[linux-dvb] Re: B2C2 DVB CONFIGURATION ON 2.6.10 KERNEL

[Simon Robert <simon.robert@oldhouse-cottage.co.uk>]

Use the drivers in the kernel and the script MAKEDEV-DVB.sh from linuxtv 
package. this make devices. either change the chown command in the 
script to "chown root.video" to yourname.root or create group video and 
add yourself to its members.

this should make devices under /dev/dvb/adapter0 etc

in /etc/modprobe.conf
# skystar2
options dvb-core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0
alias char-major-250 skystar2
install skystar2 { /sbin/modprobe stv0299; } ; /sbin/modprobe 
--first-time --ignore-install skystar2
remove skystar2 /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove skystar2 
&& { /sbin/modprobe -r stv0299; /bin/true; }
#

then in /etc/rc.local

modprobe skystar2

or issue command at terminal

lsmod should show
skystar2               25092  5
stv0299                12136  0
dvb-core               77288  7 skystar2,stv0299
