Linux compatible DVB-S/T/C hardware that works with ubuntu kernels without recompilation - eviltoast

I couldn’t find a r/linuxhardware alternative community, so I decided to ask here.

I have a TBS5530 DVB-S/T/C USB device and I am not happy with it due to https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/issues/193

I don’t want to recompile kernel or use out-of-tree media_builds everytime I upgrade my kernel (ubuntu22.04).

Therefore I am looking for a device that has built-in kernel driver or simply loadable one with apt install linux-modules-XXX .

I prefer USB devices since I use it with both my desktop & laptop.

Does anyone know such hardware available to buy ?

Note to myself: seems I am 175th subscriber and this is my 1st post. yay !

    The “digital devices” tuners are pretty solid.

    I would not suggest getting the PCI express tuners as the driver situation is just as bad as with the other manufacturers, but if you get their IP tuner you should have something that lasts a long time.
