Driver and firmware
- See DVBSky wiki page. Execute build_{x86|x64}_dvbc.sh for DVB-C driver! Firmware: dvb-fe-ds3103.fw needed for this driver.
- Open source driver is being developed.
Making it Work (Open source)
The driver is in the media_tree now. Will be included in kernel 3.18.
Compile git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git cd media_build ./build --main-git Installation sudo make install
Download the firmwares mentioned in the previous chapter and place them in /lib/firmware, reboot (or reload appropriate modules) and it should work.

Revision history
Cable Working for Ubuntu 12.04
Jan 2014
Upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 to kernel 3.11.1 and used the media_build_bst_130806 from dvbsky support compiled it as in the manual . Cable driver loaded and tested, works fine with tvheadend and XBMC. i use oscam and smargo for encrypted channels. more info pe63@quicknet.nl
will test it with Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10
Update 25jan2014
Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.8.4 working
Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.11.1 working
Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.12.1 working
Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.13.0 not tested
Ubuntu 13.04 kernel 3.11.1 working
Ubuntu 13.04 kernel 3.12.1 working
Ubuntu 13.04 kernel 3.13.0 fails to compile
Febr 2014
With newest drivers and Ubuntu 13.10 kernel - 3.13.2 it compiles good and after
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
sudo make install
It loads alright, i assume all lower versions will work too
