USB Tuner: DVB-S2, e.g. TBS Q-Box II

[kleinerjunge]

Hi angelofsky1980,

what about support of DVB-S2 USB-tuner as for example TBS Q-Box II??

As I could read, there are already native Ubuntu drivers for this device. Will it be possible that Vu+ Duo and Solo can support it? Or maybe with some help of owner of such a device, when attaching to receiver?

I think, that would be a great step forward for BH Images and VU+ in general!!

Also DVB-S/S2 Tuner from Sundtek should be integratable without problems, as they support most platforms as Intel/AMD(x86 32/64bit), ARM, MIPS, PPC.

I've looked for TBS drivers but unfortunately there is nothing to do: some parts of the drivers are in binary forms and doesen't exists for Mipsel arch (only x64 and x86).

Is there a list of tuners out there to select from do you know or just a lucky dip?

Actually I cannot prepare a list of supported hardware DVB-S2 tuners are quite different than DVB-T/C devices.

Maybe we can ask members to report back that a working DVB S tuner that are working & compile a list from that!

With newest DVB USB drivers I should test the TeVii S660 .... and I hope they works correctly
