Maximum amount of /dev/dvb devices in MOI+
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2015 4:44 pm
Hello,
I'm into little experiment here (I hope things like this are not mentioned in Geneva convention):
Long story short - I connected PCIe splitter to MOI+ and plugged 3 different TBS DVB-S2 cards in it: 6991, 6991SE and 6985, totaling at 8 logical adapters.
All 8 of them show up during startup both on LCD:
and in dmesg:
But in /dev/dvb there are only 4 adapters, no matter whether I put 2 or all 3 cards in:
The strangest moment is that UI is stuck on 6 adapters (I booted up with only 6991SE and 6985 at first):
What I'm interested in:
Is 4 adapter limit somehow hard-coded intentionally for MOI+ or there is a way of removing this limitation?
If it is hard-coded, what is this limit for MOI Pro? 8 adapters?
