I have a Terratec S7 USB device(actually an Elgato EyeTV Sat). This works fine on a Mac Mini running EyeTV. It doesn't seem to scan DVB-S2 channels at all under Linux-DVB. I've noticed numerous messages in the mailing list archive documenting problems with this device in regards to S2. The only maintenance that seems to occur on the driver for this device is to periodically update the list of identification strings for this device.
So, because I want to use Linux-DVB for receiving DVB-S2 channels I have the following questions: 1) Is the Terratec S7 (in its many guises) actually supported at all by either Terratec or someone else for use with DVB-S2 under linux-dvb? And are there any cases where the device actually works under linux-dvb as well as it does on a Mac or Windows system? 2) If not, are there in fact any devices for DVB-S2 with drivers that are fully supported in linux-dvb and that in fact work on DVB-S2 channels with the utilities found in linux-dvb? (If there are I'd get rid of my Terratec S7 and get something else). 3) Or, is it not the case that there is any (active) support at all in the linux-dvb community for DVB-S2 (perhaps because interest is focused on different modulation methods and transmission types)? Thanks for any information you can impart regarding this. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
