Twinhan Technology Co. Ltd ('TwinHan) is a Taiwanese manufacturer that has produced a plethora of PCI and USB based DVB devices.
TwinHan's foray into Linux originated with closed source bttv drivers (based on the BSD License) for Redhat 9.0. Unfortunately, there was a heavy cross exchange of fire between the bttv authors and the company, and TwinHan subsequently removed Linux as a supported OS from the list of supported platforms.
Since June 2007 Twinhan is delivering linux drivers again for a list of their devices. The supplied drivers are binaries compiled for the i586 platform and activate the CI part on the card which have them. In the archives most of the sources are supplied, probably due to GPL, except the part for the CI-module, probably closed source. So recompiling will not work.
Twinhan devices are sold as OEM and re-branded by several different companies, for example: AzureWave, Hama ,VVMER, Tomato and others.
Devices
DVB-S
All the Twinhan DVB-S cards use a LG tuner. If you have a good signal, this tuner is perfectly alright, but in cases of low signals the tuner freaks out..
The tuner has a high phase noise ... ?
| Device | Trade Name (on box) | Description | Firmware / dst_get_device_id |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twinhan VP-1020 PCTV Sat | DVB-S Budget PCI card | ||
| Twinhan VP-1020A PCTV Sat | DVB-S Budget PCI card | ||
| Twinhan VP-1022 | DTV Mini-Sat | DVB-S Budget PCI card | DST-03T |
| Twinhan VP-1025 PCTV Sat | DTV Sat-Express | DVB-S Budget PCI card | DST-03T |
| Twinhan VP-1030 | DVB-S Budget PCI card | ? | |
| Twinhan VP-1030A PCTV Sat CI | DVB-S Budget PCI card | DSTMCI | |
| Twinhan VP-1030C PCTV Sat CI | DVB-S Budget PCI card |
Firmware id is returned by the card's firmware. You can find this id in the traces. (/var/log/messages) For instance:
Apr 12 08:31:58 localhost kernel: dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DST-CI]
| Brand | Device | Description | Firmware |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Rise | DTV PCI Sat CI [1] | Clone of VP-1032 | |
| Hercules | Smart TV Satellite | Clone of VP-1030 | DST-CI |
| Pinnacle | PCTV Sat CI | same as Smart TV Satellite? | |
| TechniSat | SkyStar1 CI < v3.0 | Clone of VP-1032 (VP-1030C) | DST-CI |
| TechniSat | SkyStar1 CI v3.0 | Clone of VP-1030A | DSTMCI |
Twinhan card are also sold as OEM by Hama ,VVMER, Tomato...
