CC: Betreff: Pinnacle PCTV Sat Pro PCI DVB-S Card

Hi folks,

I was wondering if someone could possibly advise me with regards to a Digital Satellite card which I am trying to get working.

The card is a Pinnacle PCTV Sat Pro PCI card. I am running Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 with a 2.6.17-11 kernel. Now it appears that a driver isn't loaded at startup so I guessed that this kernel at least doesn't support the
card.

Now I'm not very good at coding, in fact I'm next to useless at it but I wondered if there is anything I could do to help try and get this card working?

I'm not sure if this helps but below is the output of lspci -v for the card...

02:09.0 Multimedia controller: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Unknown device 0040
        Subsystem: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Unknown device 0048
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 3
        Memory at ea000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

02:09.2 Multimedia controller: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Unknown device 0042
        Subsystem: Pinnacle Systems Inc. Unknown device 0048
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 3
        Memory at ea001000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2


More details on the card can be found at:

If anyone could help I would be really grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hi Rob,
I fear that your card is an unsupported one.
I am running a Pinnacle PCTVSAT PCI, and my second one is a Pinnacle PCTVPRO, which is an analog card. Both are running fine.

Thanks Uwe,

The card was actually bought by my dad for his PC which I am going to install Ubuntu on. I figured I'd try it in my PC first to see if it was detected. I think we'll return it and order a Hauppage card which looking at the Wiki appears to be better supported (I believe the Hauppage card is a Nova-S Plus PCI).

Thanks anyway for the quick response.

Regards,

Rob
