If anyone is still looking for such a script I found one here the other day:

Do take note of the caveats in the article.

For anyone else that finds this thread, the solution was to create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf as updatelee said, and then in my case I edited it to contain this single line: options tbs_pcie-dvb adapter_nr=6,7,8,9 This made the four tuners in the 6905 appear as adapters 6, 7, 8, and 9. I...

For anyone else experiencing this issue, I'm now testing the following fix in TVHeadEnd, setting a "Skip Initial Bytes" value for each TBS 6905 tuner. Don't know yet if it's the ultimate solution, but might be worth a try (see attached image file). The 18800000 setting is a bit arbitrary; ...

Hi. Haven't heard anything since my last post and this problem still exists so was wondering if you are going to try and do any kind of fix in the drivers? For what it's worth, I upgraded TVHeadEnd today and that didn't help - still got a bad recording tonight, and using dd to chop off the first 1M ...

cody: I had two bad recordings today, both one hour long programs. When I tried to run the command you gave (substituting actual filenames) it gave me this error: dd: invalid number `188*8*1024' I'm not all that proficient in Linux so I typed "dd --help" and learned that the bs value sets ...

Thanks for your help. I've never used anything but TS. All of my Recording - DVR profiles are set to use the PASS stream profile, which I am told pretty much copies the stream directly to the storage device, and the resulting recordings all have the .ts extension. I will try the test you mentioned n...

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a system that contains a TBS6985, a TBS6991SE, and a newly-added TBS6905 to give me ten tuners in all. The older tuners were working fine in TVHeadEnd and still do, however the TBS6905 seems to give intermittent timing errors on recordings. For example, toni...

Hi, Steven,

Did what you suggested today and it worked like a charm. Now all the TBS cards are shown as "IR-PCI-MSI-edge". Thanks much!

=== create text file "/etc/modprobe.d/tbs.conf" with line: options tbs_pcie-dvb tbs_int_type=1 options saa716x_tbs-dvb int_type=1 after reboot, check with "cat /proc/interrupts" that it reports MSI for TBS PCIE. === Thank you, steven. I will give that a try this weekend. I am a ...

create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf now find out what modules each device uses, here is an example of the TBS 5980 options dvb-usb-tbsqbox2ci adapter_nr=10 now my 5980 will always take adapter number 10 UDL Thank you UDL, but there are two things I don't understand. First, how do you dete...
