Hi all,

After some weeks of discontinuos tests ... it remains one problem only with that TV adapter (it's a 3in1 BDA TV tuner: DVB-S, DVB-T and Analog):

In MP configuration is possible to see all 3 tuners, but after selecting and adding one of the BDA DVB tuners, the other DVB disappear from the list of available tuner !
Analog TV can always be added, and it doesn't interfere with DVB-T or S.

So, it's not possible to have both DVB-T and DVB-S together, but only one of them with analog TV.


TV Server can see and install all tree tuners, but I had with it many other problems ... radio ... frequency range ... etc..

Please developers .. don't forget Flydvb Trio users !!!

Bye

Hi,
I'm interested to buy this great card... Have you solved your problems with MP (no tv-server)? It's really a great card?

Thanks a lot,
Dado

Problems not solved,

with MP you can't install all three tuners together, but the analog and one of dvb-t or dvb-s.

IF you wants MP, you need a fast cpu ...I think a P4 3 Ghz or equivalent CPU, for analog TV expecially (it's software encoding), and also if you view only TV (without record or timeshift).

Analog video quality seems good, but I didn't made a comparison with other tuners. DVB quality is perfect, because it's digital !

The remote can't be used with MP, but only with the bundled tv software (that is moreover really BAD compared to MP or other frontends).
If you need a remote, you have to buy a standalone MCE remote.

I didnt' tested DVB-S within MP ... for now ...

I think this is not the right card for MP ... as you read there are some problems.

If you need 3 tuners would be better to buy a supported hybrid card with dvb-t/analog (with hardware encoding !!!), and a supported dvb-s card. It may cost a bit more ... but it should work at 100%.

Watch at jepssen.it, they have some other interesting Trio Tuners.

Bye.
