DVB-S is digital satelite TV.
I bought a set to watch digital satelite TV. TerraTec Cinergy S2 USB HD.
SUSE Linux 12.1
On 2012-07-08 I got the Cinergy S2 USB HD tuner working on SUSE 12.1:
- find out if the system recognizes the hardware
# hwinfo --usb [...] Vendor: usb 0x0ccd "TerraTec Electronic GmbH" Device: usb 0x00a8 "USB Stick" Serial ID: "080116" Driver: "dw2102" [...]
- find out if the system provides a video device file:
# ll /dev/dvb/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Jul 7 22:53 adapter0
- download the firmware from the internet:
# wget http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
- extract the firmware, ignore any errors:
# tar xfv tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
- copy the firmware to the respective folder. A reboot is not necessary:
# cd tevii_ds3000/ # cp *.fw /lib/firmware/
- start your TV watching application:
kaffeine
- you see a window like this:
- select "digital TV"
- select "configure television"
- select "Channels"
SUSE Linux 11.4
does not work with this stick, hwinfo does not show a line with "Driver".
Knoppix 7.02
# hwinfo --usb Vendor: usb 0x0ccd "TerraTec Electronic GmbH" Device: usb 0x00a8 "USB Stick" Serial ID: "080116" Driver: "dw2102" # ll /dev/dvb/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Jul 7 22:53 adapter0 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install w-scan
Now the command
/usr/bin/dvbtune -f 11954000 -p H -s 27500 -v 110 -a 120 -t 130 -tone 1
did not return. So I updated the firmware:
wget http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz tar xfv tevii_ds3000.tar.gz # cd tevii_ds3000/ # cp *.fw /lib/firmware/
Then I rebooted. Now the dvbtune command from above returns. And I can watch satelite TV using the application kaffeine.
