Subsystem: Device 6922:0001
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
Memory at fd600000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: SAA716x TBS
Kernel modules: saa716x_tbs-dvb

The card is controlled by the kernel module saa718x_tbs-dvb:

Unfortunately the needed kernel module for the TBS-6922 is not yet integrated into the standard kernel (Ubuntu 12.04) and therefore has to be compiled by hand:
Driver and firmware can be fond at http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/#tbs6922.

The following packages are needed under Ubuntu to compile the modules:

apt-get install build-essential unzip linux-headers-`uname -r`

After downloading the driver package from the TBS Homepage, the file has to be extracted

mkdir tbs && cd tbs
wget http://www.tbsdtv.com/download/document/common/tbs-linux-drivers_v120515.zip
unzip tbs-linux-drivers_v120515.zip
tar xfv linux-tbs-drivers.tar.bz2

The installation scripts for 64bit (tbs-x86_64.sh) or 32bit (tbs-x86.sh) platforms be found in the newly created folder linux-tbs-drivers/v4l/. Depending on the used platform the necessary scipt has to be executed:

cd linux-tbs-drivers/
./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh

The compilation is performed by the following command:

make && make install
reboot
