Thought I would bring 2 seperate confirmations that both linux & windows tbs5990 drivers have been completely unlocked now. Happy DAYS !
** ARM seems to still need some work. So feel free to vent frustration

To build this;

git clone https://CrazyCat@bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/media_build.git
cd media_build
./build --git https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media.git latest
sudo mv -f /lib/modules/[kernel-version]/kernel/drivers/media old
sudo make install
sudo reboot

you should see output like this:

Also if you're finding DVBS2 channels are green/pixelated you need to add this file to module options and reboot:

# sudo echo "options cx231xx transfer_mode=0" > /etc/modprobe.d/cx231xx.conf
# sudo reboot

this will enable bulk transfer mode on tuner A & B and clear up those continuity errors, seems to need this for now

** This work has taken almost 6 months or more so enjoy ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL CRAZYCAT, if there are other problems probably just post reply below.. stay tuned etc &th@

Thx man! Just what I needed!!

MCE Remote does not work with this driver on ubuntu 16.04 LTS. What could be the problem ?

openSUS Leap ? u must have insane amount of time to waste. just use ubuntu for htpc..

highkick05 Wrote:openSUS Leap ? u must have insane amount of time to waste. just use ubuntu for htpc..

I spent an insane amount of time to compile failed. My operating system works well and reliably, for a decade. I will not change it for fashionable toy.
Tastes differ.
I was able to collect only http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/tbs5990 ... 151229.zip
But he does not create a DVB-devices. Newer drivers always break off at the "recipe for target 'sub-make' failed"

How to build a driver?

Vanilla kernel - driver going. At the core of openSUSE 4.4.36-8 x86_64 default is not going to. Error:

give it a try

Hello

I've done what is written in the beginning of this post on a Raspberry PI 3, but it doesn't work. Does anyone has already installed the TBS5990 on a Raspberry? Is it normal that there is no driver for a TBS5990 on the delivered CD neither on the downloaded version from the TBS website?

Could anyone help me to get it work on my raspberry? The aim is to run it for tvheadend.

Info about the OS installed on my raspberry:
-Raspbian PIXEL version (Downloaded 18-12-2016 from NOOBS)
-Kernel: 4.4.34+ & 4.4.34-v7+
