TBS 6981 DVB-S2 Dual Tuner Card

Oh bummer. Now that these cards are officially supported, the only NZ distributor of the TBS 6981 (justtech.co.nz) seems to have stopped bringing them in and replaced them with the TeVii S480. I was patiently waiting to see if Sub could get the TBS cards going, and now no more. Just my luck. Anyone know of a source for these in NZ?

They sent me a dual DVB-S2 tuner PCI-e card (TBS 6981), and USB DVB-S2 QBox CI.

Could I ask you sub if this is the box you got from them. A fair price and I may go for it if it will work with S2.

No, that doesnt appear to be the same device. The one I got came in a mostly blue/black box, with "TBS 5980" on it. http://i01.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/244/469/3...44_830.jpg

I dont think anybody has tried this device. If its like the other TBS devices, then it should work fine.

Hey reven, did you find a local distributor for the TBS units, or order overseas? I've just ordered a TBS6981 from their online store. And I see they do a quad PCIe DVB-S2 as well - if only my budget had stretched that far...
