A DVB-S2 USB 2.0 Device from TechnoTrend. Identical to the TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3600, but bundled with a CI interface.

It is currently unsupported, but experimental support has been attempted.

Overview/Features

This is a USB 2.0 device capable of receiving DVB-S and DVB-S2 tranponders.
Upon connection to the USB port, the devices' LED is orange and turns green upon module load.
The USB receiver comes with a black RC5 remote control. IR events can be read from /dev/input/eventX


Components Used

  • Cypress CY7C68013A USB controller [1]
  • STM STB0899 (demodulator) [2]
  • STM STB6100 (tuner) [3]
  • STM LNBP22 (LNB voltage regulator) [4]
  • STM M24C64 (EEPROM containing USB controller firmware, MAC address) [5]

Identification

Vendor ID: 0B48
Product ID: 300A

Making it Work

What we know:

  • it uses parts/all of the ttusb-USB-protocol
  • isochronous Data transfer (whole TS only)
  • no firmware is needed (budget device)

Drivers

The following drivers are needed for these devices:

 - stb0899.ko
 - stb6100.ko
 - lnbp22.ko
 - ttpci-eeprom.ko
 - dvb-usb.ko
 - dvb-usb-pctv452e.ko

To use this device you have to have a tuning application that uses the new S2API or multiproto DVB api. There's a patched version of szap available (search mailing list).

Make sure you haven't loaded any old dvb drivers. Here's a step by step howto:


S2API

A problem with locking high symbol rate channels (DVB-S2 30000 3/4 transponders) has been reported a number of times for the similar (but PCI not USB) TechnoTrend TT-budget S2-3200, but has not been solved. http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-January/031673.html, http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-February/031779.html .

This problem also exists for the TT S2-3650 CI USB.

Such transponders can be found at Thor 0.8W and Hispasat 30.0W.

A way to use the similar (but USB) TechnoTrend TT-connect S2-3650 CI to help fix problem has been suggested here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg01169.html .

Do you have the TT S2-3200 or TT S2-3650 ? Can you help debug the driver?
