I've had a TBS6280 for a couple of months running on Arch, and it
needs an extra step when you're compiling the drivers for more recent
kernels. Its not documented in the readme included with the drivers, I
found it on the forum:

The bits i need to do are:

sudo make rmmod
sudo mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media ~/media.bak
sudo make install

YMMV, I don't have to worry about it knobbling any other tuner cards.
