| How to set up the Technisat/B2C2 Flexcop devices |
| ================================================ |
| |
| 1) Find out what device you have |
| ================================ |
| |
| First start your linux box with a shipped kernel: |
| lspci -vvv for a PCI device (lsusb -vvv for an USB device) will show you for example: |
| 02:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02) |
| |
| dmesg | grep frontend may show you for example: |
| DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24123/CX24109)... |
| |
| 2) Kernel compilation: |
| ====================== |
| |
| If the Technisat is the only TV device in your box get rid of unnecessary modules and check this one: |
| "Multimedia devices" => "Customise analog and hybrid tuner modules to build" |
| In this directory uncheck every driver which is activated there (except "Simple tuner support" for case 9 only). |
| |
| Then please activate: |
| 2a) Main module part: |
| |
| a.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" |
| b.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC PCI" in case of a PCI card |
| OR |
| c.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC USB" in case of an USB 1.1 adapter |
| d.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" => "Enable debug for the B2C2 FlexCop drivers" |
| Notice: d.) is helpful for troubleshooting |
