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:
 
 
 
[[File:snapshot-dvb-s.png]]
 
* select "digital TV"
 
 
 
* select "configure television"
 
 
 
[[File: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.
