TBS 6902 not recognized

Hi,

I have an Intel system running LibreELEC (official): 9.2.6 and a TBS 6902 card. I've installed the TBS (CrazyCat) drivers but the card is not listed in Tvheadend.

In dmesg I see:

[ 13.204324] i2c i2c-1: tas2101: i2c rdm err(-5) @0x00 (len=2)

I've tested the card in another machine, also running LE, with the same result and I've tried LE 10.0 Beta.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.

I wonder if it could be a hardware issue. I chose this card because the LinuxTV wiki says it's very popular so I thought it would be well supported. I can't, however, find people reporting that they got it to work on LE. Most of the other cards listed in that wiki are no longer being produced.

I may still be able to return it, so if someone could recommend an alternative dvb-s2 dual tuner that would be brilliant. One with mainline kernel support would be amazing! In case it matters, I'm based in Ireland (Astra 28.2°E).

Thanks smp, that's good to know.

I'll see if I can return it. Maybe I'll try a Telestar Digibit Twin next.
