need to put 
up my satellite tonight, but I should still be able to see the /dev/dvb 
links, no?

Thank you for your time!

Have you reboot your computer ? May be it can solve your problems...
If not, I'll do another version with the multiproto plus driver soon.

Good luck.

David.

Remains the question, what is the difference between multiproto and multiproto 
plus?

Its something i also would like to understand. Another question, how if 
progress on CI with the TT-3200?

Cheers,

Rudy

Here TT-3200 working with my CAm with no problem (almost every channel 
is scrambled on my sat). I can even have 2channels simustaneously 
recorded (Astoncrypt cam is able to decode 2 streams simultaneously).
Software: multiproto (1- months old I think)+mythtv-0.21 (I had to 
modify it: I need to ADD 4 MHz to the frequency, else I have unreliable 
or no lock).

This is my first mailing-list experience, but I'm liking it more then a

What I was trying to say: I tried everything I could think of to get 
them to work! (rebooting, modprobe -r && modprobe, adding the modules to 
/etc/modprobe/d/blacklist to make them not load at boot and load them 
afterwards)

I look forward to it! :-)

If I can't get it to work on my LinuxMCE machine (which is a strange 
beast, after all!) I'll just install Mythbuntu 8.04 on another partition 
and try that out.

Am I wrong to assume you live in France? Otherwise you're not 
recognising your neighbouring country's language! :-D
It's Dutch, by the way ;)

So to make it clear: you compiled and installed the drivers from the 
multiproto tree of Manu Abraham (not me, another Manu ;-)
Then how do you test it? I use mythtv but for that you need to patch it 
(I use mythtv-0.21 branch).

Hi Manu,

I never got to test it! I would never get a /dev/dvb map with the needed 
devices in it.
Apparently it's a problem with that kernel, because I tried the latest 
Mythbuntu 8.04 and the drivers do work there!

I wish it could be fixed, though, as I strongly prefer LinuxMCE to 
Mythbuntu.

Now that I'm temporarily running Mythbuntu I'm trying to get *any* 
signal from my LNB (through a disecq switch)
Fingers crossed!

If you have some problem getting locks, try to add 4 MHz to the 
frequencies (I hacked the mythtv sources directly). For my setup this 
gives me perfect tuning anyatime for all transponders (DVB-S only 
though, no DVB-S2 around here).

Manu

CI with regards to the STB0899 + 7146 based cards works properly AFAICS.

In fact, received quite some mails long back itself that CA on these
cards worked properly.

On some machines with buggy BIOS'es, APIC issues I2C and CA issues were
kind of prominent, but generally, saw quite some successfully decrypted
DVB-S2 HD streams with some few persons around.
