Sorry my English is very poor
HW

CPU
DVB-S2 card
OS Proxmox 5.3-5 - kernel 4.15.18-9

I have two DVB-S2 cards

Code: Select All Code

lspci
07:00.0 Multimedia controller: TBS Technologies DVB-S2 4 Tuner PCIe Card
08:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 (rev 03)

I installed driver for TBS6909 by http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/tbs6909 ... _guide.pdf
Everything went well.
If I write in terminals.

Code: Select All Code

dmesg | grep frontend

I do not see any adapter.
/dev/dvb/ is empty.
Then I found that I need to secure boot disable viewtopic.php?f=176&t=9980
When I set up secureboot disable, after reboot is always secure boot enable (hmm).
I tryied

Code: Select All Code

sudo apt install mokutil
sudo mokutil --disable-validation

and after entering and confirming password
I see

Code: Select All Code

Failed to request new SB state

Will DVB card work on my HW at all?
Will DVB card work in VM or LXC ?
thank you

Hi

Please have a try with this package :
#wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/media_build-2018-1019.tar.bz2
# sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
#tar jxvf media_build-2018-1019.tar.bz2
#cd media_build
#./install.sh
#reboot

Thanks

Hi steven
I tried it, but nothing changed after the reboot

Hi

You test in VM ? usually we do not recommend use the DVB tunner card under VM. if you are using a normal PC
Please set a SSH remtoe we will remote install the driver for you you can send the SSH detail information to our support@tbsdtv.com

Thanks

Hi steven
I want to use a DVB card either in VM or LXC. First, The DVB card must be visible to the host (proxmox (debian)).
I do not have a normal PC, I only have a proxmox hypervisor. I want to build a DVB server on VM or LXC (e.g. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/lxc-d ... ugh.24951/ )
May I send you SSH detail information for VM ?
Should i install debian or ubuntu ?
thx

Hi

Sorry that we have not tested DVB tuner card under VM/LXC you can send SSH PM message to me
i can have a try

Thanks

Kind Regards

steven

Solution for Proxmox 5 (Similarly debian)
Find kernel version

Code: Select All Code

uname -r

In my case

Code: Select All Code

4.15.18-9-pve

Code: Select All Code

apt-cache search pve-headers
apt install pve-headers-4.15.18-9-pve

Then install the driver
Now everything works
