DVB-S is digital satelite TV.

I bought a set to watch digital satelite TV. TerraTec Cinergy S2 USB HD.

SUSE Linux 12.1

On 2012-07-08 I got the Cinergy S2 USB HD tuner working on SUSE 12.1:

  • find out if the system recognizes the hardware
# hwinfo --usb
[...]
 Vendor: usb 0x0ccd "TerraTec Electronic GmbH"
 Device: usb 0x00a8 "USB Stick"
 Serial ID: "080116"
 Driver: "dw2102"
[...]
  • find out if the system provides a video device file:
# ll /dev/dvb/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Jul  7 22:53 adapter0
  • download the firmware from the internet:
# wget http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
  • extract the firmware, ignore any errors:
# tar xfv tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
  • copy the firmware to the respective folder. A reboot is not necessary:
# cd tevii_ds3000/
# cp *.fw /lib/firmware/
  • start your TV watching application:
kaffeine
  • you see a window like this:

Snapshot-dvb-s.png

  • select "digital TV"
  • select "configure television"

Snapshot-dvb-s2.png

  • select "Channels"

SUSE Linux 11.4

does not work with this stick, hwinfo does not show a line with "Driver".

Knoppix 7.02

# hwinfo --usb
  Vendor: usb 0x0ccd "TerraTec Electronic GmbH"
  Device: usb 0x00a8 "USB Stick"
  Serial ID: "080116"
  Driver: "dw2102"
# ll /dev/dvb/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 Jul  7 22:53 adapter0
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install w-scan

Now the command

/usr/bin/dvbtune -f 11954000 -p H -s 27500 -v 110 -a 120 -t 130 -tone 1

did not return. So I updated the firmware:

wget http://tevii.com/tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
tar xfv tevii_ds3000.tar.gz
# cd tevii_ds3000/
# cp *.fw /lib/firmware/

Then I rebooted. Now the dvbtune command from above returns. And I can watch satelite TV using the application kaffeine.
