@Sunday, Thanks for the input. Always looking forward to learn something new. I like both contributions and will implement them.

I am using this PKGBUILD for some time now, but i always apply the same changes before building: 1. make compressing the modules use more cpus (xargs -P`nproc`) 2. make the post_install call depmod with the explicit kernel version that the package is built against. This is helpful in my scenario: home-theater box has a slow cpu, so i compile the driver on my main box before updating the kernel on home-theater box. Then I install the new kernel and the new tbs-driver on the new box, without rebooting in between. In this situation depmod fails if the new kernel version is not passed as an argument, because it defaults to the currently running kernel version. This is my changes: http://pastebin.com/9FSPuFZ6, maybe you want to include them in the PKGBUILD, they should not break anything for anyone. Thx for maintaining this nice package :)

Working well with my 6928 and 6982SE. However, the driver used to crash after some time with this error: irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) Disabling IRQ #17 This can be fixed by switching the driver from IRQ to MSI. Just create a conf-file, e.g. /etc/modprobe.d/tbs.conf and add this line: options saa716x_tbs_dvb int_type=1

For the interested there is another option for TBS DVB. T.Alves maintains an unofficial open source TBS driver repo. There could be advantages for some because official TBS drivers use ancient V4L lib's and his drivers use latest V4l See: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tbs-unofficial-dvb-drivers-git/

The v140425 package has changed despite keeping the same name. My system builds 2 extra modules now. Checksums in MAKEPKG have been changed accordingly.

The newest v140425 driver package works as is, but for my 6984 has some intermittent issues when used with FFdecsawrapper which indicates that there may be V4L irregularities within the whole v140425 package. The point is that this newest driver package might be less "perfect" than TBS driver versions in the past. Keep your older v140323 around just in case. EDIT 2014-04-29: Changing permissions of modules to 755 (644 before) seems to fix the irregularity mentioned above for me.
