TBS5880 is a hybrid digital TV external box with both DVB-T2/T tuner and DVB-C tuner. You can use it for watching or recording digital terrestrial or cable TV on PC. The integrated CI support makes it possible to watch Pay TV(By inserting the correct CAM and subscription smartcard into the CI slot, premium channels will be available). The manufacturer provides Linux driver up to the latest kernel.

Making it work

  • Download driver zip from the manufacturer and unpack the files
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_driverversion.zip
mkdir tbs-linux-drivers_driverversion
cd tbs-linux-drivers_driverversion
unzip ../tbs-linux-drivers_driverversion.zip
  • Extract linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2 archive:
 tar xjvf linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
  • Go to driver package directory:
 cd linux-tbs-drivers
  • We need to choose 32bit or 64bit for our drivers. Run
    • ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh for 32bit;
    • ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh for 32bit running kernel 3.x
    • ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh for 64bit.
  • We're ready to build; add -j3 for a faster build on a dual core machine, -j5 on a quad core machine, etc.
  • Build and install the driver:
 make && make install

Or for dual core machines

 make -j3 && make install
  • Reboot in order to load the newly installed driver:
 shutdown -r now

Drivers

Available here. Look for the TBS5880 Latest driver.

Note (2 dec 2012): These proprietary drivers were forked from the standard Linux DVB drivers around August 2011. And as such contain only old drivers for hardware other than from TBS.

Re-installing after a kernel upgrade

  • cd to the linux-tbs-drivers directory that was created in the Making it Work section above.
  • Clean out the previously built objects
 make clean
  • Choose 32bit or 64bit for our drivers again.
    • ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh for 32bit
    • ./v4l/tbs-x86_r3.sh for 32bit running kernel 3.x
    • ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh for 64bit.
  • Remove (or rename if you're paranoid) the config file; it will be regenerated automatically.
 rm v4l/.version
  • Build and install the modules
 make -j3
 sudo make install
  • Reboot your machine.
