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

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

With official drivers it works, what could be bad?
