Technotrend 1500-C and QAM 256 - Page 2

jcee · 2006-11-14, 07:54

Our house was equipped with new cables last year and with new amplifiers, so they should be fine. We are 6 parties in one house. I went to the basement and changed my line to the highest output port on the amplifier and switch.. to no success..

I also have new cables in all my rooms, so I guess it is not a mater of signal strength or muting..

I read in another (MCE) forum, that others do have problems with QAM 256 as well. They said it clearly is a problem of TT drivers..
They have experimented with cabeling to no success..

I can recieve all QAM256 and QAM64 channels, but they are stuttering very very much.. :-(

So I am concidering to by a different card with better drivers/support. I do need BDA for MP (as far as I know), and there are not many DVB-C cards with CI+CAM support, so I wonder which ones really work fine with MP..

I concider: FloppyDTV (expensive!!), KNC1 (does this support CAM/CI?), Twinhan (does that have CAM/CI)?

Yes, the Twinhan Cab-CI has a CI.
I want to try out this card too.
But at this time, I can not tell you much about it.

any news? otherwise I will go buying me a Twinhan card...

No news from technotrend. There is no new driver version. And so, nothing changed.

If you try the twinhan, could you give me info how it works?
If it works fine, I would buy one too.

Hey that what be great, dman. I was already about to by a new (=different) card.
In the past the TT budget was not bad, but though they advertise QAM256 support it does not really work.

I have read different post in differents boards, they all complain about the same problem.

I will wait a while, but if no one comes up with a solution I will have to buy me a different card. Xmas is coming closer and it would be nice the watch TV in the winter period,...

Any news welcome..

Try the 4.4.10.18 drivers in the 1072 download from Technotrend's site.
