Hello,

I am using a "TechniSat SkyStar S2" DVB-S2 card. Drivers for this card
are included in the kernel tree since 4.2. Unfortunately, i can't tune
to ANY DVB-S2 channels with this new in-tree driver. DVB-S channels are
working fine. Id[1] of the commit which introduced support for this card.

Before 4.2 arrived i have used this[2] patch with which DVB-S2 channels
where tuneable without any problems. This patch works even with 4.3
after i have converted the fe_ structs to enums.

If you need anything to debug this behaviour, i will be at your disposal.



What program are you using to try and tune? Is it trying to tune in using DVB-S2? The "other" driver was done quite some while ago, and included some clunky code to fallback to S2 if DVB-S tuning failed as it was developed before the DVB API had support for supplying DVB-S2 as a delivery system and this was the only way of supporting S2 back then. This was removed in the in-tree driver as it isn't needed anymore, but this does mean that the tuning program needs to supply the correct delivery system.

Have you tried it with dvbv5-scan & dvbv5-zap?

Regards,

Jemma
