You can skip this section if you want to go straight to business and start grabing data. To understand data grabing you must know how satellite communication works. To send data to satellite which can be any data we use Uplink Station which are located on the earth. The satellite in the Sky receives the data and then it retransmits it to the earth. This works perfectly for Video channels. But the uplink can contain any kind of data so why not use it for internet. But it works a bit differently than conventional internet where you send and receive data on the same line. In satellite internet you uplink data through your local internet (Dial-UP, ISDN,ADSL) and get the downstream from satellite. Why this complicated procedure why not use Uplink and Downlink from the satellite. Well uplink to satellite requires expensive equipment so every one cant afford such uplink hardware therefore we use the local uplink and then get the data through satellite.
Requirements
a) Computer with a PC-DVB card installed.
b) Dish pointed towards a satellite which contains data channels.
c) File Grabbing software (eg. FileGraber,Skynet,Mana etc)
We will be using FileGraber which is a Module for ProgDVB and is very easy to setup.
Installing FileGraber
and then continue.
Go to http://www.progdvb.com and get the FileGraber Module or Download it Extract the content of the zip file and paste it into your ProgDVB Modules folder. If you installed ProgDVB in C: drive then the path will be "c:\ProgDVB\Modules\". The zip file contains two modules "FileGraber" and "PidScanner". You must have both of them in the modules folder as shown below.
Scanning Channels
Just scan the satellite which contain the data channels. After Scanning you should see some channels with a green flopy icon in front of them. These are data channels and contain data. If you click on them then nothing will happen you wont see any video.
Scaning PID s
Click on a data channel.
Now click "Services"
and click Data PidScanner
Now click scan and wait for a moment. After the scan is complete. Note down all the pids and click close.
Configuring FileGraber
Click Services and click FileGraber
Click New
Enter a name for your service (any name)
Now enter all the pids that you noted down separating them with a comma " , "
click ok
Now click Options
Create a folder in any drive of you choice where you have alot of space.
then create three folder named "Work", "Bad" and "Out" inside that folder and enter its path in the options
click OK
Now from the Services Select the Name you created and then Click Start
Data Grabbing should start now.
You can also Configure what files to download by going to the filter.
Check all the files that you want to download.

Satellite TV on my PC - How is this possible?
If you're new to this then you have some exciting times ahead.
There is a huge fuss being made in the media at the moment about claims of 'Free satellite TV on your PC' or 'Free Sky on the Internet' services. A lot of it is just the usual Media Hype, but the TV companies are starting to take notice. In fact, they've been watching for quite a while.
Are you confused about what's possible? Do you just want the bottom line on how (or even if) it works?
That's quite easy.
You can either have the video and audio streamed over an IP network (the Internet, or your home LAN if you have one) or you can receive it from a satellite. Only the latter is real 'satellite TV'.
The rest of it is usually very poor quality viewing and very unreliable.
Why do you think that most of the companies and websites offering this kind of service want a one-time, up-front membership fee?
If there weren't so many of them, they would probably be quite rich by now!
To be perfectly honest, a very few of them do provide some sort of watchable service, but it's still not very reliable. They normally get their feeds from places like China. Whilst there's nothing wrong with that, you can imagine that there are even more technological and logistical problems than a domestic-based provider. It's insecure, messy and busy. The sources change regularly as they are shut down by the 'net police.
So what does that mean to me?
Well, of course you have a choice. Real satellite TV to your PC. Directly. No middle man, no 'server busy, please try later'. No here-today, gone-tomorrow lifetime subscription services and no worries about who's knocking on your door - it's completely legal if you just want to watch the free to air (FTA) channels.
There is no 'Free Sky TV'. If that was the case, there would be nobody left paying for it!
What you can do, is have a heap of fun grabbing all the free TV that's out there (...and there's a lot...) and stay completely legal.
Of course, if you want to get free Premiership football, movies, porn or whatever then you can do that too, but that's not what this is about. You can add those for nothing later.
This is about a simple, standard and well-proven piece of hardware which plugs into either a vacant PCI slot in your motherboard, or a free USB port. Although the latter might sound appealing, far better results are generally achieved using the PCI card. It's just a faster
device.
A Skystar 1 or 2 card will provide the required platform to get the pictures onto your PC screen. It's so cheap, it's ridiculous! The only other thing you need is a satellite dish. That will rule this option out for some people, but it's no big deal for most. You can even piggy-back off your existing dish.
I should say that we're not selling anything here. We're just here to help you have some fun. You can source these cards very easily, cheaply and legally from the UK and all over Europe. They are also used to receive 'Internet by satellite' data links.
One of the best things about the Technisat Skystar 2 (the cheaper of the two) is that it will even decode HDTV (though not the new Sky channels, as they use a different system) and live 4:2:2 feeds.
How much? Around £45 new.
Go and have a scout around and see what you can get one for. Then come back here and we'll help you set it all up, 'cos we're nice like that

Installing Skystar 2 in Linux
This is how you can make SkyStar 2 work in Fedora core 3 distribution (with the Kernel 2.6.10)
By: Michael Lopez (the_one2003a)
Some Checks First:
First you should be sure that your current Kernel version supports SkyStar2 DVB card (by default 2.6.x supports just for sake of being sure) :
type the command:
dmesg
and now look for :
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopII(rev.130) chip found
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 6 hardware filters
DVB: registering new adapter (Technisat SkyStar2 driver).
type the command:
lsmod
and now look for :
skystar2 and some module names like that
---------------------------------------
if you couldn't find them, just get the new kernel version from www.kernel.org and "recompile/if RPM install it" your kernel"
if you are going to recompile your kernel be sure to check that in Digital Broadcasting option the B2C2 is checked as module (by default it is but check to become sure). and follow the compiling instructions from the README file.
if you are sure you have B2C2 support in your kernel version but have some problems in its loading just see the ending section of this tutorial (Laking and TomS2 post)
START Here:
Just execute the following .sh file :
with the command:
sh filename.sh
Just for security reasons Use User and Groups from the System settings menu of the Fedora Core 3 Menu, to create a group named "video". Add all users who should have access to the DVB-card to this group or you can skip it (you will only get some errors in the next step the you can ignore it)
#!/bin/sh
# Create device nodes for the Linux DVB API with DVB_API_VERSION 2.
# The devices created are suitable for most current PC DVB cards,
# i.e. cards having one frontend, one demux and optionally one
# MPEG decoder.
# The script creates devices for four cards by default.
if [ -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then
echo "It seems you are using devfs. Good!"
exit 0
fi
# get rid of old DVB API devices; do it twice for good measure...
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/dvb
rm -rf /dev/dvb
mkdir /dev/dvb
chmod 755 /dev/dvb
for i in `seq 0 3`; do
echo "Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter$i"
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter$i
chmod 755 /dev/dvb/adapter$i
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/video0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 0`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/audio0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 1`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/frontend0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 3`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/demux0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 4`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/dvr0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 5`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/ca0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 6`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/net0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 7`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/osd0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 8`
chown root.video /dev/dvb/adapter$i/*
done
now you should have a directory with the name "dvb" in your /dev/ directory and "adaptor0,adaptor1,adaptor2,adaptor3" and each of them contain the following:
audio0
ca0
demux0
dvr0
frontend0
net0
osd0
video0
now it is time to test if your dvb card is working or not so:
get the linux-dvb-apps from www.linuxtv.org or the following url:
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/li....0.tar.bz2(this is the newest version in time of writing this stuff)
now just open it and make them
with the command:
make
In here I will explain how to work with "szap" and "scan" utils:
with szap you can tune your DVB card to a specific frequency make sure if your driver works or not.
a basic usage of it is like below:
./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-astra n24
-c switch tells the szap to read the channels information from a file (in here channels.conf-dvbs-astra)
and "n24" is the name of the channel for tuning.
now if you can't receive this satellite signals save below information to a file with the name channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird:

Tapesh 2:10949:v:0:27500:7101:7111:7462
NOTE:if you are using a DISEQc change the zero (0) number after 10949:v:0 to the number of your HotBird DISEQc number starting from zero. so if my Hotbird be configured on my second number of DISEQc I should change it to 1.
Mediatel:10949:v:1:27500:5001:5011:7401
Hint: this is how the channels-information (channels.conf-dvbs-astra) file format should be:
Mediatel:10949:v:0:27500:5001:5011:7401
channel name:frequency:h/vISEQc # :symbol rate:vpid:apid:sid
the command looks like:
./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird Mediatel
if you received something like this(pay attention to FE_HAS_LOCK):
status 03 | signal b05c | snr 72d5 | ber 0000fff0 | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal b890 | snr ada6 | ber 000021a5 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b833 | snr ad73 | ber 00000039 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b917 | snr accb | ber 00000044 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b908 | snr ad43 | ber 00000025 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal b89d | snr adfd | ber 00000034 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal ba10 | snr ada6 | ber 00000022 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK
your driver is working correctly.
HINT:IF you are interested in knowing what the other parts of this message mean:
status 0x1f --- The demodulator status bits.
0x1f means all bits set, everything ok.
signal [0x0000...0xffff] --- Signal Strength. Values above 0x8000 should be ok.
snr [0x0000...0xffff] --- Signal/Noise Ratio. Values above 0x8000 are ok.
ber [0...0xffffffff] --- Bit Error Rate. The less the better.
unc [0...0xffffffff] --- Number of Uncorrectable Blocks.
Small numbers are Preferable.
If everything is alright and all frontend circuits are working stable
(are locked) you should see a FE_HAS_LOCK in the rightmost line.
now you can get one of the dvb softwares for linux:
Mythtv: http://www.mythtv.org for source code OR its RPM for Fedora Core 3 from http://atrpms.net/dist/fc3/mythtv/
HINT: this is a way to play a satellite channel with a simple player:
"-r" switch will route the satellite stream to the DVR Device(in the Hard Disk so you can record it).
so in the command type:
./czap -c channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird Mediatel -r
[keep it running in one console]
[open another console]
cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /tmp/recording.ts
[in a second console, will dump the MPEG transport stream to /tmp/recording.ts]
How to automate running of sh file for making dvb directory in startup:
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCANNING FOR CHANNELS BY SCAN UTIL
scan util: scans satellite transponders and make a list of their channels (I made channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird by this util).
for example we want to scan transponder 10949000kHz on Hotbird with this util first I should make a file like its template in "scan/Hotbird-13.0E":
# EUTELSAT SkyPlex, Hotbird 13E
# freq pol sr fec
S 12539000 H 27500000 3/4
I only add the following code to the end of this file
S 10949000 V 27500000 3/4
and save the file.
Hint: this file format is like below
S 10949000 V 27500000 3/4
S Frequency H/V SR(Symbol Rate) FEC
Hint: you can use www.satcodx.com to find information about channels and their transponder frequency.
now type the following command :
./scan dvb-s/ Hotbird-13.0E>channels.conf
Note:If you are using a DISEQc you should use "-s NUMBER" (in the following example HotBird is located in my Second DISEQc Number)
./scan -s 1 dvb-s/ Hotbird-13.0E>channels.conf
and will get a beautiful channel information file (channels.conf)
Some of the programs like Xine player use this file to play satellite streams (you should copy this file in : "~/.xine" directory with the name channels.conf)

Ok - here a complete HOWTO to "aktivate" the SkyStar 2 DVB board under Fedora Core 2:
Installation SkyStar II under Fedora Core 2
Prerequisites:
Fedora Core 2 with Kernel 2.6.3-1.358.
Please use the root account to work through the following steps.
To load the card drivers automatically insert the following lines into your /etc/modprobe.conf file:
alias skystar skystar2
alias frontend stv0299
Currently Fedora Core 2 does not create the devices under /dev/dvb automatically. Thus execute the following ShellScript, which is part of the DVB Driver Package from http://www.linuxtv.org/ :
#!/bin/sh
# Create device nodes for the Linux DVB API with DVB_API_VERSION 2.
# The devices created are suitable for most current PC DVB cards,
# i.e. cards having one frontend, one demux and optionally one
# MPEG decoder.
# The script creates devices for four cards by default.
if [ -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then
echo "It seems you are using devfs. Good!"
exit 0
fi
# get rid of old DVB API devices; do it twice for good measure...
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/dvb
rm -rf /dev/dvb
mkdir /dev/dvb
chmod 755 /dev/dvb
for i in `seq 0 3`; do
echo "Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter$i"
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter$i
chmod 755 /dev/dvb/adapter$i
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/video0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 0`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/audio0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 1`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/frontend0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 3`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/demux0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 4`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/dvr0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 5`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/ca0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 6`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/net0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 7`
mknod -m 0660 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/osd0 c 250 `expr 64 \* $i + 8`
chown root.video /dev/dvb/adapter$i/*
done
Use User and Groups from the System settings menu of the Red Hat Menu, to create a group named "video". Add all users who should have access to the DVB-card to this group.
Insert the following lines to /etc/rc.local
modprobe skystar and
modprobe frontend
The dmesg command should print the following lines:
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopII(rev.130) chip found
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 6 hardware filters
DVB: registering new adapter (Technisat SkyStar2 driver).
probe_tuner: try to attach to Technisat SkyStar2 driver
drivers/media/dvb/frontends/stv0299.c: setup for tuner Samsung TBMU24112IMB
DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (STV0299/TSA5059/SL1935 based)...
In the case that stv0299 could not bound a different frontend will be needed. Use alias frontend mt312 in modprobe.conf in this case.
That's it.
Good luck
Tom.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me the mt312 works. (Older Skytar2 from EOL)
After that, dmesg prints the following lines + more ...
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopII(rev.130) chip found
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 6 hardware filters
driver_initialize MAC address = ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:00
DVB: registering new adapter (Technisat SkyStar2 driver).
DVB: registering frontend 0:0 (Zarlink MT312)...
Download from linuxTV the linuxtv-dvb-apps-x.x.x, uncompress and make.
in there is a util/szap dir with a README and some conf files.
For DVB-S, Astra Channel config file:
$ ./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-astra n24
will tune to N24. if you get FE_HAS_LOCK messages, then the Card is installed.
Copy the channels.conf-dvbs-astra to the hidden ./xine directory in your user's home directory and rename it to channels.conf
If i start Xine i get sound but no video.
$ xine -V xshm dvb://25
fixes that problem, you should get video and audio and see Pro7.
Xine should keep that "xshm" thing in his config file.
Don't forget to turn DeInterlaceing on.
By: Michael Lopez (the_one2003a)
Some Checks First:
First you should be sure that your current Kernel version supports SkyStar2 DVB card (by default 2.6.x supports just for sake of being sure) :
type the command:
dmesg
and now look for :
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopII(rev.130) chip found
drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 6 hardware filters
DVB: registering new adapter (Technisat SkyStar2 driver).
type the command:
lsmod
and now look for :
skystar2 and some module names like that
---------------------------------------
if you couldn't find them, just get the new kernel version from www.kernel.org and "recompile/if RPM install it" your kernel"
if you are going to recompile your kernel be sure to check that in Digital Broadcasting option the B2C2 is checked as module (by default it is but check to become sure). and follow the compiling instructions from the README file.
if you are sure you have B2C2 support in your kernel version but have some problems in its loading just see the ending section of this tutorial (Laking and TomS2 post)
START Here:
Just execute the following .sh file :
with the command:
sh filename.sh
Just for security reasons Use User and Groups from the System settings menu of the Fedora Core 3 Menu, to create a group named "video". Add all users who should have access to the DVB-card to this group or you can skip it (you will only get some errors in the next step the you can ignore it)
#!/bin/sh
# Create device nodes for the Linux DVB API with DVB_API_VERSION 2.
# The devices created are suitable for most current PC DVB cards,
# i.e. cards having one frontend, one demux and optionally one
# MPEG decoder.
# The script creates devices for four cards by default.
if [ -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then
echo "It seems you are using devfs. Good!"
exit 0

# get rid of old DVB API devices; do it twice for good measure...

mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/osd0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 8`
chown root.video /dev/dvb/adapter$i/*
done
now you should have a directory with the name "dvb" in your /dev/ directory and "adaptor0,adaptor1,adaptor2,adaptor3" and each of them contain the following:
audio0
ca0
demux0
dvr0
frontend0
net0
osd0
video0
now it is time to test if your dvb card is working or not so:
get the linux-dvb-apps from www.linuxtv.org or the following url:
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/li....0.tar.bz2(this is the newest version in time of writing this stuff)
now just open it and make them
with the command:
make
In here I will explain how to work with "szap" and "scan" utils:
with szap you can tune your DVB card to a specific frequency make sure if your driver works or not.
a basic usage of it is like below:
./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-astra n24
-c switch tells the szap to read the channels information from a file (in here channels.conf-dvbs-astra)
and "n24" is the name of the channel for tuning.
now if you can't receive this satellite signals save below information to a file with the name channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird:

NOTE:if you are using a DISEQc change the zero (0) number after 10949:v:0 to the number of your HotBird DISEQc number starting from zero. so if my Hotbird be configured on my second number of DISEQc I should change it to 1.
Mediatel:10949:v:1:27500:5001:5011:7401
Hint: this is how the channels-information (channels.conf-dvbs-astra) file format should be:
Mediatel:10949:v:0:27500:5001:5011:7401
channel name:frequency:h/vISEQc # :symbol rate:vpid:apid:sid
the command looks like:
./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird Mediatel
if you received something like this(pay attention to FE_HAS_LOCK):
status 03 | signal b05c | snr 72d5 | ber 0000fff0 | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal b890 | snr ada6 | ber 000021a5 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK

How to automate running of sh file for making dvb directory in startup:
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCANNING FOR CHANNELS BY SCAN UTIL
scan util: scans satellite transponders and make a list of their channels (I made channels.conf-dvbs-Hotbird by this util).
for example we want to scan transponder 10949000kHz on Hotbird with this util first I should make a file like its template in "scan/Hotbird-13.0E":
# EUTELSAT SkyPlex, Hotbird 13E
# freq pol sr fec
S 12539000 H 27500000 3/4
I only add the following code to the end of this file
S 10949000 V 27500000 3/4
and save the file.
Hint: this file format is like below
S 10949000 V 27500000 3/4
S Frequency H/V SR(Symbol Rate) FEC
Hint: you can use www.satcodx.com to find information about channels and their transponder frequency.
now type the following command :
./scan dvb-s/ Hotbird-13.0E>channels.conf
Note:If you are using a DISEQc you should use "-s NUMBER" (in the following example HotBird is located in my Second DISEQc Number)
./scan -s 1 dvb-s/ Hotbird-13.0E>channels.conf
and will get a beautiful channel information file (channels.conf)
Some of the programs like Xine player use this file to play satellite streams (you should copy this file in : "~/.xine" directory with the name channels.conf)

Use User and Groups from the System settings menu of the Red Hat Menu, to create a group named "video". Add all users who should have access to the DVB-card to this group.
Insert the following lines to /etc/rc.local
modprobe skystar and

In the case that stv0299 could not bound a different frontend will be needed. Use alias frontend mt312 in modprobe.conf in this case.
That's it.
Good luck

Download from linuxTV the linuxtv-dvb-apps-x.x.x, uncompress and make.
in there is a util/szap dir with a README and some conf files.
For DVB-S, Astra Channel config file:
$ ./szap -c channels.conf-dvbs-astra n24
will tune to N24. if you get FE_HAS_LOCK messages, then the Card is installed.
Copy the channels.conf-dvbs-astra to the hidden ./xine directory in your user's home directory and rename it to channels.conf
If i start Xine i get sound but no video.
$ xine -V xshm dvb://25
fixes that problem, you should get video and audio and see Pro7.
Xine should keep that "xshm" thing in his config file.
Don't forget to turn DeInterlaceing on.
