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

Sounds familiar.
I'm using TBS octa DVB-T(2)/DVB-C tuner card, which is streaming the channels to my LAN (by using Tvheadend, Mumudvb, or Astra), but I was also frustrated about compiling the driver for it whenever there was a kernel update (https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media). Eventually I created a Debian virtual machine and configured the tuner device available for it by using AMD IOMMU and Qemu/KVM PCI pass through. It has worked very well, and there's no need to update the kernel if you don't care about the security and vulnerabilities ;D
The card I'm using: Multimedia controller [0480]: TBS Technologies DVB-S2 4 Tuner PCIe Card [544d:6178]
