Hello,

Execusé hurt me if I speak your language, I'm French.
My two PCI-E TBS 6984/6220 works very well.

TurboSight TBS 6220 (Dual Tuner)

Of the adapter5 adapter0 to what the TBS 6984 and TBS 6220 ?

I am Linux Kubuntu 12.04 x64, I want to know how he should take to know if the number of TBS adapt my cards.

How to know the number of tuner 1, 2, 3, 4 of my cards and TBS 6984 Tuner 1 and 2 of my card TBS 6220.

How do you are?

Thank you.
Cordially.

Hi xunil2003.

Using dvbsnoop you can know what card is it.

Code: Select All Code

dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter 0
dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter 1
dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter 2
dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter 3
dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter 4
dvbsnoop -s feinfo -adapter 5

But not the adapter. Adapter are enumerated from 0 to n, starting from tuner more near to the mainboard (pci-e chispset really).
Additionally, in some cases you can use udev to enumerate cards and adapters. I do this with my TBS6920 (in a few hours I'll can put an example of this).

Best regards.

I'm sorry. I said "you can use udev ", but I'm really using modprobe options.
This is my /etc/modprobe.d/dvb.conf file

Code: Select All Code

# TBS6920 PCI-e DVB-s2
options cx23885 adapter_nr=3

You can use udev too, but I haven't got any example at the moment.

Best regards.
