A DVB-T card produced by TechniSat based on the B2C2 FlexCop Chipset and the MT352 Demodulator.

This card is known to work quite well under Linux.


The origianl B2C2 reference design of the card was known as the "Air2PC DVB PCI". As part of TechniSat's DVB PC TV Stars products lineup, the card was given the name "AirStar 2 TV PCI" . Strangely, TechniSat has since dropped the "TV" part from the name on its English website for both their AirStar and CableStar PCI cards, but retains it in their SkyStar PCI card's name. Whereas, on the German webpages, the "TV" moniker remains in names of all of these same devices.

Comes with a remote and serial dongle that work very well with lirc.

Linux kernel 2.6.10

You need to apply this patch to kernel 2.6.10 to get it to tune VHF channels in Australia (maybe other countries)
