As of 1st January 2011, this card is still not supported by the V4L-DVB tree. However, very minor changes as documented on Mr. Liplianin's changeset [http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin/rev/4dc29dc9ec91 14355] are required to make it work.
As of March 2011, this card is supported by the V4L-DVB media_build tree and the driver has been merged into the 2.6.39 kernel.

The simplest way to make it work is to use the [[s2-liplianin]] v4l branch.

This card works great for recieving DVB-S channels from Astra/Eurobird 28.2E. There are currently no FTA channels transmitted in DVB-S2 yet on these satellites, but MythTV 0.22 and newer correctly recognises the card as S2-capable.

One minor niggle is that the signal strength indicator doesn't work properly on my system. It seems to show a random value between 5% and 15%. Possibly a driver bug? However, this does not cause any problem with normal TV viewing and recording.
