[QUOTE="deeptho, post: 1134959, member: 215446"] I have boxes full of cards, enough to open a shop, but indeed no tbs6983, which is also an older card. It is also a matter of having time and distributing it over new features, older cards, or internal reworking of the code. Another problem is that some existing drivers are poorly designed and cannot be unloaded without crashing the linux kernel. That means that development is quite slow then. So the first step is then to fix those problems first and before you know it a week of constant rebooting the PC passes by before the problem of unloading is fixed.... Only after that it is possible to work on the driver itself. To make matters worse, drivers are not very similar to each other, even the older TBS ones are quite different from the newer ones. What it is not just a matter of applying old learnings to new drivers. Note sure about tbs6903, but the hauppage winTv card was one such "card" (stick) from hell and the tbs6504 as well. I tend to work on cards I have myself, and on the ones that happen to be in the PC. It is a hobby, not a job. Currently I am working on making better use of the 8 tuners in the 6903x, but that requires some fundamental changes. [/QUOTE]
