[linux-dvb] KNC One TV Star DVB-S setup

[Eduard Werner]

Hi all,

I'm the new kid on the block. A few days ago I have bought a KNC because it 
was stated that there is linux support for it out there. Unfortunately, I now 
know that this is not quite true. But with the 2.6.16-rc5 kernel (sourcemage 
0.9.5) my computer recognizes the card:

Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] Linux video capture interface: v1.00
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] saa7146: register extension 'budget_av'.
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] enabled at IRQ 11
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> 
GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem f8860000 (revision 1, 
irq 11) (0x1894,0x0014).
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] DVB: registering new adapter (KNC TV STAR DVB-S).
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] adapter failed MAC signature check
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] encoded MAC from EEPROM was 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] budget-av: ci interface initialised.

Mar 11 16:40:04 [kernel] DVB: registering frontend 0 (ST STV0299 DVB-S)...

That's as far as I get right now. These are the loaded modules:

but no userworld software is running yet. Kdetv does not find a device and

and so on, but no image appears. So *something* is working but I am not yet 
there. Anyone who can  help me on?

Cheers, and thanks a lot
