Hello,
I just installed the drivers, it detect my TBS922SE and work well (better than TBS driver) and my ISDB-Tb dongle correctly but doesn't detect my TBS6221, exactly than crazycat's branch.
Are you planing support TBS6221? I'm DVB-C Annex B (J.83-B) user.
A friend who have got TBS5881 and use for Annex B too was working with crazycat to get the correct support for our standard. I don't know if they found solution yet.

Thanks
Newtman

Hi, just installed latest version on a RPI2 with ubuntu, latest branch compiles, and silabs branch does not

With latest branch, my TBS5881 does not tune, I have SCTE QAM (US DVBC)

For example, scanning 375MHz QAM256 SR5360 in tvheadend I get this output:

2016-07-05 23:30:23.414 opentv-skynz: registering mux 375MHz in New
2016-07-05 23:30:23.901 subscription: 0003: "scan" subscribing to mux "375MHz", weight: 5, adapter: "Silicon Labs Si2168 : DVB-C #0", network: "New", service: "Raw PID Subscription"

2016-07-05 23:30:28.899 subscription: 0003: "scan" unsubscribing

With official drivers it works, what could be bad?

Testing TBS6982. Everything seen to be ok.

With the official drivers I got some issue in ubuntu 16.04 (kernel 4.6) but with this opensource driver everything seen to be ok.
