The Technisat Skystar HD2 card (Azurewave AD SP400 clone) has now been used successfully with the current mantis tree. It is necessary to use szap to set DVB-S2 mode first, even if the transponder you want is DVB-S (discovered by chance). If this isn't done then it does not lock on to the frequency. So you do the following: szap -r -p -l UNIVERSAL -t 2 -a <card> <channel> CTRL-C that after it has settled, then: szap -r -p -l UNIVERSAL -t 0 -a <card> <channel> Then (leaving the above line running) you can do: cat /dev/dvb/adaptor<n>/dvr0 > file.mpg and it then records error-free video. As mentioned previously you need to change linux/drivers/media/dvb/ mantis/mantis_vp1041.h before building the drivers. Change the line: #define MANTIS_VP_1041_DVB_S2 0x0031 to #define MANTIS_VP_1041_DVB_S2 0x0001 This will let the driver detect the card properly on bootup due to its different subsystem IDs, otherwise the frontend isn't registered.
