Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, I want to buy a DVB-S2 USB device. The following are available here (all Montage tuner/demod): Mystique SaTiX-S2 (DVBsky S860 clone) (M88TS2020/M88DS3000) Mystique SaTiX-S2 v2 (DVBsky S960 clone) (M88TS2022/M88DS3103) TechnoTrend Connect S2-4600 (M88TS2022/M88DS3103) TeVii S660 (M88TS2020/M88DS3000) Wiki links: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVBSKY_S860 http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVBSKY_S960 http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-4600 http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TeVii_S660 Only the S660 is supported, but it has serious DiSEqC issues according to wiki, plus it's the most expensive, so it's not very attractive. Is there any hope/chance one of the others could be made to work with v4l-dvb? I've noticed liplian supports everything, but I don't think that's the most future-proof option. Best regards, P. van Gaans
