Getting the driver for my Nova DVB-S2 card

The best page to describe DVB-S2 support in Linux I found was at:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/S2API

The S2 support is via an API called S2API. This replaced multiproto (although I found links out there at present telling you to use multiproto).

Kernal 2.6.28 should have the S2API included, but since I can't wait for that I will try to load it via the development repository at
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/s2

My card (the Nova S2) is also called Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-4000Lite DVB-S/S2 PCI (also known as the S2 Lite). This is supported by S2API.

To get the driver software, it is required to install mercurial version control software.
This is described at:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers

I downloaded software via the command
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~stoth/s2
cd s2
hg update

I have to contine with this by copying the s2 directory to my Myth box and then compiling it there.



This is the best link I found:
