Notes:
i.
On TBS-6903/6908 to get adapter 0 use the lower plug.
ii.
The external power plug is optional. It needs to be used in very rare cases when there is
no enough power from PCIe slot. (The LNB Input on TBS cards can provide 450mA. If
the user has only LNB connected on the coaxial cable, then the external power is not
needed as one LNB is on average 100mA. If there are things like motor, DiSEqC devices
on the same coaxial cable, then the power consumption can go up and external power be
needed).
