Hello, I'm trying to reinstall my drivers on Gentoo, kernel 4.12.12. I get the following error:

Okay, thanks for looking into it. I'll be waiting for the 6928 driver on github.

well, it seems like we can wait forever.
I have the same card, unofrtunately, on kernel 4.15.0-29-generic and there is no driver You can use! Why not downgrade, yes? Well, i thanks to nvidia card i use.
Based on all I read, TBS support drivers only for kernels < 4.10, opensource drivers does not support this card.
I have experience with other cards, like 6905 and 6982se. And it was a pain to make them work. But they do work, somehow...
This little one will be throwed out of the window... Ok, i wanted to buy a new 4-tuner card anyway. But should it be TBS? DD has in-kernel built driver on linux kernel above 4.14... without this stupid driver building.

its already year 2019 , but still no support for 6928 . Is there any possibility how to install these drivers to 4.15 kernel ? Also opensource drivers are not supporting this card. TBS has very poor drivers support. we are waiting more than two years !!

And now it´s 2020, still no support for 6928. I wish I had the skills to contribute, but I havn´t.

I am having a 6928SE and also looking for a driver that could be compiled with a more recent kernel, eg. 4.15 as used in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. At the moment I am stuck to Ubutnu LTS 16.04 wit a 4.4 kernel due to the problems to compile the tbs-driver on 4.15. I have also tried the forked tbs driver but that one seems not to support the tbs6928se. Is there any chance to get a working driver for that card and a 4.15 kernel?
If not, I would have to buy a new card and guess what it will be not.

Best regards
