Hell Nico,

the following has solved my problem. This is for "greenhorns" like me (with 
SuSE 9.0 , kernel 2.4.21 ):


(first deleting all sky-dvb stuff from
 /lib/modules/2.4.21-144-athlon/misc and ..../dvb)
(then making directory for CVS and changing to it:)

mkdir ~/linuxtv
cd lnuxtv 

(Login to the CVS from linuxtv.org in an xterm or console...)

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login

(password question:  press only ENTER)

(then checkout  dvb-kernel)

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-kernel

(cvs looks and finds nothing in my linuxtv: ergo it downloads all of the 
things i need !)

cd  dvb-kernel/build-2.4  	   # change to the directory
./getlinks             			  # makes all links 
make                  			 # the Modules were build
make install        			# and installed (of course as root)

(skystar2 entries in the /etc/modules.conf:)

options dvb-core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0
alias char-major-250 skystar2
add below skystar2 stv0299


(then a reboot was necessary to get acces to my skystar2 rev. 2.6B)

now i am zapping around the TV-Programms :-))

Thanks to all !!!
