Can't use szap-s2 or scan-s2

[martin]

Hi,

I have problems bringing my TBS6981 to work. Downloaded newest driver from the website and installed as described in the READMIE_TBS6981 (64 bit version), but neither szap-s2 or scan-s2 really make it to operate with the satellite dish. With a set top box it works fine, so the dish can be excluded from the problem.

dmesg output seems ok:
[ 16.095497] cx23885_dvb_register() allocating 1 frontend(s)
[ 16.397972] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6981 DVBS/S2 frontend)...
[ 16.425821] cx23885_dvb_register() allocating 1 frontend(s)
[ 16.506366] DVB: registering adapter 1 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6981 DVBS/S2 frontend)...


szap-s2 seems to hang:

# ./szap-s2 -c ../astra_szap-s2.conf -p -r -S 0 \\\\\\\"BBC\\\\\\\"
reading channels from file \\\\\\\'../astra_szap-s2.conf\\\\\\\'
zapping to 3 \\\\\\\'BBC\\\\\\\':

and this is what scan-s2 puts out:

I have no clue how to go on at this point, you can help me?

Many Thanks,
