Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I am fairly new to using Linux so be a bit patient with me and please explain things that might not be obvious to me. I have an "ASUS n80vc" Laptop which I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop 64bit. I also have 2 USB DVB devices :- Technotrend tt-connect S2-3650 CI (DVB-S and DVB-S2) Technotrend tt-connect CT-3650 CI (DVB-T and DVB-C) I am trying to get these to work with my machine. I believe I need to some how to get these operating with something like MythTV or Video4Linux or VDR with a software decoder. So far I have tried to install a few packages via the synaptic installer but so far non have work successfully with my devices. I then did a little searching around and stumbled across this page http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechnoTrend_TT-connect_S2-3650_CI I think these are drivers or interfaces for my devices. I have followed the instructions for both S2API and Multiproto. S2API installation seemed to be successful but I have no way of confirming this. I had to "Sudo insmod" the modules to install them. I am not to sure if they will survive a reboot or will I have to install them again. These appear to install without any complaints. Multiproto installation did not seem to be entirely successful. I followed the instructions but the modules are not found when I arrive at the insmod stage. I suspect they did not compile successfully. I am clueless as how to get these to work. This is the output I received from the make command and I am not sure if this will shed some light on the matter. system@Firefly:~/3650/multiproto$ make make -C /home/system/3650/multiproto/v4l make[1]: Entering directory `/home/system/3650/multiproto/v4l' creating symbolic links...

The article also mentions that there is a "patched version of szap available (search mailing list). " I presume this is the correct place to look but some pointers and installation instructions would be helpful to me. If I get the S2API and Multiprot installed how do I use them to tune into, watch and download Mpeg Transport streams from DVB? Do they support multipul devices plugged in at once and the use of the CI interface? Any advise to the next stage would be gratefully appreciated. Many Thanks Chris /> Christopher J.
