Support for SkyStar USB 2 ?

Support for SkyStar USB 2 ?

[ronny.bantin]

Hi,

the current flexcop-usb driver supports only USB 1.1 devices. Is there any plan to support USB 
2.0 devices ? The device id is "13d0:2282". For testing I have simply changed the "flexcop_usb_table" 
structur to this ids. But of course is does not work.

The hardware components are the same of the SkyStar2 PCI (CX24113 tuner...).

Best Regards Ronny.

Are you sure about that?

Can you please send hires-pictures of the innards of the USB box?

Patrick.

Hi Patrick,

Im pretty sure thats the same components.
The following microchips are on the board:

1x Technisat Flexcop IIB MMRY3-000 0628
1x PLX NET2282-AB35PC (PCI-USB Bridge)
1x ISL6421
and some other very small chips.
In the tuner bracket:
1x 24113A-12Z
1x CX24123-11Z

I will send the pictures tomorrow from my work office, because I have only Light-DSL at home.

Best Regards Ronny.

Hi all
yes I can confirm that skystar usb2.0 has same components as skystar2 
PCI. The only difference is the net2282 PCI-to-USB controller.
Is it possible to find the find the vendor specific protocol from 
usbsnoop log


Thank you

Support for Skystar S2 and Twinhan AD-SP200/VP-1027

[Bob Ingraham]

Hi All,

Running Fedora Core 10 (2.6.27) and have looked through the wiki for support for:

- Skystar S2 (DVB-S2) PCI
- Twinhan AD-SP200/VP-1027 (DVB-S) PCI

I'm guessing the wiki is out of date with regards to current status.

Are there patches or a snapshot I can pull that has stable support for either of these cards?

Thanks,
Bob Ingraham

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,

there might be something not yet discovered.

Twinhan cards do work with other chipsets flawlessly.

There is no need at all to mark them all bad.
