Hello, I've been trying for several days to make my TBS5925 and TBS5220 USB cards working on Ubuntu 16.04, but with no success. Both cards are working fine on Windows 10 on the same PC. On Ubuntu, I have installed TBS closed drivers with success following standard process (make, make install success...

Hello,

Do you know if there is any chance to have the FE_GET_PROPERTY returning real tuner information with a TBS6983 card ?

Problems are: first diseqc change is OK, sec...

Hello there. Just purchased the 6925 card. Tested it on Windows and Linux. Card performance and reception stability seem excellent, especially on Linux (some blue screens still appear on Windows sometimes, but this is not my concern today). But I have one blocking issue. My satellite dish config is:...
