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.
I have two questions for you: do these board support (or will
support in the near future) a CI interface for pay TV, and what is
the best symbol rate they can achieve in DVB-S2 (I think I need
QPSK only but could be 8PSK) RELIABLY.
TBS 6980 specifications are:
DVB-S QPKS: 1000 - 45000 kSps
DVB-S2 QPSK and 8PSK: 2000 - 36000 kSps
but i personally have tested DVB-S2 8PSK up to 33500 kSps and it works
fine. so, DVB-S2 symbol rate range is still better than what most
other cards can offer i believe, which usually support 10000 - 30000
kSps for DVB-S2. TBS are developing card that will support 1000 -
45000 kSps for DVB-S2 (both QPSK and 8PSK), but i believe it won't be
released any time soon.
OK Thansks. I am interested in a DVB-S2 card able to tune to 45000kSps
rate with CI support (yes my provider here did things so that it is hard
to get rid of their STB :( )
The only one for now are the cards based upon stv0900 like the mystique
satix, but I am not sure about the driver supporting CI.
Bye
Manu
