I have two tbs 6909 ready to put on a PC with Proxmox 5.1. I have checked the maximum of dvb cards and it is 8:
root @ pc: / boot # cat config-4.13.13-2-pve | grep MAX_AD
CONFIG_DVB_MAX_ADAPTERS = 8
I want to create a VM with tvheadend and ubuntu inside proxmox and I want the 16 tuners to work for me.
Do I have to recompile Proxmox? How do I do it? Or when you install the card drivers of tbs, are they set to 16?
Thank you

I don't know anything about proxmox but I'm assuming it's nothing special when it comes to the kernel. You should be able to download the Linux kernel and compile it like any other distro. There are thousands of Linux distros out there, but every single Linux distro has the same Linux kernel at the heart of it.

And its true this afirmation?:
"is that the TBS drivers need to be rebuilt and reinstalled EVERY SINGLE TIME there is a Linux kernel"
Then So every time I do a kernel update (ie, I'll have to download the source code first and change CONFIG_DVB_MAX_ADAPTER = 16), will I have to update the TBS drivers?

hi,
you don't need to config CONFIG_DVB_MAX_ADAPTERS = 8 . it has been configed when install the card driver.
best regards!
