Hi,

attached is a "driver" for the Technisat CableStar HD2 DVB-C TV card.  It's 
modeled after jmg's bktrau/cxd drivers: Minimal kernel part, demodulator and 
tuner programming in userland.

The kernel part is almost complete (modulo proper locking and access 
restrictions).

The userland part does not do a whole lot, but has complete support for all 
the demodulator and tuner capabilities.  Currently it only tunes to a fixed 
(hardcoded) channel and dumps the raw MPEG-TS stream to a file.

I'm looking for a good MPEG-TS de-multiplexer with PSI support.  If you know 
of such a thing, let me know.

Until then, maybe somebody will find this interesting ...

BTW, the bridge chip supported by the kernel part (TwinHan/Digimove Mantis) is 
quite common in the consumer cards market.  It should support most of the 
Technisat *Star product line, as well as some Terratec Cinergy products.  But 
you'd obviously need a different userland to support the tuner/demods on these 
cards.

Regards,
