How to set up the Technisat/B2C2 Flexcop devices
================================================
1) Find out what device you have
================================
Important Notice: The driver does NOT support Technisat USB 2 devices!
First start your linux box with a shipped kernel:
lspci -vvv for a PCI device (lsusb -vvv for an USB device) will show you for example:
02:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip /
Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
dmesg | grep frontend may show you for example:
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24123/CX24109)...
2) Kernel compilation:
======================
If the Flexcop / Technisat is the only DVB / TV / Radio device in your box
get rid of unnecessary modules and check this one:
"Multimedia support" => "Customise analog and hybrid tuner modules to build"
In this directory uncheck every driver which is activated there
(except "Simple tuner support" for ATSC 3rd generation only -> see case 9 please).
Then please activate:
2a) Main module part:
"Multimedia support" => "DVB/ATSC adapters"
=> "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters"
a.) => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC PCI" (PCI card) or

and for troubleshooting purposes:
c.) => "Enable debug for the B2C2 FlexCop drivers"
2b) Frontend / Tuner / Demodulator module part:
