Since this card has a different PCIe Bus Interface than earlier cards from TBS, the (mostly) closed source linux drivers from TBS are the only option here. While these drivers generally work fine and stable, its always some work to get them recompiled after every kernel update. A switch between DVB T/T2 and DVB-C requires a recompile.

TBS 6205 Card

TBS6205 is a quad-tuner DVB-T2/T/C low profile card from TBS. It is the successor to the TBS6284 and TBS6285.

Overview/Features

  • 1 x PCI Express Interface
  • Low profile design
  • Four DVB T/T2/C Freeview SD & HD Channels Receiving
  • No IR remote or receiver

Components Used

  • 4x Si2158 tuner
  • 4x Si2168 demodulator
  • Lattice ECP3 FPGA (LFE3-17EA-8FTN256) PCIe Bus Interface
  • F-connectors, adaptors to IEC supplied
