Skystar USB HD Support

[bennykill]

Hi! Don't know if this is the right place. It would be cool if OpenELEC could support the Skystar USB HD from Technisat !(http://www.technisat.com/de_DE/SkyStar-USB-HD/352-1294131238891-1246563456759/) It is the cheapest USB DVB-S tuner i found! I use it under ubuntu! ;)

Here is my dmesg output created with OpenELEC 2.0 Beta 7:

lsusb output:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 14f7:0500 TechniSat Digital GmbH DVB-PC TV Star HD

The device should work, do you use a PVR build? Which build do you use?

Cheers Jan

I used the PVR version of OpenELEC 2.0 Beta 7!

[Janpopan]

Yes - I am sure but which one?

Fusion/ION/Intel/..... 32/64 Bit with or without PVR?

Cheers Jan

Intel 32bit pvr

Thanks, the module is build - but it will not load automaticly:

http://openelec.tv/forum/83-dvb-ss2-support/30943-technisat-skystar-usb2-dvb-s2-suspend

I think you can configure to unload/load the drive before/after suspend, there is a setting in the addon.

I will take a look in the linux-media mailing list, maybe there is a fix for autoload.

Im not talking about the skystar usb 2 with ci...im talking about the first skystar usb without ci support! They need different drivers!

Yes, you need the "dvb-usb-technisat-usb2" modul for the USB ID 14f7:0500 (without CI) And for some reasons you have to load it by hand or modify /etc/modules http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Technisat_SkyStar_USB_HD

[bennykill]

Ok i could load the Skystar USB module with modprobe, but howto modify /etc/modules? it's read-only! :(

Today there was a simple patch for autoload the module at the linux-media mailing list, I am away from my buildsystem, so I can't build and test it. Maybe anybody else can make a testbuild:

This patch adds a module-device-table-entry to the
technisat-usb2-driver which will help udev to on-demand load the
driver. This was obviously forgotten during initial commit.

Can you test this build: http://jan-hill.com/OpenELEC-Intel.i386-devel-20121003202615-r12041.tar.bz2 and give me a feedback?
