Technisat Skystar HD2 and DVB-S2 8PSK channels

[Robysat]

Hello to all,I.m an italian and first of all I apologise for my bad English but I use an online translator.
This is my problem: I've a Technisat Skystar HD2 and I am an old feedhunther,with my Skystar HD2 all works fine for MPEG 2/MPEG4 4:2:0/4:2:2 DVB/DVB-S2 channels feed but only with Altdvb 2.2 and DVBViewer Pro while with DVBDream (vers.1.4i,1.5beta7 and 1,5a trial) only works fine the MPEG2 DVB 4:2:0/4:2:2 channels and much time I try to make working also DVBDream with the channels feed broadcast in DVB-S2 8PSK but I am never here successful.
I have tried all the versions of native BDA (from 2.0 at 2.5.3),all the version of ScanMan BDA_ALL_ devices (from BDA_ALL_102 at BDA_ALL_111) and also the test device of the friend r00T but always no signal on the transponders in DVB-S2 (the bar of the signal always remains at 0)
Repeat all ok with Altdvb2.2 and TransEdit/DVBViewer Pro.
I use the Technisat Skystar HD2 driver version 1.1.1.302 (the same problem also with Technisat Skystar HD2 driver version 1.1.1.502) on windows XP Prof.
On what might all this strange phenomenon depend?
Thank you in advance to the one who will be able and want to give me any answer

You should try DD driver module from this forum post

Where have you found 1.3.2.6790 driver? Latest one from Technisat web is 1.1.1.502 dated 07.02.2009.

What transponder (and sat) you are trying to receive? Skystar HD2 drivers seems to have problems with some S2 modulation types.
For example 10758V,10817V and 10876V (all 22000 DVB-S2 8/9 8PSK, from 23.5° Astra) can't be tuned by Skystar HD2, no matter what software I use (yes, tried ALT-DVB).
Also 16APSK and 32APSK signals can't be tuned. All these modulations should be supported by demodulator on card, so this must be some sort of driver issue.

Hi r00t and thank you for the answer.
Now I use this drivers here vers. 1.1.1.302
http://www.technisat-daun.de/download/s ... 2_6612.zip
but I have had the same problems with the version 1.1.1.502
http://www.technisat-daun.de/download/s ... 2_6790.zip
I've problems with DVBDream on all channels broadcast in DVB-S2,as I wrote I am a fan feedhunthers and with DVBDream and I've never been able to hook no signal on any channel or feed service,all works fine with Altdvb and DVBViewer.
I have already tested your new driver module and DD with that I have no signal even on regular channels broadcast in MPEG2 DVB-S !!!
I have on the same pc Technisat Skystar HD2 and also Technisat Skystar 2 vers.2.3 that I use in association with the program SAT BlindScan for my feedunthing,perhaps this could be the problem with DD?
Thanks again r00t for your interest and If you can advise me you make me a big favor.[/url]

Updated my driver to 0.2 so it runs with 1.1.1.900 driver.
http://www.dvbdream.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2662

Also did some research on drivers available for Mantis cards:
Skystar HD2 - latest is 1.1.1.502
TWINHAN - latest 1.1.1.800
Terratec - latest 1.1.1.901

This Terratec driver seems to be newest, it supports BDA CI interface unlike all others. But still, none of them can decode 16APSK signals. This sucks

Anyway I found out how to use Terratec driver with Skystar HD2, modified version is attached (32bit only, if anyone can send me 64bit inf and sys, I can mod that too).

Enjoy!

Finally also for me everything now works perfectly with DD thanks to your new driver 0.2 and Technisat driver vers. 1.1.1.502 !!!!
Now the regular channels and the feed of service broadcast in DVB-S2 modulation are ok,thanks very much r00t for your work that has solved a heavy problem to me.

Hello.

Sorry, I do not speak English very well, and use a translation program.

I just wanted to ask a little help, my friend r00t as I can install these drivers?

From the device manager, I tried updating the driver, and does not recognize those files "skystar_hd2_1.1.1.901.rar"

From the device manager, I tried updating the driver, and does not recognize those files "skystar_hd2_1.1.1.901.rar"

file with "rar" extension is archive file.
You need the program like WinRAR to extract files from this archive.

Genpix No, I have already extracted.

But there is no executable to install the driver.

From the Device Manager does not recognize those files to update the driver
