Could anyone give me a > rough translation of the text (related to the files) on that page ? my Russian is very poor, but here is what i understood: the driver is port for FreeBSD of LinuxTV.org driver version 0.8.x for Skystar1 board revision 1.3, it is originally written by Stanislav Golovin in 2001 and has support only for "Internet via satelitte". list of the files from http://www.gs.ru/info/si/SS1bsd.html with descriptions : "FreeBSDnarodru.zip" - archive of the original project site (in Russian) "skystar1-20021126b.tgz" - source code of the version of the driver written by Alexander Romanov, that adds support for Skystar1 revision 1.5, it's from 26.11.2002 "fbsd_ss1-0.0.2-2.tar.gz" - source code of the original version of the driver written by Stanislav Golovin, that supports only Skystar1 revision 1.3, it's from 14.03.2001 "dvbd-20021007.tgz" - DVBD version 0.0.7 from 07.10.2002 "sstest.zip" - test utility that tunes the card to EuropeOnLine Transponder 103 (EOL TR103), more info about EOL and TR103: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Sat-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.1 http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Sat-HOWTO-8.html#ss8.1 and then checks the settings of the card. however it's old and TR103 is not used anymore by EOL. "skystart.zip" - SkyStar1 Control Utility (Based on sstest.c and and dccp daemon source code) "dvbd-20050121.tgz" - DVBD version 1.1b from 21.01.2005, the code for FreeBSD is based on LinuxTV.org driver version 0.8.2, that doesn't support spectral inversion, so Serg Gorokhovatsky added support for spectral inversion in that version of DVBD, more info about spectral inversion: http://www.rfcafe.com/references/electrical/spectral_inv.htm "skystar1-fbsd50-20040312.tar.bz2" - source code of the driver, that adds support for FreeBSD 5.x, made by Andrei Gritsai (sorry, not sure about the spelling of the name), it's from 12.03.2004 "skystar1-fbsd50-20040312-compiled.tar.bz2" - binaries of the driver version above "ss1_fbsd5_avos.tar.gz" - source code of another version of the driver, that adds support for FreeBSD 5.x, made by Ruslan Latypov, according to the author it's very stable, it's from 02.11.2005 ss1fbsd5_3_4.tar.gz - old version, from 10.10.2005, of the driver made by Ruslan Latypov, that adds support for FreeBSD 5.x, ss1fbsd6_x.tar.gz - source code of the driver, that add support for FreeBSD 6.x, made by Ruslan Latypov, it has problem - sometimes gives core dumped on unload, it's from 27.01.2006 other links from http://www.gs.ru/info/si/SS1bsd.html that still works: Skystar1 driver for OpenBSD (in English) : http://www.alloyant.com/dvb/ how to setup Skystar1 under FreeBSD (in Russian): http://nobodyman.plhs.ru/benefits/8/print http://www.skyvision.net.ua/pages/ss1-freebsd.html > > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-multimedia/2006-September/004747.html > > > > there are two major hardware designs for DVB-T/-C/-S cards based on > > SAA7146A, the so called "full-featured design" and "budget design". > > Yes, I know. and there is hardware modification known as "budget patch" for cards with "full-featured design" (Skystar1) to make their operation almost identical to cards with "budget design": http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_TT_Budget_Patch
