[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1090437, member: 82144"] DiSEqC and tone control almost always require specific/proprietary code for each vendor... and sometimes different code for different tuners from the same vendor. In other words: unfortunately just because something works for a Prof tuner doesn't mean it will work for a TBS tuner, and vice versa. I wrote the original TBS patch. It was tested using a TBS 5980 with 22k and DiSEqC combinations. Everything worked fine. I know that with TBS the USB tuner handling is different to the PCIe and PCI tuner handling. So, I speculate there is something wrong with the PCIe/PCI tuner handling in the patch. In particular, I speculate that the TBS driver is trying to use the C band LNB LOF to tune the Ku band transponders. TBS Blind Scan could help us to confirm what is happening.
