TBS 6209 linux ubuntu, version, drivers etc

[domini]

Hello good afternoon ! I'm already a TBS customer, I already have the product moi, moi pro, a tbs 6985, tbs 6909 and now I bought 6 boards tbs 6209. Please, please help me install in linux, we are a provider ISP and we are starting to work with fiber optics and tested trying to mount a headend. These cards have a high price and I do not claim for what I paid, but I think I deserve respect more support so that I can make proper use of them. There are at least 3 types of tutorials teaching how to install these boards, but I realized that few work with ubuntu 16. I would use a full text saying: "look, it works 100% on linux 14.04 or 12.04 or even on 16 with these drivers and doing so! " I do not think it's difficult, does Steven agree? I also have doubts if the same boards can follow the same tutorials and if it is better to install in the desktop version or the server version of ubuntu. I beg you to teach me at least 1 time and I will never ask again because I learn fast. The products are excellent, the moi pro that I have been working for a long time, the moi single I have also works and never stopped and so I continued to buy your products, however now I need this little help after all I bought 6 tbs 6209 and each one It costs $ 300 and where I live in Brazil, the dollar is expensive! Thank you for your attention!

[steven]

Hi

In astra please set the DVB-T bandwidth and other parameters not only the frequency in Astra

Thanks

Kind regards

steven

[updatelee]

Your frequencies are in khz not hz. Add three more zeros 000 on the end

That's why you're getting an frequency out of range error. At least that's what the logs you posted say

I have used Astra cesbo demo vers.5.63 which lock and streams cable programs with all the tbs cards I have installed, including tbs6209.So this version of Astra Cesbo supports all tbs cards.Unfortunately,the demo version has expired to test now.
