Could someone please enlighten me if DVB-C is supported on TBS6281 card under Linux (Ubuntu)?
It says in the specification that it does support it but while I can use it for DVB-T2 with no
problems I just can't make it work for DVB-C. Just to be clear, I've got one card that does
DVB-T2 and the another one I plan to use for DVB-C, in two different servers.

I've tried with the latest driver (tbs-linux-drivers_v150313.zip) but README mentiones
install guide for 6220, 6280 and 6284 card. If someone would point me to the right drivers
and the right installing procedure I would be much grateful.

Thank you!

You need to compile driver for DVB-C or DVB-T - you can't use one installed driver for different modes. At last this was true last time I was doing this things.

Thanks Peter! I'd realised I had to decide which one I want to use, that's way I mentioned I've got two different cards in two different server.
Do you use succesfully TBS 6281 card for DVB-C? Any guides for compilation for DVB-C mode? The readme file mentiones compilation steps
for 6220, 6280 and 6284 cards... is it the same for 6281?

I don't have any such card. But I'm familiar with the driver.

One (googled) instructions here: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/10407
After running tbs-x86_64.sh you need also run tbs-dvbc-x86_64.sh. After that you get DVB-C enabled driver.

I reinstalled the system from scratch, it seems the cause of the problem was the fact that I had previously
compiled driver for DVB-T2 on the same server. Anyhow, with the fresh system I managed to compile the
driver for DVB-C and the system recognizes the card correctly. Thank you.
