Besides the support for BDA adapters, there is also the ability to use the Hauppauge MediaMVP with DVBViewer. The software also allows Unicable, DiSEqC and usage of CI-Modules with most adapters. The worldwide charge for the application is 15 euro or 22 US Dollars. Additional functions such as video on demand, TV series and movie management, home network distribution of TV to network devices including iPod Touch, iPhone & iPad & Android devices (with additional remote control features), and a recording service with web interface are provided by free plugins. A plug-in offering MHEG-5 and HbbTV support is available for a license fee of 12 euros.
Had this for a long time and always used it on Windows but since I've also been using Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 atm) for a few years I thought why not try to install the drivers for it under Linux? I've not done this sort of thing before mostly used Linux for browsing and for anything else I've used the Ubuntu Software store. I went to the TBS website and downloaded the opensource drivers and after. Check your kernel version: uname -a. Link the build folder.Go to this folder such as: cd /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x8664/ ln -sf /usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-327. To install drivers needed root privileges: sudo -s. Install system utilities to build drivers from the source code: apt-get install build-essential patchutils libproc-processtable-perl linux-headers-$(uname -r) git. TBS6281 DVB-T2/T Windows Driver is upgraded to V1.0.0.7. Which fixed the driver can't be installed properly from Install Pack. TBS6281 DVB-C Windows driver is.
DVBViewer was the first windows application with HDTV support, right after the Euro 1080 started its transmission via satellite.[2] It also was one of the first alternative applications supporting the DVB-S2 broadcast standard and being compatible to most tuner cards supporting this standard using BDA, a standardized driver interface for digital video capture developed by Microsoft. Therefore, it presented itself as a valuable replacement for the manufacturers bundled software, often only providing fundamental functionality.[3]The current version allows the use of Sat>IP on the client- and also on the server side.
