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.

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


in german:

http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/B2C2 [1]

i used the following commands: (suse9.1)

install some dvb-packets from the suse9.1-dvd (i needed no additional packages from the internet)

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:

channel search: 

dvbscan /usr/share/doc/packages/dvb/scan/dvb-s/Hotbird-13.0E > LIST1 
cp LIST1 .szap/??

zap to channel: 

szap  -n 194 -r

view channel: 

kaffeine stdin:// < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0


worked here with the older revision of SkyStar2


For Fedora Core 5

1. Install the needet DVB Applications: 

yum install dvb-apps

2. Load the needet modules: 

modprobe budget
modprobe stv0299

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