Technotrend DVB-S2 3200

[Uli321]

Hi,

within the last SVN I thought to find support for my new TT S-3200 card. However, in the XML-file, only the USB-one is configured.

So, I searched around and found the following snippet on the dvbshop.net site.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<capturecards>

<capturecard commercialname="TechnoTrend S2-3200" capturename="TechnoTrend BDA/DVB Capture" devid="ven_1131&amp;dev_7146&amp;subsys_101913c2&a mp;rev_01">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
<tv>
<interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBS Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="TechnoTrend BDA/DVB-S Tuner" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="TechnoTrend BDA/DVB Capture" checkdevice="true"/>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/>
<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"/>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

</capturecards>

After I added these lines to the config XML file, my card was recognised by MP config dialog.

Maybe it could be added to the next MP SVN update.

Using the MP Version 0.2.0.0, update with Version 0.2.0.4 and the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml as describe by Uli321, I didn't succed to see this TT dvb card in the TV setup panel, (the card works with the TT satndart panel).

Where is my mistake?

Is anyone using the TT3200 with Budget CI and watching encrypted SD and HDTV channels using MediaPortal yet?

I'm thinking of buying one but still haven't found out for sure if it will work or not, so if someone is using this card with Mediaportal please post how it works. Thanks.

SD with MP & TVServer is not a problem.
HD with TVServer only however not with SkyHD at this time.
Other H.264 streams and encryption works but just not here with BSkyB with the TT3200...yet...

Note: You'll need an exceptionally fast system to view the 1080i content from BBC HD. i.e. Fastest Intel Core Duo, Nvidia 256MB 7600GS or better and 1GB RAM

@dman_lfc

would a system like this be any use to view HD content? ( with a better graphics card )

Dell Dimension E520 Core 2 Duo Processor E6300 (1.86Ghz, 1066MHz, 2MB
Memory: 1024MB DDR2 533 [2*512]
Hard Disk Drive: 250GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive
Video: Video card ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 256MB DVI/VGA output with 1xS-Video Output

Thanks

Yes should be with a better graphics accelerator and DXVA H.264 codec.

Yes, it works well with encrypted SD and MPEG-2 HD. However, I'm still searching for a way to get it to work with H.264 HD broadcasts.

I saw in the news that DVB-S2 support now has been added to the TV Server.

Has anyone with the TT3200 tested the new version and how it works with DVB-S2/H.264 channels? Is the CI also working well on encrypted DVB-S2/H.264 channels?
