I just got my TBS6205 card and started trying to install it and mythtv. I'm a bit worried by the ReadMe.txt that comes with the TBS6205 driver zip. It starts with:
#sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/
which seems like a rather drastic thing to do. Is that a normal thing to do?
That does sound like overkill. Those modules will likely be rebuilt, but still.
It is an overkill, but if you are rebuilding the kernel they get recreated. Problem is, you need to rebuild not only your card module, because the tree holds more than that:
Telcontar:~ # ls /lib/modules/4.4.138-59-default/kernel/drivers/media/ common dvb-core dvb-frontends firewire i2c mmc pci platform radio rc tuners usb v4l2-core Telcontar:~ #
Why delete firewire, i2c?
And then, they are acting on the 32 bit tree, not the 64 bit!
I would have a look at what the tar contains, and at what the install script really does.
And mind, do all this every time there is a kernel update.
Not nice.
