My HVR 4000 just bit the bullet after a long hard life, so I'm in the market for a new tuner.I bought a Geniatech USB tuner, but am having no luck at all when it comes to tuning channels. So I'm hoping someone could point me in a more successful direction.
There are not too many supported duel-tuner cards. DVBSky S952 comes to mind. TechnoTrend S2-4200 will be supported from kernel 4.7 onwards, but if you get that card, I can make a patch for LibreELEC to support it before we have 4.7 kernel in LibreELEC.

I just bought one TechnoTrend S2-4200! I would like to use it with the latest beta (LibreELEC (Krypton) v7.95.2 BETA with Linux 4.9.3 kernel). Could you kindly confirm that it will be supported? Do I have to install some firmware to use it (if yes, how? I am new to LibreElec)?
My TechnoTrend S2-3200 and my TBS 6928 are not working

Hi,
S2-4200 should work out of the box, yes. If you're having issues, please log in to the LibreELEC box with SSH and run the command dmesg | paste and paste the output here. Then we can have a look to see if something goes wrong there...
I don't know the status for S2-3200 (that's an age old PCI card, right?) nor TBS 6928, but let me check a couple of things...
EDIT: Ok, a fellow co-developer who is into these things is saying that TT S2-3200 should work, but there's no driver for TBS 6928.
but there's no driver for TBS 6928
There are old drivers that could be found at my "special" builds for the 6928 but at these drivers is no support for anything else.
If you like you can request here (official TBS driver support) the support for your card Issues · tbsdtv/linux_media · GitHub
If it isn't added there we can't do a lot for you !
wow guys, that is support! I appreciate it a lot.
CvH yes I tried your builds yesterday and one of them reckognized the TBS 6928 but could not get any scans.
trsqr yes, the tt s2-3200 is an old PCI card. It is reckognized in tvheadend 4.2 but only as generic card and cannot get any scans
The tt s2-4200 is quite cheap here in Germany (only 50€ for a dual tuner) and should arrive tomorrow so I can test it on the weekend. I hope the best
TT S2-4200 is OEM version of DVBSky S952 V3
TT S2-4200 is OEM version of DVBSky S952 V3
yes I read that before and bought it because of thsis. The DVBSky costs 70€, the TT only 50 
btw I got my S2-3200 work, the scans done... the only problem is that the TV frontend produces only artifacts (green-pink stripes and blocks, audio is OK), reported on other threads. I cannot wait to get my hand on the s2-4200. Untill than I still have my dual boot to my good old smooth MediaPortal setup 
(even if it is very bulky and sloppy on the OS side...)

Yes, it is: [1/2] smipcie: add support for TechnoTrend S2-4200 Twin - Patchwork
the only problem is that the TV frontend produces only artifacts (green-pink stripes and blocks, audio is OK), reported on other threads.
This common problem for stb0899 demod driver, usual for DVB-S2.
Signal statistic for stb0899 was fixed in my media_tree repo
stb0899: Extended signal statistic. · crazycat69/linux_media@4d6f36c · GitHub
I got my TT-4200 and can confirm that it works out-of-the-box with LibreELEC v7.95, Kodi 17 and TvHeadEnd 4.2 (oven with CA-newcamd). It is shown as two Cards "Montage M88RS6000" (just renamed them "0" and "1" for sure). Also no artifacts like my TBS caused. I still have to scan my other LNB to get sure. Thank you for your helping posts above.
For the price of just 50€ for a PCIe DVB-s2 Dual Tuner it is a good deal I guess, just to get back to topic
hey guys, a short question:
I get an error after resume from standby "kein freier adapter verfögbar" like "no tuner card available"
could you give me a hint with which setting I could reinitialize my card or something like that?
I get an error after resume from standby "kein freier adapter verfögbar" like "no tuner card available"
you have to unload the modules before go suspend and load them again -> enter modules in addon settings
thank you again! I found that setting myself but was unsure a bit as there stands "mudules" instead "modules" and was not quite sure what to type in:
"/dev/dvb/adapter1" or "Montage Technology M88RS6000 : DVB-S #1"? can I define 2 modules too? as my tt s2-4200 appears as two cards
lsmod says this about modules: is it the "dvb_core" or the "m88rs6000t"?

there stands "mudules"
oh gosh ;D
never saw that - fixed in next version
modules to input (the moduels the card use)
smipcie m88rs6000t m88ds3103 dvb_core you could try if it works without dvb_core too
yepp it worked (also without dvb_core). I added rc_rc6_mce and mceusb to it and now my remote works too after resume. Now I need to add HDMI audio as it gets lost too after standby.
