Hi everybody,
Florentijn and I have been working on the Skystar2 rev2.6B driver last
week, and now I can declare a partial success: Tuning works for almost
every channel on Astra 19.2E with zero bit errors.
According to http://www.mossat.ru/int4-st5.html, rev2.6B does not
support BER indication. I tried the card on slightly misaligned dish
during heavy rain (under windows, some transponders locked, some did
not), and indeed, BER as reported with your drivers was always 0.
Bad news: The stream gets lost somewhere inbetween, most of the time
there is no output on adapter0/dvr0 and if there is, it's only rubbish
(i.e. mplayer can't decode).
I never got anything out of adapter0/dvr0. Not a single byte.
Thanks for your report, Radovan. Theoretically rev2.6B should support
BER indication since the stv0299 does and the linux driver completely
bypasses the flexcop in this case. Nevertheless your observation
indicates, that there is more to do (*sigh*).
