I have an existing PC with two PCIe cards: TBS6280 Dual DVB-T2 TBS6981 Dual DVB-S2 that has been working fine with Mythbuntu 14.04 and the proprietary TBS drivers. Now I have a fresh install of Xubuntu 18.04.3 amd64 on this machine (with all the Ubuntu updates) but I cannot get both of the cards to ...

OK, so I gained access to the DiSEqC switch and swapped the cables on inputs 1 and 3. Getting a signal lock with szap-s2 remains ok on inputs 1 and 2 and remains intermittent on inputs 3 and 4. I can't find any technical information on the switch, but presumably it's doing the switching with 13V/18V...

Just an update... I tried switching the satellite cable to the card's other input and repeated the scan-s2 / szap-s2 tests with /dev/dvb/adapter1 (instead of /dev/dvb/adapter0 I used before) and the behaviour is the same - intermittent switching/locking. I am not an expert, I can only guess that may...

I also include the output of szap-s2 for 3 attempts where the 2nd attempt fails to get a lock: >>> Sky News Intl zapping to 2 'Sky News Intl': delivery DVB-S, modulation QPSK sat 3, frequency 12603 MHz H, symbolrate 22000000, coderate auto, rolloff 0.35 vpid 0x050a, apid 0x08f2, sid 0x1c7a openening...

So here is just after the "openening pat demux failed" error: $ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0 total 0 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 1 May 17 15:51 demux0 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 2 May 17 15:51 dvr0 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 0 May 17 15:51 frontend0 crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 3 May 1...

Thanks, I found channels on 3 satellites all DVB-S, FEC 5/6, QPSK and tried that: $ ./szap-s2 -p -H -r -a 0 -c ~/zapfile.conf -i reading channels from file '/home/nick/zapfile.conf' >>> TELE5 zapping to 1 'TELE5': delivery DVB-S, modulation QPSK sat 1, frequency 10796 MHz V, symbolrate 27500000, cod...

Hi, I'm testing with scan-s2 and szap-s2 as described in the README_TBS6981, but I'm getting problems which I think are something to do with DiSEqC switching. Firstly, it seems that the scan-s2 default output format (VDR) doesn't include the DiSEqC switch position (and szap-s2 has no option to speci...

Hi, Just to confirm successful installations of: ⋅ tbs-linux-drivers_v120424 on kernel 3.2.0_23 ⋅ tbs-linux-drivers_v120503 on kernel 3.2.0_24 The underlying system is a clean install of Mythbuntu 12.04 64-bit. Because I'm logged in as me and not root, the only things I needed to...
