DVB-C and UPC digital - success story or the opposite (1 Viewer)

[LXB]

Hi there,

i´m living in vienna/austria and am a proud user of media portal.
during th last year i´ve made many experiences and had many good and also some bad hours with MP but i´ve been learning a lot at the extensive researching in this forum (many thanks to all of you!).

know that mp does almost all i´ve been expecting, the problems around it come to show.

although i´ve been searching around, i didn´t find a solution or at least the negative confirmation for the dvb-c question:

is it possible to use a HTPC with MP (is there any other ;-)) with upc as dvb-c provider?

please with a little description why and how!

many many TIA for your work and answers!

yours, LX.

I don't know which encryption system(Viacess, Conax etc etc) that UPC in Austria uses but I would have a look at FloppyDTV/FireDTV produced and developed by your countrymen at Digital Everywhere.

http://www.digital-everywhere.com

They can probably answer your questions if their product works with UPC.

Cheers,
Martin

thank you, i will try!
cheers, LX.

 

[LXB]

well, tried your suggestion but absolute no response yet ;-(
obviously thei´re not interested in tis topic!
you don´t know how i can check it out? support upc told me just that they don´t have those specification.
bad thing...

just to keep you interested ones up to date:

because of peter h. from digital-everywhere, who made a special offer to me, i ordered a fireDTV DVB-C box and a belkin 1394 controller for my htpc.

i hope it will work with my special cable provider - upc ;-)

as soon as i´ve got the parts i´ll post my experiences (next week hopefully?).

cheers. LX.
ps: greetings from sunny vienna/austria..

I don't know about Austria, but in Sweden UPC requires you to use one of their set-top-boxes for DVB-C. The boxes have some kind of ID in them that is used to decrypt the signal. Or something like that. Note very HTPC-friendly.

The first FireDTV impressions...

hi there, as promised, here the first results:

unpacked the belkin firewire card, installed, xp suddenly recognised it and installed the drivers, so far so good.

then the firedtv (thanks to peter from digital.every!). as told in the small setup guide, i took the coax cable and plugged into firedtv´s INPUT, took the delivered coax cable and plugged from OUTPUT into my UPC STB INPUT.

First tried the Motorola STB function and it still works. so the "loop through" of the firedtv seems to be OK, and cabling too.

Then connected the firewire cable to fireDTV and my new firewire controller. as written in the setup manual i cancelled the windows xp installation and ran the setup from cd. everything fine. finally i did reboot the pc, u know...

after reboot i ran the "mytheater" application and let it scan for "all"...
after about 15 minutes, it told me that there where 118 channels found....

but: none of them show a tv picture :-( only a chirp sound at some, and often messages like "changed picture format" and "no audio track"..

sad but true...
i´ll contact support from dig.everywh. but i don´t think there is a lot of hope so far...

I am also interested in using a DVB-C card in vienna. did you resign or could you make it work in the last month?

 

[LXB]

hi patos,
unfortunately i didn´t have enough time due to some big projects at work at the moment. because of the "money back guarantee" i had to return the firedtv. as some other guys stated there are possibilities to get dvb-c with some upc digital channels working. but there i no list of which one just a frequency list of a guy (see below). most of the channels seem to be crypted by mediacypher which seems to be a m*t*r*la proprietary standard.
if you have time it would be very nice if you´ll test and post a channel list, which ones are "open" and which not.
to support your testing i post the channel listing, but remember, no gurantee and not from me.
many thanks for all of you and have a nice testing ;-)
