Can SkyStar2 Sat TV rcvr card work with Puppy?

#1 Post by Zonkle »

Hi,

I'm still new to Linux .... and Puppy too :)

I used to use a program like ProgDVB in Windows to access my DVB card SkyStar2 and recieve sat channels.

So is it possible to make that work with Puppy ? and how?

Thanks.

Try GeexBox linux, small and listed supported

I have one of the USB versions, both where listed as being supported with this 11M linux distro. I need to try mine out but my dish has been knocked out of alinment by a cow.

Thanks Ted :D

GeexBox is pretty cool (6MB!). As you said, I think SkyStar2 is supported by GeexBox, but I wanted to do the thing with Puppy, because GeexBox doesn't have Internet support .... I would live my media center to have Internet surfing at least. And I think GeexBox needs time to be better.

In Puppy, I opened Xine and I saw that there is "DVB", but it doesn't work ..... and i heard something about playlist ... so i was opening something and I saw it is askin to run the scan utility! .. where is that??


Your dish is hit by a cow :lol:
Good luck.

Thanks a lot ;)
