> dmesg | grep -i dvb
[ 2.474107] DVB: registering new adapter (FlexCop Digital TV device)
[ 2.515619] b2c2-flexcop: found 'Samsung S5H1420/PnpNetwork PN1010 DVB-S' .
[ 2.515623] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Samsung S5H1420/PnpNetwork PN1010 DVB-S)...
[ 2.515670] b2c2-flexcop: initialization of 'Sky2PC/SkyStar 2 DVB-S rev 2.7a/u' at the 'PCI' bus controlled by a 'FlexCopIIb' complete

I used to build the module manually (http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pb/v4l-dvb/), but due to the fact, that my rev 2.7a is supported by the kernel nowadays, I'm putting them in the kernel directly:
Quote:
> grep -i b2c2 /boot/config-kernel-2.6.31-gentoo-r10
# Supported FlexCopII (B2C2) Adapters
CONFIG_DVB_B2C2_FLEXCOP=y
CONFIG_DVB_B2C2_FLEXCOP_PCI=y
# CONFIG_DVB_B2C2_FLEXCOP_USB is not set
# CONFIG_DVB_B2C2_FLEXCOP_DEBUG is not set

Using Kaffeine (because, unfortunately, I haven't found a better tv frontend) there is a easy way to search for your channels by the use of the build-in scan function.
