TBS6908 problem

Added by Raivo Kask almost 10 years ago

I have Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (3.13.0-45-generic) and Tvheadend 3.4.28~geb79aee~trusty as backend.
I installed the drivers 'linux-tbs-drivers_150130.tar.bz2' according to the documentation for my TBS6908 card.
Installation went OK.
Appreciate all help I can get ...

dmesg | grep -i TBS

But still I can't scan ... which I did without problems with my cheap testing tuner card Hauppauge 5500 before.
What is the problem ?

sudo w_scan -fs -c SE -s s0w8 -C UTF-8 -O 0 -R 0
...
trying 'S2 f = 10747 kHz H SR = 25000 3/4 0,35 8PSK'
(time: 00:11)
trying 'S2 f = 10747 kHz V SR = 25000 3/4 0,35 8PSK
...
ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder
Nothing to scan!!
