==Remote Control Support==
I followed this process
1. Update the install with update/upgrade
2. Install TBS drivers as per [[TBS6284]] instructions
3. nothing was added to the /var/log/syslog or dmesg output
4. reboot the system
5. I found "disagrees about version of symbol dvb_frontend_detach" messages in the dmesg output, so follow instructions for this at the TBS forum [http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=8195]
a. cd to the "tbs-linux-drivers" subdirectory
b. move or delete the contents of the kernel library drivers/media subdirectory using
"sudo mv /lib/modules/$(uname-r)/kernel/drivers/media ~/.media.bak" or
"rm -Rf /lib/modules/3.8.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/media" (this is for Ubuntu based systems)
c. reinstall drivers using "sudo make install"
d. reboot the system


Working without problems
This gives working card drivers loaded and seen during the boot sequence.


==Kernel modules==


# lsmod
When the kernel is updated (due to security updates), then I found the TBS help wiki's fedora installation instructions useful.
tbs6982fe 21981 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
These are:
tbs6680fe 17177 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
1. cd to the "tbs-linux-drivers" subdirectory
tbs6923fe 21981 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
2. move or delete the contents of the kernel library drivers/media subdirectory using
tbs6985se 17489 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
"sudo mv /lib/modules/$(uname-r)/kernel/drivers/media ~/.media.bak" or
tbs6928se 17489 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
"rm -Rf /lib/modules/3.8.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/media" (this is for Ubuntu based systems)
tbs6982se 21981 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
3. Reconfigure the drivers. For this I needed the following steps which worked for me.
tbs6991fe 17452 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
a. clean out the code and reset the installation kernel data using the "sudo make distclean" command
tbs6618fe 17177 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
b. rerun the installation settings script with the "sudo ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh " command
saa716x_core 39763 29 saa716x_tbs_dvb
c. configure the driver settings (this is a guess) using the "sudo make release" command
tbs6922fe 21981 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
d. configure the driver settings (this is a guess) using the "sudo make menuconfig" command.
tbs6928fe 17452 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
I enabled the "Enable drivers not supported by this kernel" which on hindsight should be left unchecked.
The fedora instructions said to just exit this.
tbs6991se 17489 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
tbs6290fe 50137 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
4. rebuild the driver using the "sudo make" command
stv090x 42943 1 saa716x_tbs_dvb
5. reinstall drivers using the "sudo make install" command
dvb_core 77733 6 saa716x_core,saa716x_tbs_dvb
6. load newly installed driver using the "sudo modprobe -v tbs62x0fe" command
rc_core 18329 8 ir_nec_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_lirc_codec,saa716x_tbs_dvb
7. reboot the system
i2c_algo_bit 12841 2 saa716x_tbs_dvb,radeon
i2c_core 23876 21 i2c_algo_bit,i2c_piix4,drm,stv090x,tbs6290fe,drm_kms_helper,tbs6991se,tbs6928fe,tbs6922fe,saa716x_core,tbs6618fe,tbs6991fe,tbs6982se,tbs6928se,tbs6985se,tbs6923fe,tbs6680fe,tbs6982fe,saa716x_tbs_dvb,radeon,tbs62x1fe


The installation now uses and installs to the latest kernel's "/lib/modules/" directory.

TBS6285

TBS6285 PCI-E low profile DVB-T2 Quad TV Tuner Card, as the name suggests, is a DVB-T2 PCIe Card from TBS Technologies. It is an update to the TBS6284 card for DVB T2 reception countries, such as UK, Sweden. It supports watching or recording four different channels .This DVB T2 PC TV card is ready with windows BDA driver and Linux driver. It’s ideal for watching UK Freeview SD and HD channels on PC.

It has now been superceded by the TBS6205.

Overview/Features

  • 1 x PCI Express Interface
  • low profile
  • Four DVB T/T2 Freeview SD& HD Channels Receiving
  • DiSEqC 2.x Compliant
  • Linux Support
  • 'F' type female screw connectors and provides RF in and out signals for other TV tuners.
