A FTA PCI DVB-S2 card from TechniSat.
Components Used
- PCI Bridge: FlexCop II B
- Demodulator: CX24120-13Z
- Tuner: CX24118A
- LNB: ISL6421
The CX24118A Tuner supports QPSK, 8PSK Modulation.
Drivers
Driver now in the main media tree, should be included in 4.2 kernel. Can be installed before then with the V4L-DVB media_build process: How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers. Requires firmware file dvb-fe-cx24120-1.20.58.2.fw.
High bandwidth transponders (>45Mbps) are problematic, eg 23.5E 12207 V 27500 5/6.
Page Allocation Failure
Some systems see occasional page allocation problems on module reload/init (even on systems with 1GB of ram). The following command may help:
echo 16384 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
