There are now open source  drivers for TBS see 
https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki

I have been using these open source drivers for a long time now with my 
TBS 6981 (dual DVB-S/S2) and TBS 6280 (dual DVB-T/T2) pcie cards.

As with the TBS closed source drivers you have to rebuild if the kernel 
gets updated.

Note as of writing they work on Ubuntu 160.04 LTS (HWE) with the current 
kernel 4.13.0-32-generic #35~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 25 10:13:43 UTC 
2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

They don't yet work with the just released 4.15Ubuntu mainline kernel, 
build fails with a ring buffer error (it did earlier today).
