===Make it work===
tm6000 module autodetection not working on satbox because most tm6000 devices have same 6000:0001 numbers and satbox one of them it's has 6000:0001
tm6000 module must be loaded with "card=0" option it will detect satbox as Unknown tm6000 video grabber and will be work as video grabber without dvb-s
