Hi. Am trying to install the TBS6922 into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Have downloaded the driver from the link in the download page (V130318.zip) but none of the ReadMe’s refer to this card.
Can you please let me know which one I should use or post the instructions for this card.
Thanks.

Thanks. Here is what I eventually did (adapted from the guide at http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/201 ... vb-s2-pcie):
(Note to self – When you get a permission Denied error, prefix the command with sudo.)

sudo apt-get install build-essential unzip linux-headers-`uname -r`
mkdir tbs && cd tbs
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document ... 130318.zip
unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v130318.zip
sudo tar xfv linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2
cd linux-tbs-drivers/
sudo ./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh (I am installing on an Intel 64bit machine)
make && make install

got a Permission Denied error at ‘–c/home/mark/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l install’ so added the sudo (guess I am making a rookie mistake somewhere but am a Linux virgin) to make:

sudo –c/home/mark/tbs/linux-tbs-drivers/v4l install

Couldn’t use the reboot command so used shutdown instead. Restarted the machine, without any errors coming up and it is now running through the MythTV channel scan test.
