TBS5220

[orrpan]

Any possibility to make the TBS5220 dvb-T2/T/C work?

[nereeb]

The TBS 5220 is working with https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media. I have tested DVB-C on a rpi2.

[orrpan]

latest kernel? 4.1.18?

[ljalves]

I've merged CrazyCat PR #112
Should be working now...

[nereeb]

@orrpan yes with 4.1.18-v7+

@nereeb Nice, trying to do it on rpi1 4.1.18+ make and make install works fine, but when I try to reboot to load it doesn't load the driver

Any ideas?

Do you have the file dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5220.fw in your /lib/firmware directory? It says that it failed to find the firmware file, so I believe you haven't placed it in the correct folder... (These firmwares cannot be distributed usually in standard Linux distributions due to licensing issues, so you'll need to add it manually).

[orrpan]

@trsqr true, found it on https://github.com/beam/linux-tbs-drivers/blob/master/dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5220.fw now it seems to be loaded. Thanks

problem, can't get it to work with dvbt2. I think i works with dvbc and dvbt but can't test it. I got it working in december with crazycats driver on dvbt2, but now when setting it to dvb-fe-tool -d DVBT2 it allways change when starting tvheadend :/

[trsqr]

Tvheadend supports DVB-T2 natively - no need to touch dvb-fe-tool. You'll just need to make sure that when you define your muxes the delivery system is set to DVB-T2.

[orrpan]

okey, strange thing is. I can't find any services/channels with tvheadend. But if I install the official drivers on windows, I find them :/

my problem was a to weak powersupply for the raspberry pi... Works lika a charm on rpi1 and rpi2 now
