A combined DVB-T/DVB-T2 or DVB-C or DVB-S/DVB-S2 PCIe card from DVBSky.

The card is identical to Mystique SaTeCaBiX.

Overview/Features

  • PCI-e x1 low profile card (includes standard profile backplate)
  • Single Tuner for DVB-S/DVB-S2
  • Single Tuner for DVB-T/DVB-T2/DVB-C
  • IR Receiver
  • Remote Controller

Technical Details

  • Name: T9850/5950 Ver. 1.0a 121106
  • Bridge : Conexant PCIe A/V Decoder CX23885-15Z PFAC6621B 1249CN
  • DVB-T2/C demodulator : Si2168-A30
  • DVB-T2/C tuner : Si2158-A20
  • DVB-S2 demodulator : Montage M88DS3103
  • DVB-S2 tuner : Montage TS2022
  • PCI ID 4254:9580 (same for the Mystique card)




Driver and firmware

  • Following firmware files are needed: dvb-demod-m88ds3103.fw, dvb-demod-si2168-30-01.fw and dvb-tuner-si2158-20-01.fw. All can be found from OpenELEC firmware tree [1].
  • Place the firmware files under /lib/firmware

Making it Work

The driver is included in Linux kernels since 3.18. For older kernels you can use the media_build:

Compile

git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build

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.
