I have TBS 6909 and Cesbo Astra. If I use 4 adapters (number 0, 1, 2, 3) - everything works well. But if
I add the adapter 5 - signal disappears on all adapters and get error messages "i2c xfer timeout" when server restart. Who has the same problem? How to fix it?

Hi

Can you tell us that which driver you are using ? please use our latest open source driver :

Thanks

I TRIED DIFFERENT MOTHERBOARD. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THE SIGNAL LOSS WAS GOING ON ALWAYS ADDING NEXT ADAPTER (NUMBER 5)

Hi

Please have a try direct using tuner 5 check whether is ok

Thanks

i2c xfer timeout

hmm looks like he is having same trouble as i am , this card TBS6909 i have all 8 tunners
working, just getting Vertical TP signal...

i have 1 cable that connects direct single band no diseqc switch enabled nothing.. just 1 single cable coming from sat dish direct to tunner 0 connected, and from there i have 8 TPs working all on Vertical Position,

after couple of hours start getting all this kernel and i2c error timeout messages on the log and cards starts shutting down i know its a driver problema, because here lsdvb command stop responding with error message like pyvet user posted..

if i reboot the PC server this works ok for couple of hours untill same problem occurs..
