I have another card (TBS6909) in the same computer, but this card works fine!

Thanks a lot in advance

I have just tried the Sky star usb 1.1 in a virtual machine and it works like a charm!

But I see that in tvheadend recognize the card in a different way. In the virtual machine the name in tv adapters is "Sky Star" and in the computer is "ST STV0299 DVB-S : DVB-S #0"

The virtual machine has Ubuntu 14.04 server and the Computer has Ubuntu 16.04 server,in the computer I have installed the drivers: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki for the TBS6909

Is it possible that the driver is wrong? How can do i fix it to use the same driver that in the virtual machine?

Thanks you very much in advance

I found out that the Sky Star USB works in Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 without problems.

The trouble is when I install the driver for the tbs card.

When i do this steps: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki and reboot the system the sky star usb doesn't work.

Any idea? how can i do to install the tbs drivers without disabling the sky star usb?

Thanks a lot in advance

Did you notice this part:
https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TBS_driver_installation#Deleting_media_drivers_directory_to_resolve_conflicts


Deleting media drivers directory to resolve conflicts
Some users have found that deleting the whole kernel media drivers folder and then compiling can resolve conflicts.
This process will fix issues resulting in "disagrees about version of symbol dvb_frontend_detach" messages in the dmesg output.
Instructions for this can be found in the TBS forum. They are as follows:
First remove the existing media modules:
sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/
Then reinstall the modules, following steps 3 and 6 above.
Compatibility with other cards
As noted above you should remove the kernel's existing media drivers before installing the TBS driver package, I omitted this step when installing the drivers and whilst the card worked fine (Mythtv 0.27/Debian 7) my other DVB-S2 tuner card would fail to initialize on start up. There were no obvious messages in the dmesg output indicating symbol issues, the card simply wouldn't work. Once I removed the media directory before installing the TBS drivers the card worked correctly. (The driver in the v4l tree used by the TBS drivers was actually a different name than the one in the Linux kernel I had installed).
