[linux-dvb] B2C2/Technisat Cable/Air/SkyStar USB

[Patrick Boettcher <patrick.boettcher@desy.de>]

Hi,

in the next days I will receive a SkyStar USB box kindly provided by Luca
Bertagnolio. Intention is to get a USB driver, which allows use the device
in Linux. Does someone started with it already? If yes, may I join, what's
the status?

If not, well, let's see.

Luca was so kind to provide high-res pictures of the device:

I'm now wondering that I don't see an explicit demod chip. I only see
the huge b2c2 flexcop III chip. Is the demod included in this FCIII?

When I do a "strings windowsdriver.sys" I see a lot of known names for
possible demods (stv0299,stv0297,mt352 and a lot more). So I assume that
a real demod is in use, somehow? Any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Patrick.
