Hi jaarsa

Is your model the v3.

This is the version that's giving problems.

You can check the version by removing the 4 screws under the rubber pads then check version number on. Board.

Thanks

Support for Geniatech HDStar v3 tuner is broken in mainline Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi distros. Below you will find links for a kernel patch and binary modules for this device.
binary modules
patch
To install the modules, untar them in root directory:
cd / && untar /path/to/geniatech_hdstar_modules.tar.gz

(quoted from oplc forum)

don´t know if it solves anything, i was thinking to purchase one just tu see if i could use it, but i think this is too hard for me. The thing is that that geniatech is very cheap, wich is really good.

Hope the links help... if someone can use it i would be very aprecciated if you teach me how to configure this.

Hopefully I wont get in too much trouble for resurrecting an old thread, but it seems a waste to create a new one.

For anyone with an HDStar v3 I found the following fork of the V4L drivers has the patch applied and made my HDStar v3 work in Ubuntu with Tvheadend.
