I have had a long standing issue even trying to install the driver. First attempt the drivers were installed, but nothing would tune. I have since moved the card over to a Windows machine, and the 6281SE is working fine. So clean install of the latest Ubuntu, and followed the instructions for instal...

Hi Crazycat

Now have the scan-s2, thanks for that.

Still need a bit of hand holding from someone on how to use it to test UK DVB_T tuning.

Thanks Paul.

Hi Crazycat I don't want to seem ungrateful. But all that meant nothing to me! I am not a programmer, or that experienced in Linux. Would it be possible to explain in more detail first how to get scan-S2 as the link on the page for it does not work. If I need to compile it? then that is beyond my kn...

[quote="smile"]Hello 1)please check the signal cable if connect to the RF in port or you can try those two port. Tried both, neither worked. 2)Try to use other application , such as dvblast . Sorry I have no idea how to use dvblast, being partially sighted the instructions are horrendous! ...

Hi Have fought long and hard to install the drivers for this. Thought all was well? Seems not. As you can see below the card is seen. sudo dmesg | grep 'DVB: registering' [ 7.216714] dvbdev: DVB: registering new adapter (TBSECP3 DVB Adapter) [ 7.365413] TBSECP3 driver 0000:07:00.0: DVB: registering ...

Thank you all for the contributions, this was driving me nuts on a fresh install of Ubuntu

Oh my, so sorry I am a complete idiot. Just found out my Grandson changed the tuner, he throught he was being helpful as the last one died.
So different question, how on earth to I get the other to stay stable now? as they all use the SAA716x

This has been working great, just updated the Ubuntu and now for some reason all my cards are detected as the same? Huh?

Hi Steven Thanks again for taking the time to help, really appreciated. This morning the boot order came up the same as it did after the cold boot last night:- [ 3.715538] TBSECP3 driver 0000:30:00.0: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (TurboSight TBS 6281SE DVB-T/T2/C )...

Hi Steven

Thank you for the reply.
I followed your instructions, thought it had solved it till I cold booted the server, and the order changed again!
drivers I am using, tbs-open-linux-drivers_v180822.zip I believe that is the open source one?

Regards Paul.
