Default Regarding two Twinhan cards, problem solved

Hi,

I was having toruble to get two Twinhans to work together. I bought another card (TerraTec Cinergy C HD) and now I am using Twinhan & Terratec.

It seems that these cards are using the same chipset (or very similar revisions) Mantis is mentioned.

I believe in these two explanations:

1. Twinhan and Twinhan does not work well together (implicates hardware/pnpid/whatever), Twinhan & terratec do work together better.
2. Cinergy did install a slightly older version of the driver (it seems that both manufacturers use the chipset vendor oem driver with usual name changes etc.)

Now if I were truly methodical, I would try the terratec driver with the other Twinhan, but I will leave it to the next HTPC I build for someone :-)

you should avoid cards from Twinhan and TerraTec in general.
their price is as low as their quality, and you see now first hand which "funny" issues they can cause......

And there will always be exceptions to the rules. I have had multiple issues with the Floppy DVB-C card but not a single issue with Twinhan DVB-C card during last 1,5 years

This fix dosn't work for me. I copied the files to a safe location (c:\dvbfix) and ran the registration file.

My system is Windows XP SP3 with all the trimmings, as written in the wiki

In DirectX DiagTool the file version is still 6.05.2600.5512 - also after a reboot..

Any idea?

I am not sure, but if i would get the german patch, even its included in sp3, the team can not offer it in the DL section if i remember correctly. I think ms doesnt like that much. If this should be no problem just sent me a pm with needed KB numbers and i will have a look at what i can do. Shouldnt be a big problem.

Is there another download location for the dvbfix.rar file? Been waiting for over an hour to download it. Was only getting 13 bytes/sec and it seems to of stopped now

Also just to confirm, do I need to install this for each of my Media Portal clients. Or just the Media Portal TV server?

generally speaking on the PC which contains your TV-Cards. but installing it on all PCs is a good idea too.
