After installing these drivers to the tbs6904 card, the mt4170 card stops working, it looks like there is no af9035 module in these drivers. Can i update it? I can not help running the tbs6904 and mt4170 on linux ubnt 16. I would like help.

Just my 2 cents. If you get something like "tbs5680fe: attach failed : 00" in `dmesg`. Try these things:

Unplug the power of your (external) USB DVB device for a few seconds, and possibly reboot your PC / reload the driver.

Secondly, do a `sudo make distclean` in the driver directory before the platform setting, `sudo make -j4` and `sudo make install` steps.
