Newer kernels require the creation of '''/etc/modprobe.d/cx23885.conf''' containing <code>options cx23885 enable_885_ir=1</code> for IR support. |
|||
After a reboot '''/sys/class/rcX''' should show up (X starting at 0 with no other IR devices around). |

The driver seems to have some configuration issues: |

Also reported problem with openelec. |

The card needs a power supply other than the one provided by the PCIe, so there is a plug on the card. It can not work if not connected. |

DVB-S/S2 PCIe Twin Tuner card from DVBSky. See also DVBSKY S952 v3.
Features
- Dual/Twin Tuner input
- PCIe x1
- Low power
- Optional Power by PCI Express 6-Position Power Connector
Components Used
- RF: Montage M88TS2022
- Demodulator: 2nd generation Montage M88DS3103
- PCIe Bridge: Conexant CX23885
Driver and firmware
- Driver exists in kernel 3.19.
- Firmware is required for the tuner/demod.
- V1: The demodulator needs firmware dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw [1].
Closed-source Driver
- See DVBSky wiki page for details on a proprietary driver.
- Firmware: dvb-fe-ds3103.fw (Download: http://www.dvbsky.net/Support.html)
IR support in newer kernels
Newer kernels require the creation of /etc/modprobe.d/cx23885.conf containing options cx23885 enable_885_ir=1 for IR support.
After a reboot /sys/class/rcX should show up (X starting at 0 with no other IR devices around).
