Done some googling and you seem to be the lead researcher on this topic; C-Sky being the only Linux kernel supported DVB-S2 receiver project that I have seen !
So I am not a dev, just a guy who can monkey type in Linux, with a hobbyist interest in video streaming over networks.
But:
Should it be possible to attach a cheap $20 GX6605S DVB-S2 receiver to a Linux PC, via USB port or Wifi (via USB dongle), and stream multiple tv channels from same dvbs2 mux to say, TVheadend ?
I actually ran mx-linux but it doesn't seem to recognize the GX6605H based satellite receiver I have. Recently I bought a GX6605S satellite receiver kit...hope this works, if I can get some instructions.
Goal here is to be able to stream 3-4 tv channels from the same receiver at same time so these tv channels can be viewed by local network users with say, Kodi client or VLC.
As you know, there are plenty DVB-S2 receivers with USB PVR .ts recording capability for a second channel. But live streaming all (or most) tv channels from the same DVB-S2 tuner (aka mux) is the real thing !
There are many online proejcts using LibreElec/Kodi with TVheadend that use DVB-C /T dongles. But DVB-C dongles are hard to configure (especially the popular one mentioned here, owing to no more LibreElec DVB -C support in available versions.)
Even though there are github results showing Astrometa linux kernel 5.1 "full support" this doesn't seem to be working:

(This blog says that this dongle can only stream 1 tv channel, not the whole mux. This is srange since Astrometa OEM spec says this DVB-C dongle has 7-8MHz analog bandwidth, so should support concurrent streaming of all tv channels from same mux !)
In any case, DVB-S2 receivers with GX6605S2 are cheaply available, so why not use them for network streaming, given full Linux support for the GX6605S ?
