A DVB-S card produced by TechniSat based on the B2C2 FlexCop Chipset. Early versions contained the STV0299 Demodulator, newer ones the MT312.

Some early versions are known to have heat problems, but as far we know this issue has been solved in the meantime.

This card is known to work quite well under Linux.



For SuSE 9.1

any tips on which drivers / applications / commands to use? (suse 9.1)

then:

some of the following commands: ??? 

modprobe budget           // ???
modprobe stv0299          // for newer Revision (2.6)
modprobe mt312            // for older Revision (2.3)
modprobe skystar2         // ???
bei USB modprobe b2c2-flexcop-usb

then:

For Fedora Core 5

1. Install the needet DVB Applications: 

yum install dvb-apps

2. Load the needet modules: 

modprobe budget

then you should have a new device in /dev/dvb/
