[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1165770, member: 82144"] Okay. :) Hmmm. Providing support and finding compatible drivers for Elgato tuners is actually [B]very [/B]confusing. For the EyeTV Sat... The latest driver available from the Elgato website - 1.12.00.65 - is a PBDA driver, and is definitely not compatible with TVE 3. It might not even be compatible with W10 (due to removal of WMC). The driver may be compatible with TVE 3.5 in future, but for now you definitely can't use it. So which driver [I]can[/I] you use? Elgato don't seem to provide links to their older drivers on their website. However you can direct-download one of them (1.00.06.401) here: [URL]http://dl.elgato.com/windows/drivers/sat/EyeTV_Sat_10006401.exe[/URL] Based on the feedback in the other thread and your earlier feedback in this thread I'd expect that one to work with TVE 3 on XP, Vista, 7 and 8. For W10 I don't know. It may also be possible to use drivers from other vendors. TV Server thinks both the EyeTV Sat and EyeTV Sat Free tuners support the Twinhan/Azurewave proprietary interface for DiSEqC, LNB settings, and DVB-S2 tuning. That same interface is used by TerraTec. That's why I'm not really surprised that Elgato are providing the TerraTec Home Cinema software for people to use on Windows.
