[TV] Automatic Detection of Hybrid Cards (1 Viewer)

Do you also need TBS logs?

 

[mm1352000]

but I found some differences...

Yes, that is in agreement with the information that we have.
1x = DVB-S tuner
2x = virtual WMC DVB-C tuner
3x = DVB-C tuner
4x = DVB-T tuner

x0 = first tuner of type x
x1 = second tuner of type x
etc.

The problem is that this information doesn't tell us that the tuners are hybrid. In other words, unless I knew what a Cine CT was, I might guess that you had 4 independent tuners. Or alternatively, if you also had a Cine S2 with ids 10 and 11 I might guess that you had 2 hybrid DVB-C/T/S tuners.

Do you also need TBS logs?

Yes please.

hmm I installed the WMC virtual DVB-T driver but there is no device appearing inside the TvConfiguration... Maybe it is really only for WMC, I don't know... If you have an ide let me know

The logs from DVB-C only are atteched just in case you can get any information from that...

Hmm, that is strange. It should work for MP as well. Obvious question: you restarted the TV service after doing that, correct? Possibly might also need to restart the PC.

Yeah, thanks - I can, and it looks promising.

With your DD card there were no tuner instance IDs. If this tuner has one then I suspect TBS tuners would be supported.

I restarted the whole pc several times and double checked that the driver is installed... i also installed this virtual driver two times and the normal tbs driver for windows. And i couldn't find any config tool like the one from dd. the dvb-t card doesn't appear in the device manager but under installed programs i see the driver is installed...

 

[mm1352000]

I wonder what GraphStudio and your registry shows. Maybe DVB-T is added as an [extra] tuning mode for the tuner, without adding a second virtual BDA source.
Maybe I can try my TBS 6284 with the combined driver later. It is just a pain because I have to switch PCs, TV cards and GPU just to test it.
...but don't worry about it for now. I need to go to bed.

 

[FreakyJ]

Yeah was already wondering that you are still awake xD
If you want access to the machine just ask me so you don't have to change everything at your machine
also if I should ask steven just let it me know.
I will try to help you where I can so that you get a bit more sleep and less stress

Hauppauge card

Thanks azzuro
Unfortunately it seems we're not able to detect that your tuner is hybrid.

name = Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-T Tuner/Demod
device path = @devicenp:\\?\stream#hcw88bda2.m94xx#5&165be9ba&1&2#{71985f48-1ca1-11d3-9cc8-00c04f7971e0}\{91b0cc87-9905-4d65-a0d1-00a0c9f21fc7}
tuner instance ID = 10

name = Hauppauge WinTV 88x Tuner
device path = @devicenp:\\?\stream#hcw88tun.hcwpnp#5&165be9ba&1&1#{a799a800-a46d-11d0-a18c-00a02401dcd4}\global
tuner instance ID = 10

As you can see, the TunerInstanceID matches... but the device patch card identifier is different (so we think that the tuners are on different cards).

I have contacted Hauppauge again to ask about these strange device paths and if there is an alternative solution for your card.

@azzuro please can I have a quick look on your TV Server with GraphStudio and regedit?
