I had a TBS 6981 but their drivers are out-of-Linus's tree, so I got
fed up of bodging their code to work with newer kernels, I replaced it
with a TeVii S480 which is a PCIe card that presents the tuners as USB
devices, this is perhaps less efficient but works nicely for me (with
the tuners in a Xen domU as my backend).
