Hi. I bought two 6902 cards to expand the tunercount in the tvserver. I had a 6981 working prior to installing the new cards. After installing the opensourcedrivers the 6981 tuners dissapeared but the 6902 do work fine. I followed the installationguide here: https://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.ph...

I think i am ready to give up. I tried it two times now. running ./build --main-git did indeed create the media directory under media_build and your excellent guide makes much more sense. I removed the whole media_build directory both times and ending up with the same result below. This is the exact...

Hi! Sorry to bother you again..

I dumped them in media_build/linux/ and tried to: make install but it doesn´t help either... I really think my lack of linux-skills is preventing this to work.. I reall...

Hi Lawrence! I am sorry to say it did not work for me. I followed your instructions and did not receive any errors but after reboot tvheadend did not start and dmesg outputs the below. I can see that i now indeed have 5 adapters in /dev/dvb which i didn´t have before. :) Do you have any idéas? [ 11....

Thank you very much!
i´ll give that a shot.

Hi there! I received the cards yesterday and they work great what i can see so far. But... I have a DVB-T adapter installed as well wich dissapeared after the install of the tbs 6981 drivers. I´m not so very familiar with linux drivers, but i suspect the drivers dissapear because of the tbs v4l driv...
