Hello I use VDR a few years, but lately I changed my system into ITX (AMD Brazos) and so changed PCI DVB-S2 card into USB. Additionaly I has bought DVB-T tuner. While buying hardware I was sure I buy hardware which is supported in-kernel, so no need to hunt for driver. Unfortunatelly every from three card I have doesn't work properly.
The first: Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD. Kernel has drivers, but only for the first revision. Second revision which I have need a patch. Patch is even on linux-media http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/10294/ , but isn't finished so no hope to have it in kernel soon. Anyway I have applied it's modified version from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653026 to kernel 3.2 and it's almost work. Almost, because sometimes recording becames unplayable. Recording recors eveything, but I can play only some part of file from beginning. The rest is unplayable.
Looking for something widely used I choosed Pinnacle PCTV SAT HDTV 452E PRO USB. Problems with it i've described in thread: "[PATCH, RFC] STB0899 signal strength (pctv452e, others too?)"
The last miss was buying USB DVB-T stick based on Af9015. Generally it works, but only a few minutes. I suspect it overheats...
So I ask: if somebody has one of cards above working, please give me a note with which kernel and with which driver it does work.
Also I wold welcome advice, which from those rather cheap USB cards works without any problems on stock linux kernel.
Marx
Ps. Now I'm so desperated that I've installed 2.6 kernel and I will try Liplianin driver with it. Hovewer having 2.6 and 3.2 kernels installed together I don't know how to tell dkms to build only for 2.6 (in 3.x Liplianin kernel will not compile)
You can get a sony playtv, they are dual tuner and it's mostly plug and play, except for intermittent noise from time to time (suspecting retuning second tuner for eit scanning causing noise on first tuner).

Hmm, I've not seen this issue. Do you have it connected direct to machine USB port? I have mine on an external powered USB hub.

Thank you, but this tuner is DVB-T only and rather pricey Marx

Yes it's DVB-T only, but seems to be going very cheap everywhere at the moment.

Hi Marx,
I can't give you any advice on USB hardware for satellite reception, but i do have a working setup for DVB-T. I use the following USB DVB-T receiver: PCTV NanoStick 73e SE (solo) http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_nano_Stick_%2873e%29
This receiver works perfectly with the present kernel. (tested with 3.2.8-1-ARCH). Please bear in mind that the supplied antennae for this receiver is not so sensitive. Also, this receiver cannot supply power to a active antennae. Therefore I use a home made power inserter and a 3 way splitter.
See also my notes on the subject on the arch linux wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digitenne
I hope this helps you.
Best regards, Cedric

I use a pair of Technisat SkyStar USB HD (DVB-S/S2) tuners [1] for Satellite and a pair of Sony PlayTV devices for DVB-T.
This has been a stable setup for me. Currently running unmodified 3.2.0 kernel.

In particular, I rate the Sony PlayTV tuners highly. The external USB box has good shielding, and provides a single antenna cable --> built-in dual tuner solution. Its also cheap and easy to find in regular shops :)

Hmm it's probably good choice, I had mantis based card (PCI) and it was working very good.
I today found patch from Igor Liplianin about Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD Rev.2 http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/11110/ and will try to patch 3.2 source to try it. Has it chance to work or should I download all linux-media? I was trying to use linux-media-dkms from yavdr but it din't work (it was giving errors that modules are bad symbols or sth) Marx

Hi,
The package linux-media-dkms (0~20120507.git265.301694~precise) [1] crafted by the yaVDR team for Ubuntu Precise (kernel 3.2) contains the patches to make the Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD Rev.2 work. I myself am currently testing such a USB box with this driver package. Except for a few glitches it works quite well for me (USB box are connected to an active multiswitch).
More information on different patch versions can be found here [2].
Cheers, Henning

I've tried this dkms a few days ago and it didn't work. Modules made by dkms lacked some symbols (I don't know how it's possible if they compiled without problem). Maybe scripts doesn't play well with Debian kernel (3.2) or maybe I had bad version of kernel headers?
I will try it again, but it lasts very long time to install and uninstall this package (don't even think to remove some kernel if you have this dkms installed - better remove dkms and then remove kernel version)
A few minutes ago I've tried Igor Liplianin's tree from http://pikacode.com/liplianin/s2-liplianin-v35/ but it also didn't work - card isn't recognized (no dev/dvb). I've tried modprobe dvb-usb-dw2102 but it only outputs: [ 2926.380171] usbcore: registered new interface driver dw2102 and still no device available Marx

Well the DKMS package is for Ubuntu Precise. It contains pre-compiled amd64 modules for the currently valid kernel version of Ubuntu Precise.
If you install it on a different environment (Debian or Ubuntu 32bit), all the modules will be re-built automatically and this take 10-30 minutes depending on your CPU power. Give it a try with an Ubuntu Precise installation to save time.
Also use the patched dkms package from the yavdr repos. The upstream Ubuntu package dkms contains a bug that causes very slow de-installation of the linux-media-dkms package.
Cheers, Henning

I was using dkms from yavdr, but something went wrong. Now tried again and everything seems ok - modules compiled and installed, card is recognized. I will be testing it in VDR Marx

I was searching a few days and while there are many people with similair problems - nobody can solve it.
I'm starting to suspect that something is wrong with USB ports on my PC. I've checked and I connect devices to USB 2.0 ports (while I have 1.1 ports onboard too) My motherboard: ASRock E350M1 Does anybody heard about problems with USB on this motherboard?
Now I probably will search for PCIEx card because none of three USB cards I own is reliable. Marx

Sorry I was away. I have three USB devices (2 different DVB-S2 tuners and one DVB-T), but problems exists even if I use only one of them. Actually the only device I use is Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD Rev.2

Device seems to work, hovewer not reliable. Sometimes I have to restart vdr to make device working. Recorded stream isn't fully playable, seems like it plays to first error in stream and then later stream is unplayable.
I have standalone tuner connected to the same antenna via twin converter and it works ok.

Hello
Hi!
I use VDR a few years, but lately I changed my system into ITX (AMD Brazos) and so changed PCI DVB-S2 card into USB. Additionaly I has bought DVB-T tuner. While buying hardware I was sure I buy hardware which is supported in-kernel, so no need to hunt for driver. Unfortunatelly every from three card I have doesn't work properly.
The first: Terratec Cinergy S2 USB HD. Kernel has drivers, but only for the first revision. Second revision which I have need a patch. Patch is even on linux-media http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/10294/ , but isn't finished so no hope to have it in kernel soon. Anyway I have applied it's modified version from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653026 to kernel 3.2 and it's almost work. Almost, because sometimes recording becames unplayable. Recording recors eveything, but I can play only some part of file from beginning. The rest is unplayable.
Looking for something widely used I choosed Pinnacle PCTV SAT HDTV 452E PRO USB. Problems with it i've described in thread: "[PATCH, RFC] STB0899 signal strength (pctv452e, others too?)"
I have been using this card on FreeBSD as well as its `cousin' TT S2-3600 which uses the same driver with various versions of webcamd which used various versions of the Linux v4l/dvb tree (media_tree), first with bits from s2-liplianin merged in and since (I think) 3.2 using the pctv452e.c driver that was committed to the vanilla media_tree, and rarely ever had issues. Currently I'm using webcamd 3.5.0.2 which uses a snapshot of the for_3.5 branch of media_tree...
http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/webcamd
http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/shortlog/aa6d5f29534a6d1459f9768c591a7...
The last miss was buying USB DVB-T stick based on Af9015. Generally it works, but only a few minutes. I suspect it overheats...
So I ask: if somebody has one of cards above working, please give me a note with which kernel and with which driver it does work.
Also I wold welcome advice, which from those rather cheap USB cards works without any problems on stock linux kernel.
I have been testing various other usb tuners (mainly dvb-t) on FreeBSD with webcamd (which as mentioned above uses linux' media_tree), see my (nox) entries on this page on the FreeBSD wiki:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat
Besides the pctv452e/TT S2-3600 dvb-s2 tuners which _I_ had not many issues with I successfully tested the following dvb-t tuners using dib0700 hardware:
PCTV NanoStick 73e SE (solo) [single tuner] Hauppauge Nova-TD model 1172 [dual tuner]
The Sony PlayTV which was mentioned later in this thread seems to use dib0700 hardware too, but at least here it seems to be much more expensive than the Nova-TD.
(And the two af9015 tuners I tested didn't overheat but used to hang themselves up needing a temporary unplug when left running on vdr for a day or less, this _seems_ to be better with recent media_tree versions but I still had to restart at least vdr when it happened. You can reduce the probability for this to happen with vdr tho: change the osd setting "Setup -> DVB -> Update channels" to "names and PIDs" or lower.)

Hi, I just bought 19 euro Fujitech DVT Pro DVB-T usb stick which seems to use Realtek RTL2832U chipset. USB stick also includes small remote control, but I have not tested yet whether that can be used from linux.
lsusb shows the device as: 1d19:1101 Dexatek Technology Ltd. DK DVB-T Dongle
Driver is not in the mainline kernel, but driver version which builded ok with 3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2 (mageia) kernel was available in git://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0.git. According to it's readme the same chipset is also in use with following other usb sticks:
DIKOM USB-DVBT HD (ID 1b80:d394) NILOX DVB-T Stick N15 (ID 1b80:d393) TRUST 16738 (ID 0bda:2832) TERRATEC Cinergy T Stick BLACK (ID 0ccd:00a9) TX Hollywood DVTB (ID 1d19:1101) DIGIVOX mini II v3.0 (ID 1d19:1101)
Installation for me was easy operation with steps written down below: 1) git clone git://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0.git 2) cd DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0 3) changed KDIR from makefile: -KDIR = /usr/src/kernels/`uname -r` +KDIR =/usr/src/linux-`uname -r` 4) Make 5) Make install 6) Plug the usb stick: --> dvb_usb_rtl2832u module gets loaded 7) scan channels: scan -5 -o vdr /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fi-Kerimaki > channels.conf
Scan util had from dvb-apps-1.1.1-8.hg1465.1.mga2 had some problems and to be able to find out all channels, I needed to split the /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fi-Kerimaki scan frequence file to multiple smaller ones each containing single line.
I do not have any idea whether somebody is working at the moment for trying to get this driver pushed to mainline kernel. At least for me it has now worked ok for 1 week.
