Adding USB DVBS2X tuner

Fearless

Fearless

The Edision OS mio 4K user info indicates additional USB tuners may be installed. The only DVBS tuner listed is the TBS5925. That model has been out of production for over a year and been replaced with the TBS5927. Different drivers too from what I have found so far. Are the drivers for the 5927 available for the Edision? Are there other USB tuners known to work? I was actually looking at the TBS5927 for another application but was hoping it might work with the Edision as well.
 
It is a great idea to find out what works Before you buy!
For TBS driver questions , ask in this forum: https://www.satdreamgr.com
There is also a 2018 DVB-S2X usb device from Sundtek that should work in the MIO. I am thinking of trying one of those.
Sundtek is here:https://shop.sundtek.de/

Sundtek also produces an ATSC usb device, but the driver needs updating to run in the MIO. The MIO has a 5.0 kernel as the latest update, so drivers need to be made for that. TBS did not offer good support when their products were being introduced into enigma2 receivers. The TBS products do not have some features in enigma2 such as blindscan. The Sundtek device may be a better choice for the MIO.

Since the TBS5927 also appeared in the list of available drivers, I tried installing it

However, the tuner is not available after a restart.

opkg install --force-depends bypasses dependency checks. It does not fix the underlying dependency problems!

In your TBS5927 case, the package manager reported:
nothing provides tbs-kernel-module-dvb-usb-5.15.0

When you ran: opkg install --force-depends ... You told opkg to proceed even though the package's declared dependencies were not satisfied. You cannot expect the device to work correctly when doing this. It can also result in multiple problems:
A driver package installs even though required kernel modules are missing.
The installation reports success, but the driver cannot initialize correctly.
Future package upgrades may encounter the same unresolved dependencies.
The actual packaging error remains unfixed.

We need to establish whether tbs-kernel-module-dvb-usb-5.15.0 is genuinely required or whether the recipe should depend on the existing kernel-module-dvb-usb-5.15.0 package. If the standard module is compatible, correct the recipe's dependency.

The first log demonstrates the requirement for a compatible driver providing stv091x_attach(). The second log reveals the remaining requirement for stv6120_attach().

I will look at this as time permits.
