The problem: this is the interface 2 on the tbs 6980 is not able to get a lock after using it 2-3 month. If i go to the mythfrondend and switch to imput 2 the interface shows "no lock". Interface 1 is working without trouble ... interface 2 was working since one bad day ..

what can i do ?

hi, it's not a driver problem for sure, because then everyone will have it, but maybe there is some hardware fault in second tuner of your card. please, if you are in Europe contact us via euro_support@tbsdtv.com and so we can arrange sending the board back for diagnostics and replacement with new one.
