=== SIEMSSEN & CO. - Opera S1 ===

A similar device to the DVBWorld. Seems to be sold in Germany by one of the well-known discounters. Its German distributor is [http://www.siemssen.de/ Siemssen] under the name Opera DVB-S1.
The card contains a Cypress CY7C68013A-56PCX to manage the USB part, which seems to control a Xilinx Spartan(R) XC3850 FPGA. The tuner box reads Sharp, but I cannot find out more about it.

I'm able to upload the firmware to turn the device from cold mode to warm USB ID but programming the FPGA still fails.
For my card/driver:
The cold USB ID is: VID 0x04b4 (CYPRESS) PID: 0x2830
The warm USB ID is: VID 0x695C (???????) PID: 0x3829


DVB-S cards in similar cases can be found on different Asian sites:

[http://www.szforwardvideo.com/en/manager/product_read.asp?ID=96]

Despite the fact that all those devices look quite similar and have similar hardware, Siemssen still claims that they are built completely differently and their drivers are not interchangeable.

A driver fully supporting this device is available in 2.6.22 and later kernels.

=== TwinhanDTV StarBox II - DVB-S (7021A)===

The following modules are necessary in order to get this device running:
- dvb-usb.ko
- dvb-usb-vp702x.ko

The driver is still a little work-in-progress. If you want to help the development, please consult the [[linux-dvb-ml|linux-dvb Mailing list]]. The front-end part of the DST driver could be rewritten to be used by the USB driver. Currently it is hard-wired to the PCI cards.
