[ViX_Misc] Installation of driver DVB-USB-SIANO fails

[Eragon]

Hi, I need to install from VIX plugins the driver dvb-usb-siano which I think is needed to make my DVB-T stick Hauppauge WinTV-MiniStick (model No. 120009) be recognized.
Hauppauge Linux drivers: http://www.hauppauge.de/site/support/support_faq.php?n=FAQ.Linux

I'm trying to install that driver because in images other than Vix this driver lets my DVB-T stick work properly.

The installation fails with the error message that it can't satisfy the following dependencies:
- kernel-module-smsdvb
- kernel-module-smsusb

How and where I tested:
I've tested with 3 different boxes: Duo2, Solo and Cloud-Ibox 3, always same error.
I've tested with all Helios images and now with Apollo 003.

Any help or suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

I cant help with the drivers but I will remind you that this forum does not provide support for cloned receivers so less talk of cloud-i boxes please.

Thank you very much for the answer, the problem is mainly affecting my Vu+ Duo2 and Vu+ Solo, so I'm going to only speak about these two boxes.

AFAIK the cause of the problem is in the Vix image itself which is probably missing some references and/or modules.
In my test I found that some other images are already able to load the siano driver and are compatible with the Hauppauge WinTV-MiniStick.

Maybe this might be useful:

I've installed Apollo 008 but the dvb-usb-siano driver installation still fails with the same message errors.

Can you post a screenshot of the information page for your receiver.

Update

I have had the possibility with OpenVix Apollo 33 to test the same USB tuner requiring Siano drivers and I can confirm that now the drivers correctly download and install.
Then the USB tuner works correctly.
The only problem left is that there are no signal level values available to check.

Many thanks!
