+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)...
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ 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:
-======================
+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"
+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).
