I am a newbie to ubuntu and I am trying to fix this along time ago now.
I am running 14.4 lts distro.

I tried to install all kinds of software that plays dvb card Azure wave Mantis
but it keep saying i don't have one.

after executing the command sudo lshw I got this output :

...

  • to find a driver for your card, consult linuxtv.org, it is the reference for TV on LINUX

Having a look on LinuxTV site, I've found that:
Note that I do not have a DVB-S card and that I ve not tested these 2 solutions below

For a DVB-S PCI Cards

From this source on linuxtv.org about DVB-S PCI Cards

A linux driver which can be downloaded for the Mantis family from the Twinhan website (AZLinux_v1.4.2_CI_FC6). The mantis_vp1034 only has precompiled module binaries that are only suitable for the first FC6 kernel.

Other drivers are available from http://jusst.de/manu/mantis-v4l-dvb.tar.bz2

v4l-dvb v5 (s2api) drivers are avaliable from the mercurial repository at http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin

For a Azurewave AD SP400 CI

(reading all your different questions, I suppose it is the card you have):

From this source on linuxtv.org about this card,
- No firmware required.
- Follow this to install the Driver:

sudo apt-get install mercurial
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

then 

cd v4l-dvb/v4l
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

if compiling fails because of FiredTV just run:

sudo make menuconfig

before the make command and disable -> Multimedia Support -> DVB/ATSC Adapter -> Firedtv/Floppydtv

Alternatively, try this driver:

sudo apt-get install mercurial
hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis-v4l
ln -s mantis-v4l s2   [the scan-s2 and szap-s2 Makefiles expect this]
cd mantis-v4l
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

  • hg clone jusst.de/hg/mantis-v4l doesn't work

  • @AmrZenga can you confirm that your card is a Azurewave AD SP400 CI ? Page from LinuxTv is from 2010, might be too old to work now. I ll check if I found something more recent ...

Unclaimed means there isn't a driver attached for that module and it will not work until one is installed.

I don't have that specific hardware, however, some useful results turned up here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1539309.html
