Install your kernel build files for your distribution. In Ubuntu it's

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-`uname -r`

I wouldn't say its a TBS problem at all. Motherboard manufacturers are supporting PCIe 1.0 is not a TBS issue, its a motherboard manufacturer issue. TBS has basically given up on motherboard manufacturers and developed their own PCIe bridge to resolve an issue not with them at all. I think that pret...

The 6983 is an incredible card, I'm very impressed. It is pcie though, which is exactly what some users want, but others need USB and in that case I'd recommend the 5925 if it's the advanced features you need.

You can use my open source drivers to do so. TBS could maybe change it to, it's a simple setting

4 inputs, 8 tuners means every input is shared by two rivers. So those two tuners must tune the same satellite/polarity.

If you are

You're compiling two very different kernel modules and installing them in the same kernel, if they work I would guess that its a complete fluke. I wouldnt count on it. The problem is each card has its own drivers yes, but they both talk to the same subsystem, if there are any changes at all in that ...

Linux drivers dont work this way. Kernel modules are built for a specific version of the kernel. When the linux kernel changes something, old drivers will need to either be recompiled or in some cases the source code edited to reflect the new changes in a kernel. This is what youve come across. Its ...

You should be using the latest. Sounds like the issue is you don't have the kernel headers installed

line 4531 of saa716x_tbs.c is calling tbs6290fe_attch directly, it should be calling dvb_attach(tbs6920fe_attach, .... TBS does this in quite a few places actually, I dont have one of these cards so Id rather not submit a patch. You are more then welcome to try it out though. I also dont have access...

Sounds more like a ui issue if they show up in dmesg. I have 18 tuners in my Linux box no problem
