Overview/Features
- 1 x PCI Express Interface
- Low profile design
- Four DVB T/T2/C Freeview SD & HD Channels Receiving
- Linux Support via closed source driver
- Linux support via TBS linux open source drivers
- Windows BDA driver and Linux Driver ready
- No IR remote or receiver
Components Used
- 4x Si2158 tuner
- 4x Si2168 demodulator
- Lattice ECP3 FPGA (LFE3-17EA-8FTN256) PCIe Bus Interface
- F-connectors, adaptors to IEC supplied

Driver
Since this card has a different PCIe Bus Interface than earlier cards from TBS, the (mostly) closed source linux drivers from TBS are the only option here. While these drivers generally work fine and stable, its always some work to get them recompiled after every kernel update. A switch between DVB T/T2 and DVB-C requires a recompile.
