Region 0: Memory at fe8f0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Region 1: Memory at fe8e0000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: ngene
Kernel modules: ngene


* SatBox USB2.0 satellite TV box
==Making it Work==
* Built-in IR Receiver
"To install the driver you need a Linux kernel 2.6.19 or higher.
* Built-in Analogue CVBS A/V Capture Feature
Other kernel versions might also work but are currently
* USB 2.0 Cable
not tested." (see ngene/README)
* Wall plug power supply (7.5V, 1.5A).
* Remote control handset
* Analogue CVBS video cable and Audio cable
* Software on CD ROM (incl. Manual in PDF Format)
* Quick Installation Guide


The current implementation is only capable of using one tuner and doesn't support the [[S2API]].


===Components Used===
Make sure that the external power supply is connected!!!

===Make it work===
Delete or uncomment line 57 and 59 in file ngene.c to ensure that variable <code>adapter_nr</code> will be set.
tm6000 module autodetection not working on satbox because most tm6000 devices have same 6000:0001 numbers and satbox one of them it's has 6000:0001
tm6000 module must be loaded with "card=0" option it will detect satbox as Unknown tm6000 video grabber and will be work as video grabber without dvb-s


===Device Issues===
//#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE > KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,28)
* A 75ohm terminator to be connected to the LNB-Out connector for better stability
DVB_DEFINE_MOD_OPT_ADAPTER_NR(adapter_nr);
//#endif
