Technisat Skystar HD2 DVB-S2 Satellite PCI Card under Linux

Note: this will also work for Twinhan VP-1041 and Azurewave AD SP400

Kernel prerequisites

Make sure to use a current kernel (>=2.6.28) because v4l and its S2API is included here. I have tested it with the 2.6.28-16 kernel on an Ubuntu Jaunty.

DVB module

hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/
make && make install
reboot

MythTV compilation

wget http://www.mythtv.org/download/mythtv/0.22
tar xvjf mythtv-0.22.tar.bz2
./configure --dvb-path=/path/to/s2-liblianin/linux/include
make && make install

The dvb-path parameter provides DVB-S2 ability because the "frontend.h" of s2-liblianin is able to handle it.
