hi everybody,
does anyone knows how to watch TV on FC4 using skystar2,
on windows XP everything is all right,
i need your help step by step.
i think that the first step is to find a driver for the skystar2 device on FC4 and then mplayer or xine does the remainder, isn't ?
thanks and best rgds,
Lion.

salut,
moi j'ai installé ma skystar2 sur redhat, depuis un bon bout de temps
le dvb est supporté par le noyau linux
il faut juste le recompiler avec les bons modules
pour le reste xine fait très bien l'affaire.
En plus,sous linux la carte dvb ne bouffe pas toutes les ressources
et il n'y a pas de petits blocages comme sous windows.
Je n'ai pas essayé le streaming avec vls mais je pense qu'il offre
des possibilités énormes.
Bon chance.

that would be cool if it works; tell us whether you could fix it, may be it will be worth to buy one.

Hi everyone,
to make your skystar2 cards work on FC4 just you have to recompile your kernel or upgrate you system via yum,
and then using kaffeine and the xine engine you can watch TV and listen to the radio, why kaffeine, 'cause if your skystar2 was detected, kaffeine will create automaticaly a DVB tab so you can make configuration to your device, note that you have to select the kaffeine-xine engine in the settings menu instead of kaffeine-Gstreamer,
thanks,
Lion.
