TBS6284 Linux Kernel 3.x drivers?

Hi, Could you provide me with links to the most up-to-date versions of the DVB-T and DVB-T2 Drivers for the TBS6284 Quad DVB-T2 card, that work with the Linux kernel v3.x? I'm just getting a bit lost on your downloads page and am worried that I might download the wrong version.

Also, I have a query regarding the split dvb-t/dvb-t2 drivers.

As there are 4 tuners on my card, is it possible to install both dvb-t2 and dvb-t drivers (i'm not sure how it works really, if you could explain that would be great) and then have two of the four tuners appear as DVB-T and the other two appear as DVB-T2 in the system, or does it not work like that?

Thanks.

Can you give me the links for the latest drivers that you have at the moment for both dvb-t and dvb-t2 for this card, even if they are seperate? Thanks

latest dvb-t: http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/common/l ... 111118.zip

latest dvb-t2: viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2285#p9186

BTW, what you want, i.e. on 6284, because you have so many tuners available there, to make one of the tuner cans exclusively dvb-t and the other dvb-t2 is possible, but it will requires changes in the driver code that you can't do by yourself - i can't promise, but if i find spare time, i will post here such driver for 6284 in the next days, but otherwise, as 'bob' mentioned next month there will be driver that merges dvb-t/dvb-t2 drivers together and any of the tuners will be able to lock to both without need to change the driver.

That would be great if you could do that (I guess for a quad tuner, 2 for dvb-t and the other 2 for dvb-t2) :)

Also, regarding the current DVB-T mode drivers, is the .ko module file all I need for the system to recognise the card? If so, what else does the Makefile in this particular zip build?

I should add that while the DVB-T drivers work correctly, I can compile the DVB-T2 module, yet it does not work, I get the "frontend initialization failed" error when the module loads on startup, and no cards are found.

Has there been any update on the Linux Drivers yet?
