i'm in the process of upgrading my home server from centos7 with an elrepo 5.4.6 kernel and working 6981 card. I've used 4.x kernels in the past without issue on centos7 too. when i upgrade to centos8 (stream release), which ships with a 4.18.0 kernel, i see the card present in 'dmesg | grep dvb', s...

I've recently bought a PCTV 292e DVB-T2 usb tuner and am unable to get it working on my system. FYI, the 292e is natively supported in >=3.16 kernels, using em28xx module. Asking on the Mythtv mailing list, it seems that I'm not the only one with this problem, and as of yet have not found a solution...

for what it's worth; same issue here.
3.7.10-1.1 (opensuse 12.3)

glad to see i'm not the only person having issues so i'll need to find another kernel somehow!!

i have another tuner; af9013, which requires a very new v4l release. if i install v4l from git, reboot, install TBS drivers, reboot, i see no TBS card being loaded when 'dmesg |grep cx23'. (its asif i havent installed the drivers at all) if i remove v4l git release, and re-compile the TBS drivers, t...

is it possible (or is anything available) that will allow me to use my 6981 card with a CI module to get subscription/FTV TV? from what i can find, the CI module has to be supported by the tuner card (either built-in or header connector), and i cant use any tuner card, with a seperate USB CI module....

justs o you know, TBS support have determined that my card is faulty, so I'm going through RMA with the reseller.

interesting, i too am using 11.04 x64 and latest drivers (111017) and have the same issue - just it's on adaptor1. (i am using the 6891 card though) cabling is fine - i've swapped coax feeds, and i get a perfect signal on adaptor0 regardless of which coax cable im using. i'm just recompiling the dri...

i've also found out it's the same as a standard 6pin PCI-E connector as per any newer PSU.
ie: it's the same connector as all graphics cards that use the 6pin power connector.

since i've see a few posts asking for this info, but no-one has been able to help, i've measured power draw at the wall, and heres my findings. hardware is an Intel core2duo E6550 (65w TDP), Asus 210 (nvidia) passive GPU, TBS 6981, and Hauppauge HVR1100. all are half height cards. MythTV 0.24.1 (myt...

i dont seem to be able to find the answer here - does anyone know the 6981's power consumption... be it at the wall, or the card itself?
