Hello Angelofsky1980,

I know you are busy with driver coding but can you let me know if there's any chance you will be able to create BH drivers for the Sundtek Media TV Pro. If you don't have time or think it is not possible, this is fine, I will by another compatible DVB-T stick. I would like to get a tevii 660 as I need a 3rd DVB-S2 tunner so I am waiting to see if you can make your own drivers for the Sundtek.

Thanks a lot for your help and great work as always!!

Sundtek company has contacted me for support around th device they produce.
On the next weeks I think to give support for these devices in BH image.

This is brilliant, thank you very much!! I don't mind waiting a bit longer now that I know you are working on the drivers.

Cheers

Sundtek guys are in Taiwan until the 20th of April as well so we will need to wait until they are back in Europe for DEV work to resume: see below:
We are currently in Taiwan checking and working on the upcoming hardware from our factory, we don't have access to a VU+ device until 20th May (when we return to Berlin). Basically all settopbox work on our side has to be postponed until that date.
Aside of that we will send Angelofsky a few samples I'm sure we'll figure out your issue sooner or later. Even Dreambox Systems have some detection code in it for some different Image versions, VU+ currently doesn't.
Probably an idea to ping them again angelofsky although I am sure they won't forget.

Cheers

There are many BH users and fans that have Sundtek sticks and would love to have the drivers included on the BH usb-tuner panel driver.

Do the sundtek devices work on BH if you install them the way sundtek describe on their website? I'm trawelling throw next week and would like to by one of these if answer is positive.

Yes they work but the drivers operate outside of the Kernel so the device is not actually detected by the BH image. In other words you cannot have 4 tuners with this device. Plus the drivers use quite a bit of memory and you get some picture breakup.
Unless you need DVB-C, I would not buy this device, just one of the cheaper sticks out there like hauphauge.

Thanx for your answer. I already have nova DVB-T but want to have DVB-C too and sundtek seems to be a good choice. Especially when angelofsky fix drivers for this DVB-C/T tuner, which I hope he will do.

Just trying to get 2x Sundtek to work with BH. Anyone tested it?
There is workaround in Sundtek forum to get C+T to work with Sundteks, should it work with BH?

Installed with sundtek_installer.sh

after that:

create a file /usr/sundtek/startdvb.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  /opt/bin/mediaclient -D DVBC
  /opt/bin/mediaclient --enabledreambox=/dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
fi
if [ "$1" = "1" ]; then
  /opt/bin/mediaclient -D DVBT -d /dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend0
  /opt/bin/mediaclient --enabledreambox=/dev/dvb/adapter2/fronted0
  init 4
  sleep 2
  init 3
fi


on the system run:
Code:
cd /usr/sundtek
chmod 777 startdvb.sh

[/CODE]

after that

root@bm750:/usr/sundtek# source startdvb.sh
root@bm750:/usr/sundtek# reboot

and only C tuner is in the enigma2 tuner settings.

Code:
root@bm750:/tmp# /opt/bin/mediaclient -e
