+How to set up the Technisat/B2C2 Flexcop devices
+================================================
+
+1) 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)...
+
+2) 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).
+
+Then please activate:
+2a) Main module part:
+"Multimedia support" => "DVB/ATSC adapters"
+ => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters"
+
+a.) => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC PCI" (PCI card) or
+b.) => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC USB" (USB 1.1 adapter)
+ and for troubleshooting purposes:
+c.) => "Enable debug for the B2C2 FlexCop drivers"
+
+2b) Frontend / Tuner / Demodulator module part:
+"Multimedia support" => "DVB/ATSC adapters"
+ => "Customise the frontend modules to build" "Customise DVB frontends" =>
