I had this working a few months ago.
THen I havent used it.

Today the card drivers are not loaded. /dev/dvb/ does not exist.
lspci shows 6909

I try to reinstall following instructions http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/tbs6909 ... _guide.pdf

on step "make", this is output (I even tried sudo make):

make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-45-generic'

Hi

Please contact our support and you can set a SSH remote we will have a check with this
and you can have a try with this package too :
#wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/linux/media_build-0119.tar.bz2
# sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
#tar jxvf media_build-0119.tar.bz2

Hello guys. I think I have got it working before I saw your reply -

I don't know what fixed it as I did a lot of things:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then I see somebody else having similar problems installing pci card on linux and he says this command fixed things for him, so I tried this:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential subversion mercurial openssl gettext libssl-dev screen libv4l-dev

full driver install
reboot

Now I have 8 adapters in /dev/dvb

Hopefully this will help somebody else who has same problem and find this page on google.

Regards

Hi....After a clean reinstall of my Ubuntu the other week I am having trouble installing the TBS6981 drivers.
I have run through the instructions many times in the past (usually after upgrading the kernel) without any issue but this time it doesn't work. The strange thing is that it worked last week and there have been no changes to the kernel since then.

Hi

Thanks
