Hy guys , I recently bough a tbs6814 card.
I installed on my centos 7 server and installed drivers following tbs docs.
I can confirm drivers are ok doing:

Problem is that , using w_scan util , can not perform scan.
Here is the output:

Code: Select All Code

[root@tvheadend ~]# systemctl stop tvheadend

main:3886: FATAL: ***** NO USEABLE TERRESTRIAL CARD FOUND. *****
Please check wether dvb driver is loaded and
verify that no dvb application (i.e. vdr) is running.


Any ideas ?
How can I detect signal strengh and perform scan ?
Regards,

Hi Sir

Please have a try with dvblast with the right parameters

Thanks

Kind Regards

Also, dvbv5-scan finds all channels w/o a problem.

Thanks!

TBS support is very very week, next time I'll make sure to buy DigitalDevices cards...
