+How to set up the Technisat/B2C2 Flexcop devices
+================================================
+
+.. note::
+
+ This documentation is outdated.
+
+Author: Uwe Bugla <uwe.bugla@gmx.de> August 2009
+
+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:
+
+.. 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)...
+
+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).
