I have borrowed a SkyStar2 from a friend and it is still on my todo to check 
if it will run (@Nico thank you for recording the EbS software pantents 
stuff). First Szczepan was not shure if the board layout is labeld with 2.6B 
or 2.68  I would say this is a B, also some sat shops speaks from 2.6B

Bord label:
Model: SkyStar2
P/N 92105-20002
REV: 2.6B

B2C2 chip labeled with:
B2C2
B2C2INC.Com
FlexCop II
T2285-02
2CEV37129.1
0044 CO USA

How is it possible to find out which tuner is used? Without opening the tuner 
box?
Ther are black dots letter on it:
TBMU24112IMB1	030418	BAAATB

Szczepan, maybe you can write the details of your card as detailed as I did.

Of course I will test it and send you how it works
Greetings

PS: Do you see a chance that Technisat sells the card with an linux driver in 
future? 
Or with an live linux CD like Knoppix?
And what do you think to stream Knoppix or Deabian once a week (for example on 
weekends mornigs)? Than would it be enough to by this card and to install the 
GNU/Linux system by an DVB-S datacast. Every update would be made via 
Satellite, too. Wouldn`t this the real meaning of Free Software?
*g*
You will answer, how to financiate this - well why should not a satellite 
datacasta support this or on of the Satellitprovider (Astra, Eutelsat in 
Europe) themself?
And would it possibe to missuse a TV-chanel for datacast?
Great would it be when a test picture would be still broadcasted but behind 
95% of the bandwide used for datacast during the night :)
