I am unable to compile the driver on debian testing with kernel 4.6
This is the error I am getting:

Hi imperia

Please update to latest code :
https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/c ... 2f78b99bc2

Thanks

Kind Regards

Could you add driver also for "older" cards, like TBS-6981?

Thanks Paul

open-source driver for 6980/1 long time present in official V4L DVB, so present in tbsdtv/linux-media
need only install cx24117 firmware
https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki

I was able to get the TBS6909 installed on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04, but ONLY after having followed this from CrazyCat's bitbucket README:

NOTE: this document assumes that all prerequisite packages like kerner headers
and build tools are already installed in your Linux system.
----------
For Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-generic \
ncurses-dev libproc-processtable-perl fakeroot\

(https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/linux-tbs-drivers)

This information is not in the github documentation. Maybe that's an obvious bit of advice for most users, I don't know - I overlooked it to start with. I feel as if it should be included in the github README regardless.

this tips from README linux-tbs-driver tarballs (semi-closed source TBS linux drivers).

Hello,

I am trying to get a ubuntu 16.04 machine working with the following cards:

- wintv-pvr-500 for analog channels
- tbs6221 for dvb-c
- tbs8922 for dvb-s

I tried the official drivers first, but for them to work I had to clean out the entire media folder, resulting in working tbs cards, but no support for the pvr-500. So my hope was to use the open-source drivers, and not needing to clean out the media folder to get all three cards working.
The drivers compiled fine, the pvr-500 and tbs6221 are registered as an adapter. The tbs8922 seems to be recognized, but is not registered. The relevant output from dmesg shows the following:

dmesg | egrep -i "cx88|dvb"

Any pointers on how to get this working?

Kind regards

Hi,
After following the recommended steps at the first post of this thread, I have not got the GPL compliant code from github to compile. Here is a paste detailing my build situation: http://pastebin.com/raw/d1h6prca

please check and see if I should be able to do this with linux-4.7.2 or newer.

sincerely,

Hello
I have Matrix ARM mini PC + TBS7220 mini PCIe DVB-C Tuner card.
How could I obtain the driver for this card for ARM?
On the website is only for linux and windows.
Thank you

Thanks a lot, the driver seems to work for me on my 6985.

Could you please add support for SNR reporting? Missing SNR information makes it more difficult to achieve the best dish alignment

UPDATE: I take it back, using "femon" instead of "femon -H" is good enough for me!
