I have the same card since 6 weeks and it works in "non HD-TV-mode" on
opensuse 11.0. The driver is: Driver used:

>From what you wrote
I think the card is working. But try to scan in this way: scan-s2 -a 1 -s 0 -x 0 -t 1 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E > ~/.szap/channels1.conf This worked for me. -a 1 is the my second TV-card, you should use 0, -s 0 is OK, -x 0 finds only free-to-air-channels, t -1 finds only TV. You output in dmesg is OK, shows that the card is working. Hartmut Dave Lister schrieb: Hello all, I'd like to ask for your help. After weeks of research and deliberation I bought two SkyStar HD2 PCI cards (quite a lot money for me). It seemed to be working for everybody. BUT I have already spent two days reading mailing lists, downloading repositories, compiling drivers, apps, kernels and bending code to make it compile. Please, does anybody know how to help me? In short the driver doesn't seem to communicate with the card at all. It's unable to send DiSEqC commands (not necessary in my case), unable to tune the tuner, unable to report any signal strength info etc. I have a dark sense of foreboding about this, because as things stand now, it seems I'll have to recoup my losses (can't return these cards) and buy different ones, possibly more expensive. Just these two cost me half my month's salary. I was so damn sure they'll work - from all the reports and success stories on the web, even LinuxTV said so. If you knew my wife... I mean this is going to be a disaster. :( Drivers tried: http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto, http://jusst.de/hg/mantis (couldn't make it compile) Driver used: http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin Kernels tried w/driver: Debian 2.6.29; Debian 2.6.26; vanilla 2.6.29 DVB apps/utils: 1.1.1+rev1207-4 S2API DVB apps/utils: http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/{szap-s2,scan-s2} lspci -vv: 07:01.0 Multimedia controller: Twinhan Technology Co.
