2 TechniSat SkyStar 2 TV Problem

dlorenz70 · 2007-06-12, 23:10

Today I upgraded my MediaCenter PC with a second SkyStar2 card. Before everything worked fine with the first SkyStar2. Now the new card is not recognized by the MediaPortal Setup program.
When I want to add the card I only get the error message:
No video capture card(s) were found, you won't be able to configure a capture card.

I installed the patches from the Microsoft web site to solve the problem with the DirectShow filter. After installing the patches the DVBViewer application works properly with the two cards (I can start the program twice, choose different channels and so on).

I saw a similar request (but no answer so far):

My MediaPortal Version is 0.2.2.0.

Thanks in advance

Did you try the BDA drivers?

With the BDA driver directly from the TechniSat homepage it worked.
After installing the BETA version my network card did not work anymore

So I needed to uninstall the driver of my network card and install a new driver from the Nvidia website.

But anyway, now everything works.

Thanks again for the very fast help.

Dieter
