Hello,

IFirst thing, i'm a newbie on linux.

I bought a tbs 6281 pcie card for my htpc

I tried many times to install it but nothing works.

Here is the code I used to install it :

Code: Select All Code
mkdir driver
cd driver
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v140819.zip
unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v140819.zip
tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
cd linux-tbs-drivers
sudo ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh
sudo make && sudo make install
sudo shutdown -r now


I found this code on web.

The code never returns errors, but nothing change.

Please, helpe me.

Thanks

Jim

TBS doesn't provide tuner drivers for arm. I think you are out of luck.
The only option is to use opensource drivers: https://github.com/ljalves/linux_media/wiki
Didn't test them yet.

Why are you then writing under section for ARM base computer Matrix ARM mini PC (TBS2910)?

Without further infos no one can help you. And my crystal ball is broken.

You got any errors when compiling the driver?
