A dual [[DVB-T]]/[[DVB-T2]] [[DVB-T2 PCIe Cards|PCIe card]] from [http://www.tbsdtv.com/ TurboSight]. |
|||
TurboSight provide drivers for this card which are available for [http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/Download.html download] and a [http://www.tbsdtv.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=52 support forum] is also provided by the manufacturer. |
|||
The manufacturer officially supports Linux, and there is on-going development of their driver, although it is supplied as a binary blob. |
|||
There is also an [[#Making it Work (Open source)|open source driver]] for TBS 6280 developed by Luis Alves. |

Latest revision as of 16:50, 14 May 2016
A dual DVB-T/DVB-T2 PCIe card from TurboSight.
The manufacturer officially supports Linux, and there is on-going development of their driver, although it is supplied as a binary blob.
There is also an open source driver for TBS 6280 developed by Luis Alves.
Overview/Features
- PCI-e x1
- Dual Tuner DVB-T/DVB-T2 card
- RF antenna pass-through
- IR Receiver
- Remote Controller
Components Used
- NXP SAA7160ET (PCI Express Based Audio And Video Bridge), driver is NOT included in linux kernel, you must compile a closed (proprietary) or open source driver above to use your TBS6280 card
- NXP (TDA) 18212/M (alias TDA18212HN with master) (Silicon Tuner for terrestrial and cable digital TV reception) X2, (driver included in linux kernel >= 3.0)
- SONY CXD2820R (demodulator LSI for "DVB-T2", compatible with three standards ("DVB-T2", "DVB-T" and "DVB-C") X2, (driver included in linux kernel >= 3.0)
Identification
Note : "Capabilities" information are only show if you use the root account, else you will have "Capabilities: <access denied>".
With working driver:
# lspci -v | grep --after-context=10 7160
04:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7160 (rev 03) Subsystem: Device 6280:0011 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18 Memory at e0300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: [40] MSI: Enable- Count=1/32 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [50] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [74] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [80] Vendor Specific Information: Len=50 <?> Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0000 Rev=0 Len=088 <?> Kernel driver in use: SAA716x TBS
If the driver is NOT yet installed or loaded, then output will instead be
# lspci -v | grep --after-context=10 7160
02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors Device 7160 (rev 03) Subsystem: Device 6280:0001 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18 Memory at e0300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: [40] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/5 Enable- Capabilities: [50] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [74] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [80] Vendor Specific Information <?> Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information <?>
The final line with "Kernel driver in use:" is missing because NO driver is loaded.
With lspci -vvvnn (and working drivers):
# lspci -vvvnn | grep --after-context=27 7160

Check that your tuner card works
1.Check that linux tool can find TV channels
- Use the scan command line. Others scan tools are available here.
If the file for terrestrial transmitters in your town is not in the /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t folder, then you can find
file in scan-s2/dvb-t folder in the scan-s2.tar.bz2 that is in the tbs-linux-drivers_vRELEASE_NUMBER.zip file.
A list, not up to date, for french users is available here : doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tnt_frequences.
File for Paris - Eiffel Tower : use configuration at http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg45916.html or create an up to date /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/fr-Paris file like this :
