| 3 | This is a quad S2 tuner that replaces the [[TBS6984]]. [[Adam]] currently uses one of these that was donated by TBS to provide more tuners so he had some available for development without interfering with his live system. |

| 5 | Unlike the [[TBS6984]] though it does not suffer from the massive concurrency problems that have been discovered with the TBS drivers and are detailed "here":http://tvheadend.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/tbs-6981-debacle/. This is mostly down to the fact that it has 4 completely independent tuners rather than a pair of pairs (the [[TBS6984]] is basically 2x[[TBS6981]]). |

| 7 | The one issue that is still common on this device is that the default interrupt handling mode can cause the device to stop working after a random period of time. To overcome this you need to enable MSI interrupts (assuming your MB support it, VERY likely). |
