Hi All,

I have a TBS 6205 which works great in Windows, I however need it to work in Linux. The main issue is I need to get it to scan using appendix c. In the past I have been able to by using the dvb-fe-tool but for some reason this has stopped working for me. I have gone as far as completley reinstalling my distro. The output I get when I run

uname -a is as follows:

Code: Select all

Linux d2g 4.4.0-53-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 2 15:59:10 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


dmesg | grep frontend is as follows:

Any help would be appreciated.

What software used for scan ? I see you try set incorrect symbol rate (must be in symbols, not ks).
