TBS6281

A dual DVB-T/DVB-T2 PCIe card from TurboSight. It is the successor to the TBS6280.

The manufacturer officially supports Linux, and there is on-going development of their driver, although it is supplied as a binary blob. There is now an open source driver available at Open Source TBS drivers.

Like many other TBS cards, this one uses saa716x PCI express bridge that still isn't available in the kernel tree.
