Hi Alexander, I was starting in 2006 to write a driver the SS2 Rev 2.7A. I'm not sure how much different the V-version is, but all my work so far can be found here: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb.skystar2.rev27/ I'm also having a driver source from BBTI (from 2005) (the software company-part of b2c2) The contact to them shutdown, when I tried to get more info about this card (and its driver) this year. I even don't have a windows driver for the card I have, so I'm not even sure whether they work at all. The drivers in my repository are not complete, in fact they will not tune at all, but they can be used as a base to finish development. HTH, Patrick.
