Hi,
new user here and wrong subforum, but with the same problem.
I have a DD Max S8 card and can't get it to scan anything.
In the same PC is a DD CineS2 V6.5 working flawlessly (okay not with unicable yet).

My only and biggest problem is: I'm using MP2 and there is not a corresponding satelite xml which i can addapt.
Yeah i know, no Log files yet ( I have some, but there is a whole lot of experiments visible which may not help)
Some one asked if the device details allow to see that it is a MaxS8. I will look them up and answer here.

Edit:
added a Screenshot of the deviceids.
Blue marked are CineS2 and red are the maxS8

Hmmm, so your setup is reasonably complex. :)

I think this part might be the problem:


Since you're using Windows 7 or newer, it should be possible to achieve successful tuning with transponder file modifications only:
  • replace "ModQpsk" with "ModNbcQpsk"
  • replace "Mod8Psk" with "ModNbc8Psk"
  • replace "ModNotSet" with "ModQpsk"
Attached is a transponder file with the required modifications. Please try it and let me know if it works.

Hi All,

I have been having exactly the same issue with my Mas S8 card - the above fixes it but I was wandering if there was ever goig to be a permanent fix?

4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

To other people reading about this 'issue', Doskabouter provided me with a fix/patch. It is a modified version of tswriter.ax which solved the problem with dolby digital plus audio. I want to thank Doskabouter for all his time and energy he put into resolving this!!

Brief update... Hauppauge support responded quickly, stating that the "driver for all of our product confirm to the BDA format". Not sure what that means, but to test that, I downloaded a copy of Capture4Me, and indeed, it switches LNBs without any issues with minimal configuration (just set DiSEqC to 1.x A/B/C/D and select the...

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
