Hi.
First time poster, intermediate linux knowledge, first time TVHeadend user.
I have just recently (yesterday) decided to make the switch from Windows Home Server 2011 with MediaPortal TV Server to Ubuntu Server and TV Headend.
I have been trying to install the drivers for my Digital Devices DuoFlex S2 Mini PCIe TV card but have come to a bit of an abrupt stop.
I discovered that there are no Linux drivers for my particular TV card (first D'oh moment)! After a bit of googling, I found this little gem:
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board16-video-disk-recorder/board85-hdtv-dvb-s2/95811-digital-devices-duoflex-s2-minipcie-linux-treiber/
It contains a link to a website here:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mystique_SaTiX-S2_Dual
And also contains a duoflex_0.diff patch:

And another patch (ngene_shutdown_workaround_1.diff) which addresses some sleep issues:

Right, hallelujah! I thought,
First hurdle: The firmware link included in the driver build wiki link above is missing! (Second D'oh moment)! I found it here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/filelist
I cloned the files from the mercurial source as stated, and tried applying the duoflex_0.diff patch - This failed and I do not have the knowledge to tweak it to work - The second patch ngene_shutdown_workaround_1.diff applies fine!!
Please can someone help me out?? I feel that I am so close to getting it all working - And have thoroughly done my homework and exhausted all other avenues!!
Any help will be greatly received!!
Many thanks!! (and sorry for the essay)
Dan.
