Hi there,

I hope it's ok for me to ask a (perhaps trivial) question to you.

I've got a Medion MD8386XL PC with a Medion CTX925-Karte (SAA7134) . The card supports analogue TV, DVB-T and DVB-S via Hybridtuner. According to some Forums the Tuner should be a Philips FMD1216ME M33 Hybrid-Tuner. My Linux-Distribution is ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft with Kernel 2.6.17-10.386.

Unfortunately I'm not able to get DVB-s to work and I couldn't find the necessary info in the ubuntu forum (or at least I did not understand it...)
I think the card should work as card 12 Tuner 63

lspci -v output is:

After sudo modprobe SAA7134 I get the following output:

dmesg | grep frontend says:
[17179586.688000] DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10046H DVB-T)...

After sudo modprobe SAA7134_dvb, /dev/dvb/adapter0 gets created.

If I start kaffeine, I get DVB-T to work. Kaffeine recognisez the card as:
Using DVB device 0:0 "Philips TDA10046H DVB-T"

Why TDA10046H instead of FMD1216ME?

TDA10046 is the channel decoder which is the "center of the frontend": Thats
correct.

Why is there no other device for DVB-S available?

Hm, does anybody know which channel decoder and tuner are used in the DVB-S
section?

I hope you can help me here..

Thanks and kind regards,

Winger

Hartmut
