You must consider some prerequisites when installing @deeptho's driver, which is true for everything when building something in Linux.
In this case, it's about Git, a compiler that allows you to access the source code.
Then there's libproc-processtable-perl .
Check if you installed Git in a terminal with the command: git --version
If you get a negative message, then you need to install it like this:

-sudo apt update
-sudo apt upgrade -y
-sudo apt install git
-git --version

Then install; libproc-processtable-perl
At each command line, you should see on the terminal that something happens next:
mkdir ~/blindscan_kernel
cd ~/blindscan_kernel: git clone --depth=1 GitHub - deeptho/linux_media: neumoDVB blindscan drivers media_tree ./media
etc,etc,etc.
But better, as @deeptho says, to read each paragraph from his site: linux_media/README.md at deepthought · deeptho/linux_media


I don't know how much anyone can help you if you haven't put any "bricks" when you want to build something.
I understand. I was in your situation myself, and I went through many tribulations when I first tried to install the neumoDVB driver and application.

Switching from Windows to Linux or any operating system is like learning a foreign language mentally; you have to think like a native speaker of that language, not words and sentences.

@deeptho provides us with "the bricks" and instructions for arranging them.

OK, it seems I had not installed the git compiler previously.
This has now been installed and shows up as version 2.43

I then created and navigated into the directory /blindscan_kernel OK However after that I got an error of too many arguments when entering the line of

git clone --depth=1 GitHub - deeptho/linux_media: neumoDVB blindscan drivers media_tree ./media

I think I am going to run into repeated errors and issues in trying to get nuemoDVB installed and operational due to my zero knowledge of what I am doing.
If anyone who can resolve this and get the installation completed and operational I can provide access to the PC via Team Viewer and would make a donation to the forum and to the person for assistance.

Other than that, I will use the TBS6904SE card elsewhere and have to leave this mini project until another day.

Thank you for your reply.

My need to get this working is at the level of "nice to have", it is not a critical need.
I might come back to this another day but for now I will leave it as I can see numerous issues ahead.
