A DVB-S2 PCI card from TechnoTrend.

There are experimental multiproto drivers available for the device (see http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/ or http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus/). For S2API support try http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin.

Overview

This card is apparently also available/rebranded as the TechniSat SkyStar HD.

Components Used

It also supports an add-on CI slot.

Identification

Type

lspci -v

You should get lots of output, including a paragraph something like this:

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]

Drivers

v4l-dvb/S2API driver

Since kernel 2.6.28, DVB-S2 support has been implemented in the Linux kernel by means of a new API, version 5, also known as S2API.

hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
cd s2-liplianin
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

or alternatively

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

Scanning and tuning apps:

hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/scan-s2
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/szap-s2

Multiproto driver

A driver using the obsolete multiproto API may be installed as follows.

Installing on Debian (2.6.18-6-686) etch with Multiproto diver (!!!DVB-S2 Don`t Work. Only DVB-S!!!). Install new Debian (2.6.18-6-686)
