I found a small cosmetic issue in the new open source driver, when I check my registered frontends.
In addition to my new TBS-6205 for DVB-T2 I used one TBS-8922 and one TBS-6981 for DVB-S2.
All 3 DVB cards work fine, but if I look at linux console wich frontends are available I get not the right description for my old cards (TBS-8922 and TBS-6981). Only the description for the new TBS-6205 are correct.
For example what I mean, here is the output when I put
dmesg | grep "registering frontends" in a console with the "old closed source" driver:
DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 8922 DVBS/S2 frontend)...
DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6981 DVBS/S2 frontend)...
DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6981 DVBS/S2 frontend)...
DVB: registering adapter 3 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVBT/T2 frontend)...
DVB: registering adapter 4 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVBT/T2 frontend)...
DVB: registering adapter 5 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVBT/T2 frontend)...
DVB: registering adapter 6 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVBT/T2 frontend)...
The same with the new open source driver will get the following output:
DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Tmax TAS2101)...
DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (Conexant CX24117/CX24132)...
DVB: registering adapter 2 frontend 0 (Conexant CX24117/CX24132)...
DVB: registering adapter 3 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVB-T/T2/C )...
DVB: registering adapter 4 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVB-T/T2/C )...
DVB: registering adapter 5 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVB-T/T2/C )...
DVB: registering adapter 6 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6205 DVB-T/T2/C )...
You see that I get in place of "TBS 8922" the name of the used IC "TAS2101" and the "TBS 6981" will shown as "CX24117/CX24132".
It's not an important issue, but it will be a "nice to have" if we get the right output with the new open source driver!
