Hi, I currently have a TBS 6281SE for use with DVB-C on Linux using the open source drivers. I do have some issue with signal strength compared to a DVB-C set-top-box, where the set-top-box recieved achnnels with no issues I find that with some channels the TBS 6281SE glitches or does not receive th...

Hi, I am on Xubuntu 15.04 with a TBS6984 and am trying to disable to ir on this card so Linux doesn't see it. Could you give me the instructions on how to do this please? This is the outpur of cat /proc/bus/input/devices: I: Bus=0001 Vendor=6984 Product=0013 Version=0001 N: Name="saa716x IR (Tu...

FIXED!!!!! I can now watch and record on all 4 tuners at the same time! In MediaPortal I needed to enable 'Allow this card to be preloaded' in the TV Server\Edit Card Properties (disabled by default). Once I enabled this setting on each tuner, rebooted, now all works perfectly. Many thanks for every...

Hi Cody, thanks for your reply.
So is there something I could try to prove it's a MediaPortal problem, another pice of software for example? Something free and easy to use and test with would be good, coz at the moment i'm stuck in limbo.

Cheers.

So I just tried the card in an older PC, with different power supply, and it functioned exactly the same, same issue. :cry: So I dont think it's the motherboard or power supply. So it's either a problem with the TBS 6984 card, my cable, or the LNB. I need to find out if the 6984 card is faulty. Any ...

I am not getting anywhere with this. I have tried driver version 1.0.2.3 and 1.0.2.4, same issue. I start watching BBC1, I then set Channel 5 to record and as soon as Channel 5 starts to record the programme I am watching (BBC1) freezes. Once this has happened if I repeat the same test it then works...

Hi, thanks for the tip, I tried it but unfortunately made no difference. I have moved the card to another PCI-E slot, plugged it in a power source (connector from the power supply, so a good source) and unfortunately I still havr the same problem. My motherboard is an Asus P8Z68-V LX with the latest...

Hi, OK, I have figured out why my problem is intermittent, the first time I try to use more than 1 tuner at a time after reboot I get the issue, as soon as MP has unsuccessfully used 2 tuners at the same time, then I can use 2 tuners at the same time successfully. As soon as MP has unsuccessfully us...

Hi, I am using my 6984 with MediaPortal, which I have been using for about 6 years with various different cards, so I am no beginner when it comes to MediaPortal. For some reason with my 6984 card I can't use more than 1 tuner at a time. If I set a programme to record, and when that starts to record...
