I've been digging into szap code to figure out exactly how it interacts with the kernel, but it's very slow going.
This is still something I need to get done.
Any advice? Anyone?

Hey guys. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert on DVB, or satellite technology in general, but I've been assigned to figure out how to get a TBS5925 to work with a linux box at work. All we're really using it for is for auto-pointing satellite dishes, so we don't really need to have a video or audio str...

support up to 4.6. remove kernel media-drivers: sudo rm -r -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media sudo rm -r -f /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/media and instell again This appears to have worked on the kernel that comes with Debian 8 (3.16.0-4) without having to compile a...

When compiling a vanilla kernel from kernel.org, are there any extra options I would need to set in menuconfig to allow this driver to work?
Or maybe options I would need to unset, so that other drivers aren't interfering with it?
What kernels does the v160630 driver support?

I do see something interesting in dmesg now that you mention it. First few lines look ok. Then a bunch of errors. Last 2 lines look fine too - pretty sure that's just a flag getting set so kernel developers can say that if something is broken, it's not their problem. What do the errors mean? [ 2.429...

This is what I did: Install Debian 8 Install build-essential (gcc, etc) Install linux-headers-$(uname -r) (kernel headers) Download tbs-linux-drivers_v160630.zip Extract it Create /lib/firmware (the folder doesn't exist on debian 8 by default) Copy dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5925.fw to /lib/firmware extract ...

I am trying to get a TBS 5925 device working on Linux on Debian 8. This probably doesn't matter, but I do NOT need TV working - I just need to be able to tell if I'm locked onto a particular satellite.
