The current drivers don't support DiSEqC what makes the card almost useless.
The drivers are now stable, and work well on reasonably current 2.6. kernels (certainly 2.6.24 upwards).


The current linuxtv.org-modules support DiSEqC. But some DiSEqC configuration can have problem with current overload at startup.

WinTV Nova-S Plus MCE

A DVB-S PCI Budget card by Hauppauge.

Linux driver since 2005. Read http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-November/006081.html The drivers are now stable, and work well on reasonably current 2.6. kernels (certainly 2.6.24 upwards).

The current linuxtv.org-modules support DiSEqC. But some DiSEqC configuration can have problem with current overload at startup. Solution can be this patch

Remarks

  • Version of the v4l-dvb driver around linux 2.6.22-14 kernel fail on (dvb)scan.
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 10773000 H 22000000 5
>>> tune to: 10773:h:0:22000
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
>>> tune to: 10773:h:0:22000 (tuning failed)
WARNING: >>> tuning failed!!!
ERROR: initial tuning failed
dumping lists (0 services)
Done.

This bug is now fixed and the driver works.

  • Some versions of the card seem prone to what appears to be hardware failure breaking control of the tone generator from the DVB frontend IC. Work-around patches are available that (at least for some cards) restores basic tone+voltage DISEQC signally sufficient for simple configurations. See Kernel Bug Tracker – Bug 9476 and linux-media mailing list archive).
