Confusing mode documentation

Hi!

I'm very confussed about selecting modes in TBS6909, i'm under Ubuntu 16

I have two TBS6909 cards on my server, and both always work multiswitch mode. I want to make both work on normal mode. (each imput controls two tunners)

I found pdf's that are say a lot of different things:

in one say that need to create this file
/etc/modprobe.d/tbs.conf
and put inside that:
options tbs_pcie-dvb tbs6909_mode=0

In other pdf, it suggest to create this file:
/etc/modprobe.d/mxl5xx.conf
and put inside that:
options mxl5xx mode=0


but also i found another pdf that say's the mode is 1, instead of 0. :mrgreen:

This is very confussing and i cannot get the cards work in the mode i want (normal)

Someone can help me to clarify this?

i really appreciate that!

Thanks,
Rama.

First for old unsupported semi-closed source linux-tbs-driver - http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/common/ ... 170330.zip

Second for open-source drivers from tbsdtv/media_build. But frontend driver mxl58x, not mxl5xx.
