hello, i can't comment on your questions about the Wiki, but i made the driver for TBS 6980 and i can ensure you that the driver will be released as open-source under GPL as soon as i have permission to do that, but compared to other cards at least even at the moment you can use the card in Linux and it's very easy to add support for it using the binary modules even to the latest V4L code from repository and so those "blobs" are actually not so big limitation. also, you are very wrong about the price - as far as i know retails price is less than 200 USD, for example TBS online shop gives a price of 158.99 USD: http://www.buydvb.net/pcie-dvbs2-dual-tuner-tv-card_p11.html and i believe the dual DVB-S2 card with price of 1000 USD that you're talking about is the NetUP one and not the TurboSight TBS 6980 dual DVB-S2 card. --konstantin On Sat, May 29, 2010 at 5:16 AM, Another Sillyname <anothersname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Guys > > The TBS 6920 PCI-e card is in the Wiki and is a supported card. > > The TBS 6980 dual tuner PCI-e card is not in the Wiki at all, is there > a reason for this given they have released a non GPL blob at least? > > Also is there a reason that an indicative price for supported cards is > not shown in the wiki?
