Post subject:  TechniSat SkyStar 1 CI R5A12 &10 Please Help me

Hello,

TechniSat SkyStar 1 CI R5A12 &10 (Can't open card)

I have got a TechniSat SkyStar 1 CI and in the post setup I tryed to config it to a DVB card on 0, 1, 2 and 3 but they all say can't open card.
At boot-time it seem's to see the card to 'I think' Knoppix has loaded the right driver but i'm not sure. :?
Could some one please help with some thing that I could may be try in the Shell :oops:

Thank you very much for your time, Edward.

close the frontend mythtv, enter the console and login as root.

than: /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart

now the card is available in the setup and you can scan for channels ( type: mythtv-setup).

If not: delete the card in mythtvsetup (NOT THE CHANNELS) and restart,
go again in setup choose the card, go to point 3 link the card to the device.
Now you can search for channels.

This worked for my Technisat Airstar 2 (DVB-T).

Stop the backend then run mythtv-setup. After you're done w/ setup start the backend.

Hi, thanks. But still no luke.
When I try to stop the backend it say's that there is no backend running so none to kill. I think the backend is not starting.

Should I try to:
Remove

Code:
options tuner type=2

from /etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv and reboot, would this help?
Also what would the name of the video soruce be which I need to link to, type in at opsion 3 in the setup?
Thanks for your time, Edward.

No, that wouldn't help as your tuner isn't an "ivtv" tuner. Perhaps your need the firmware?

Could some one please help me out on this one, i'm lost :oops: I read read and read and still i'm getting more lost. I'm dislexic by the way which is not helpful :oops:
Also would updateing to a newer kernal help? Which I don't know how to do (I posted nother topic about it under 'intall'.
Thanks for your time and sorry if i'm a pain but i'm basicly stuck, Edward.
