skystar hd2 driver issue












1















I recently installed a skystar hd2 card in my box. I have drivers loaded, everything seems good to go but i cant tune.



When I attempt to run w_scan (from apt-get, w_scan version 20130331, compiled for DVB API 5.10) I receive srate errors.
Specifically:

Couldnt find a way to configure the srate for my card.



When I run kaffeine to tune and scan for channels (I have it configured it to scan with the same satellite settings):

I have no idea why the frontend would fail.



SPECS




  • I have a skystar HD2 installed in a pc running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
    with kernel 3.19.0-25-generic.


  • I live in the US so I'm using the Galaxy 25 Satellite


  • I compiled the latest v4l-dvb source and rebooted to load its modules (followed the instructions here to the T), built installed dvb-apps and szap-s2.



Some more diagnostics:



# ls /dev/dvb
adapter0
# ls /dev/dvb/adapter0
demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0
#


I just want to be able to tune and sniff some DVB-S channels w/o having to work on a Windows box
