DVB-S2 card for MediaPortal with proper Diseqc 1.2 support (4 Viewers)

[gurabli]

Just to be sure, how can I check this? Tune to a FTA channel, and I try to tune a channel on a same transponder from a different client? If it works, then YES, if not, then NO?

you got it

I try to help as much as I can, I have received so much help from devs and the community. I know my contribution is not as much here, but at least I can help others with a decent DVB-S2 card.

Nice to hear that We are also happy about every help regardless how small it is

Excellent! I will be back with information right after I managed to test it.

If DJBlu sends me the USALS patch, I will be more then happy to test it! It is such a great thing to have working USALS, it makes finding sats a very easy task!

The multi-channel decoding referenced in that table is referring to simultaneous decryption of multiple encrypted channels with a single tuner. It doesn't make sense to talk about this for tuners/cards that don't have a CI/CAM.

All tuners except those that require PID filtering can support timeshift/record of multiple FTA channels with a single tuner.

Sorry, I missed the encrypted channels part. Well, then this card probably doesn't support it, as no CI/CAM can be connected to the card.

We are left with only DiSEqC switch option that needs to be confirmed by somebody who has this card and a switch.

No problem - no need to apologise. We are happy to collaborate with you and grateful for your assistance!

If motor control works then switch control will definitely work.

Well, then we have all the data needed for Wiki

I must say, the card is very fast on channel change an tuning. Motor control is excellent , additional power supply for this is also very good to have (not to drain power from the PCIe slot), it looks that standby/resume is working without any issues. The price is very attractive too. Time will tell how much will the card last, but I do not experience any heat issues at all (like one other user did, although he has the dual tuner version).

Thanks, everything is in the wiki

Sorry mm, that was my bad :/ Didn't know that it was referring only to cards with cam, but as I read your comment it made quite a lot sense for me

I have just spotted a mistake on my side: the correct cards supported from DVBSky should be S950/952 and NOT S960. Sorry for this. The S950/952 are PCIe versions, while the S960 are USB tuners. I mixed up the numbers
(I guess S960 is also supported, since it should be the same card, but on USB not PCIe, but somebody will check this who actually has a USB version).

I see that the card model is still not corrected in wiki, making that misleading. I do not seam to be able to edit, so please change DVBSky to S950/952 and remove S960!


BTW, motor is still working perfecly, and I very much hope it will do so for long-long time!
As motor control is not the best in MP and there is no USALS support, I have used DVBViewer Transedit to set up satellites with USALS, and stored each sat in MP motor config. Now I have a fully functional system

I have some problems with the remote and fanarts, but hope these could be sorted out soon.

If you guys work on USALS support, I will be able to help in testing.

I'm still on my mobile, so hopefully I won't forget it later oO
But thank you for reporting
