Hello,

is anybody working on the support of the Media-Pointer MP-S2² DVB-S2 Twin Tuner "Low Profile" PCIe card?

http://www.media-pointer.de/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=19&category_id=10&vmcchk=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

I put all information I found into the linuxtv.org wiki page:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Media-Pointer_MP-S2%C2%B2

Furthermore there is an ongoing discussion about the support of this card in the VDR portal:

http://www.vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=87049&threadview=0&hilight=&hilightuser=0&page=1

As far as I know there is currently nothing about this card in the mailing list. I found the branch http://linuxtv.org/hg/~rjkm/v4l-dvb-ngene/ covering the nGene PCIe bridge (last commit was 2 years ago).

Therefore I tried to include the available linux driver source code into the current v4l-dvb project (a corresponding patch is attached). I uncommented everything what is unknown to me, not used during the build process or parts of cards that I am not able to test by myself. The resulting ngene.ko uses only existing modules for chip sets STV0900, STV6110 and LNBH24 from the project. But it is only capable to use one of the two frontends of the twin card. And in my setup it only finds channels from Low-Band.

Can somebody have a look at this, to also enable the other features of the card?
=> As far as I know this is the only available dual tuner DVB-S2 PCIe card in the market at this time.
Is it possible to include changes, that are based on the Micronas driver? Or is it necessary to rewrite the driver from scratch?

Kind regards,
twoofseven
