Why build it externally? I was quite certain that the ddbridge drivers are in mainline for a while now?

Which modules to you select?

I'm thinking of getting into the whole satellite thing (DVB-T user for now) and was searching for interesting DVB-S2
tuners. I found that the l4m octopus/duoflex-s2 a very interesting device. While expensive you can connect up to 8
tuners! to a single PCI-e 1x lane (Bandwith should be more then enough). While I know there is a octopus mini-pcie
device, I heard that there where some PCB issues so decided on getting the PCI-e version.

I have tried googling for some up to date linux! information but found very little. Are there any l4m/dd octopus/duoflex
DVB-S2 (or even CAM/DVB-C/DVB-T) users here that can share their current (and past) experiences? The tuner (only 1
dualtuner board and the octopus) will set you back a good 200Euro so I want to be sure that the devices is properly
supported.

  I'm using a DuoFlex with a DVB-C/T dual tuner modul. How to build the latest drivers is described here (german only):

  If you'r using Ubuntu or yaVDR, there's the linux-media-dkms package with this driver included.
  My DVB-C/T card is working here for months with no problems. Second dual tuner is ordered... :)

Lars.
