Hi, I installed the splitter, and it worked for me too - great!

Previously, when I used skystar module, which came along with gentoo kernel, I tried that splitter, but it did not work. These new CVS drivers seem to work.

Hi, I have following system:

• two Technisat Airstar2 PCI card (budget cards)
• one Technisat Skystar2 (budget card)
• Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT
• Sempron 2800+
• ASUS motherboard
• gentoo (updated to half a week old snapshot)
• kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6
• udev 064
• vdr 1.3.27

-- softdevice cvs (31.7.)

I feed input of the second card from output of the first, to which input I feed the terrestial antenna signal. If I feed output of the second card to TV, I get proper picture as long as the computer is on.

My problem is that while I record one program, and change channel to another, which is not in the same channel transponder (?/multiplexer) as the one is recorded, I get the error: device 3 has no lock, can't attach receiver.

I've had a similar problem with two AirStar2 PCI cards, the output of the first card was connected to the input of the second card. However, the card's output seems to have a problem with the 5 Volts remote power supply (for active antennas) coming from the other card's input. I suspected a hardware defect, but the two cards were working when I feeded them separately. I've bought a splitter and connected the two cards in parallel - everything is working fine now!

Andreas.
