Making it Work

As of October 2013 it is not working with Kubuntu 13.10 and the media_build_bst_130806 Drivers from DVBSky according DVB-C.

The driver is loading and detecting the card, but more then a successful channel scan isn't possible.

No TV program can be watched. DVB-S/DVB-S2 and DVB-T/DVB-T2 wasn't tested by me.


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

Ubuntu 13.10 kernel 3.11.0 compiles but would not load
Ubuntu 13.10 kernel 3.11.1 compiles but would not load
Ubuntu 13.10 kernel 3.12.1 compiles but would not load
Ubuntu 13.10 kernel 3.13.0 not tested

UPDATE Febr 2014
with newest drivers http://www.dvbsky.net/download/linux/media_build-bst-140128.tar.gz

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 asume all lower versions wil work too

Please feel free to correct this.

Update:

Works

Today I test this card with both DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T in Timisoara - Romania (DVB-T signal from Hungary - Szentes). I try to receive DVB-T2 signal from Serbia (Avala or Crveni Cot) but I don't receive any signal, maybe card doesn't work with DVB-T2 or my antenna doesn't receive any signal. I use VDR 2.1.2 with streamdev as back-end and VLC to watch channels and work very well, both adapter. I try w_scan and work.

I use latest driver from dvbsky website.
