Making it Work

As of (2012-02-14) it is now possible to tune into DVB-T & DVB-T2 at the same time, both recorded and live, following the release of Linux Driver v120216. This version will also now compile on all Linux Kernels up till 3.2.x. Instructions for compiling/installing remain identical.

These instructions can all be carried out as a non-root user, until "make install".

  • Download driver zip from manufacturer
  • Unzip linux-tbs-drivers_v120216.zip, and then untar/bzip linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
  • cd linux-tbs-drivers
  • At this point, the supplied tar.bz2 is completely knackered in respect of the file permissions. To fix run
 find -type d -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;
 find -type f -exec chmod 644 \{\} \;
 find -name '*.pl' -o -name '*.sh' -exec chmod 755 \{\} \;
  • We need to choose 32bit or 64bit for our drivers. Run ./v4l/tbs-x86.sh for 32bit; run ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh for 64bit.
  • We're ready to build.
 make
  • Once that has completed, you can install
 sudo make install
  • And reboot.
