3 | This is used by [[Adam]] for his TVH server. It is a PCIe card providing dual DVB-S2 tuners. Unlike some other cards [[TeVii-S480]] it's a native PCIe interface and not a PCIe to USB bridge. |

||
6 | |||
7 | TBS provide official (out of tree) kernel drivers which can be downloaded from "here":www.tbsdtv.com/download/#tbs6981. However the one issue I find is that the build system defaults to including ALL TBS's drivers, which is a LOT. And so it can take more than an hour to compile everything. |
||

9 | To simplify the process I created a config file to only compile those modules that are required, I've attached it to this article. |

31 | Note: you can combine steps 11-14, it's just I build on diff machine to install. |
||
32 | |||
33 | Once installed you will need to reboot due to the way the driver is integrated. |
