TBSDTV Community Forum

Hi,

I'm using TBS6284 DVB-T(2) tuner on my computer and I also have another DVB-T/C tuner (Digital Devices DuoFlex C&T DVB-T/C) installed. Both of them need customized kernel modules to be compiled (DuoFlex driver is based on customized version of v4l branch like TBSDTV driver). Is it possible to get both of these devices work at the same time? (I'm also interesed in about hard ways to get things work if there's no easy way to achieve this)

I've tried to execute "make install" first for TBSDTV driver and then for DuoFlex's driver. In that case DuoFlex works but not TBS6284. When I try to load saa716x_tbs_dvb module it just gives "invalid argument" error. When I execute "make install" first for DuoFlex driver and then for TBS6284: TBS6284 works but loading of ddbridge module (DuoFlex) doesn't work (DVB device doesn't appear under /dev/).

Here are the instructions how to get DuoFlex C&T tuner work on Linux (it's using patched version of ddbridge module):

The tbs drivers replace all your v4l drivers. There is no other way todo it.

Make sure your card is enabled in the tbs drivers. If it's not working because the tree tbs uses doesn't support your card then there really isn't any other way other then pouring that driver over to the tbs driver tree

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

BTW: Is TBS using the most recent tree of v4l (stable or dev?) or what is the version of current tbs driver tree?

Kind Regards,
