TBS Open Source Driver breaks Hauppauge card

I've been trying to set up a Ubuntu 16.04 Server with my TBS6280 and two Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD cards, but I'm running into a little problem I'm hoping someone here can help with.

I'm using a custom kernel (https://launchpad.net/~b-rad/+archive/u ... +hauppauge) from a Hauppauge developer to get dual tuner support on the Hauppauge cards as, with the latest Linux kernel they only support a single tuner natively at this time. Once installed, I get all four Hauppauge tuners, but as soon as I compile the open source TBS drivers, my Hauppauge cards suddenly become single tuners again.

Is there a way to either compile the TBS driver so it only installs the 6280 components or to do something else to make my Hauppauge sticks dual tuners again?

Thanks

You would have to copy the changes over manually

Thanks

I have tried guessing what the TBS driver has replaced, but so far it hasn't worked. I know the Hauppauge card uses an EM28xx chipset. If you have a set of files I need to move, I'm quite happy to have a go at that.

Thanks again.

Maybe I should have prefaced my original post with "I'm trying to learn Linux" :)

After Googling around, I had a quick try at patching the kernel, but I think I'm a bit out of my element at this stage. It's obviously not as simple as just replacing a couple of files that the TBS drivers overwrote.
