Having made a clean install of Mageia 3, I ran through the requirements for installing the tbs-6280 drivers:

1) Ensured the kernel headers / source were installed.
2) uname -a returned 3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3
3) from linux-tbs-drivers:
a) ran # rm -rf /lib/modules/3.8.13-desktop-1.mga3/kernel/drivers/media/
b) then: # ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh, Noted positive response.
c) ran: make
d) ran: make install
e) ren: shutdown -r now

On return, the TV card failed to show up in demsg and the drivers failed to appear in lsmod.

What could be causing this?

before doing make do a sudo make menuconfig and confirm that the modules your interested in are selected.

did you see any error's during the entire process?

Without doing anything new other than having powered off completely for 24 hours, everything showed up and I have TV!
I must remember that this has been a solution to similar problems in the past.
Sorry for troubling you.
