==Making it Work==
The device is actively supported to run under Linux. Every few months the driver gets updated, and the company actively supports users through a forum.
By downloading, compiling and installing the drivers and firmware, the device works (at least, in my distro, Fedora 14 x86-64). Together with the manufacturer-supplied source code for scanning and zapping (slightly modified versions of scan-s2 and szap-s2) DVB-S2 reception works. Newer versions of szap and scan work just as well.

===Firmware===
The driver software package contains the firmware file: dvb-usb-tbsqbox-id5980.fw. Just install it in /lib/firmware.

===Drivers===
Available [http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/Download.html here]. Look for the TBS5980 driver. Latest update: july 10. Apart from the firmware file, there is no closed-source object code included in the software. All code has been released under GPLv2.

===Sample Kernel Output===
The kernel outputs the information below, CAM module inserted (with module verbosity wide open):
