Thank you Sergio, I'll try to test with other sw - I haven't done it so far due to the "logistics" of it (I can't do it on the "PC" where the TBS8921 is installed, it's a stripped down no-gui, no display, debian on a 1GB flashdisk). I had the hopes there was just something missin...

Hi, I'm using a TBS8921 on a dish pointing system (no TV watching, just measuring level and snr). The board is installed on a mini-ITX x86 board running linux debian 6.0 (squeeze), 2.6.32-5 kernel. I have compiled and installed the linux-tbs-drivers from tbs-linux-drivers_v120424.zip. Although I don...

Ok, so I assumed cx88-dvb was the module to load, but maybe it isn't (the cx88-dvb.ko is not built with the tbs drivers; the one I have came with my kernel image .deb). I tried then cx88-dvb-core, which gave me a different error (but did not "disagrees" about versions). FATAL: Error insert...

I also tried copying
linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/Module.symvers
to
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build/Module.symvers
as they were different even after "make install"

Hello, I'm trying to use a TBS8921 receiver for the automatic peak search feature of a dish pointer system (all I need are measurements for rssi when not locked and rssi + quality when locked; no actual video receiving). The board is installed on a mini-ITX x86 board running linux debian 6.0 (squeez...

That's great news, and the timing could not be better. I'll keep an eye on the TBS website!

Thank you again!

Joao

It seems the TBS-8921 is not available yet. Is there a forecast for its release?

A TBS-8920 + right angle PCI riser would do, but if it's going to be replaced by the 8921 soon, we could wait.

Thanks again,

Thank you for your responses! I'll have to use PCI then - the the mini-itx board I intended to use which has mini-PCIe is currently unavailable from the mfg, so I turned to one with PCI only. We'll puchase a TBS-8921 for the prototype (it looks like the 8920 is taller, and I only have 2 rack units ~...

Hello TBS guys, We're developing an automatic satellite dish pointer controller (for Satellite News Gathering vehicles and other applications), and it will be based on a mini-itx Atom motherboard running debian. I'm looking for options for measuring the received signal strength and quality for the a...
