Find out what device you have
Important Notice: The driver does NOT support Technisat USB 2 devices!
First start your linux box with a shipped kernel:
lspci -vvv for a PCI device (lsusb -vvv for an USB device) will show you for example:
02:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip /
Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
dmesg | grep frontend may show you for example:
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24123/CX24109)...
Kernel compilation:
If the Flexcop / Technisat is the only DVB / TV / Radio device in your box get rid of unnecessary modules and check this one:
