I use a program called 'meld' it's a graphical version of diff. You can do to way or even 3 way compares of entire folders. Download the TBS driver tree then download the v4l media tree. Meld will make it easy to spot the differences

As soon as you make any changes to core files all the modules that use that file must be recompiled. If you only installed the TBS drivers (you can do this manually) you'd find that they wouldn't work until you copied over the dvb-core modules as well. But now you'd find that every single other driv...

I sympathize with TBS. It's not easy to get the v4l guys to accept code changes. It's much easier to just release your own git repo. Just look at the attempts to get the saa716x driver included in mainline. People have been trying since 2009! And it's still not in there. It's crazy. I personally tri...

signal level and snr as a % was a horrible idea by the original linux driver developers. What does it mean? not much is the answer. SNR is signal to noise ratio expressed in dB not % 10%, 50%, 90%, means nothing, definitely not comparable from device to device, or transponder to transponder. In summ...

Install your kernel build files for your distribution. In Ubuntu it's

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-`uname -r`

I wouldn't say its a TBS problem at all. Motherboard manufacturers are supporting PCIe 1.0 is not a TBS issue, its a motherboard manufacturer issue. TBS has basically given up on motherboard manufacturers and developed their own PCIe bridge to resolve an issue not with them at all. I think that pret...

The 6983 is an incredible card, I'm very impressed. It is pcie though, which is exactly what some users want, but others need USB and in that case I'd recommend the 5925 if it's the advanced features you need.

You can use my open source drivers to do so. TBS could maybe change it to, it's a simple setting

4 inputs, 8 tuners means every input is shared by two rivers. So those two tuners must tune the same satellite/polarity.

If you are

You're compiling two very different kernel modules and installing them in the same kernel, if they work I would guess that its a complete fluke. I wouldnt count on it. The problem is each card has its own drivers yes, but they both talk to the same subsystem, if there are any changes at all in that ...
