Hallo,

I've problems to get DVB-C work on my system.

1. The driver for TBS5220 at tbsdtv.com compiles with error "No rule to make target .... tbs8921ctrl.o"
2. My seller gave me this link http://support.tbs-technology.de/downloads/

This is the same driver from 09 Sep 2013, but with a setup script and DVB-C is supposedly activated / supported.

The driver compiles and DVB-T works, but DVB-C not.

It seems like there is only DVB-T mode enabled? How can I make this work?

Thank you for help :mrgreen:

hello,

from read me I read the following

in case you want to use 5220 for DVBC then before step I.4 (and after I.3) from the
steps in II. run:

- for x86 kernel 3.x (x86 32 bit installations of kernel 3.x):
[...]

Did you done that step?

by **florian** » Thu Oct 03, 2013 8:40 pm

this is what I did:

extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 (with Ark under KDE)
copy the firmware files to /lib/firmware
execute ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh (commandline)
execute ./v4l/tbs-dvb-c.x86_64.sh (commandline)
make -> here comes the error "No rule to make target .... tbs8921ctrl.o" (commandline)

all commands as root

---------------------------------------------

this is what I did yesterday:

download the driver package again
remove the old tbs-driver directory

extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 (commandline with tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 - this was different)
execute ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
execute ./v4l/tbs-dvb-c.x86_64.sh
make (no errors)
make install

and it works

maybe there is a problem with Ark?

The drivers from tbs-technology.de didn't work with DVB-C. The Script don't execute tbs-dvb-c.x86_64.sh.
Thanke you that was the problem with this driver

But now I do have another "problem". When I compile the dvb-c driver, the dvb-t mode is not available. Is this supposed to happen? Is a dual mode planned?

by **stilmant** » Thu Oct 03, 2013 10:25 pm

Would like to know that too.

by **bolzerrr** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 4:47 am

HI,

can you please tell me what driver exactly you took (link)?
I think i have a similar problem. When i try a to tune nothing happens.
I compiled successfully (debian linux)

ignore the

"No rule to make target .... tbs8921ctrl.o"
and
"WARNING: could not find /usr/local/src/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/.tbs8921ctrl.o.cmd"

warnings, they arent errors. The kernel is just confused because its used to compiling source code, those files are precompiled by TBS so there is no source code. Its not an issue.

As to why DVB-C isnt working and DVB-T is I havent a clue, I live in NA and those formats are not used here so I dont have a card supporting either.

Hi, please, post here or send me to our support emails your channels.conf file.

also, can you lock DVB-T/T2 signal - that just to rule out your 5220 stick is operational and not faulty?

by **bolzerrr** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 9:18 pm

Hi,

i took this channels.conf wich fits my region:
http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/C ... UnityMedia

Annd made a test file:

I compile currently the dvb-t driver, test will follow

I finally got it working. Important:

- Stick cannot run on a USB3 Port (gives a wrong IRQ assignments message in dmesg)
- I Have to restart the udev service. Found this hint here http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB_via_USB#Firmware

Maybe it will help others.
