Problem with terratec H7 usb dvb-c (1 Viewer)

Hi Im new to this forum so sorry if this is in the wrong forum
Im having trouble with showing live tv with my terratec H7.

My problem in short: I always get "unable to create graph" in My TV when trying to look at live tv.

MPEG2 Video Codec: Gabest
MPEG2 Audio Codec: Gabest? I think.... stil struggling with main tv setup sound is not the issue now
h.264 Video Codec: CoreAvc - but not installed yet only testing with SD channels
Satelite/CableTV Provider: CD
HTPC Case:

TV - HTPC Connection

So the long story.....
I hva been strugglin for several weeks now but no sucess.
DVBviever is recieving and showing all my channels - so the dvb-c card and cam is actually working.

Ive tried win764 - win764 SP1 (but gets error when isntalling MP 1.1.3) - win 32 - win 32 SP1
Currently running win7 32, with only MP 1.1.2 and terratec drivers installed - no other codecs for now.-

After installing MP and the trerratec drivers, MP detects the card(s) and MP scans and finds all the channels.
Ive tried disabling the CAM support for the card(s) in tv.server setup
Ive tried disabling the dvb-t tuner in tv.server setup - running with only one of the hybrid tuners (dvb-c)
Ive tried running with both tuners active in tv.server setup (but sinse my signal is dvb-c, only one of the tuners is used anyway)
Ive also tried using the terratec without both the cam in the ci module and my smartcard from my cable supplier.

In my logfiles the same fault always shows:
Timeout after approx 10 secs
Waiting for PMT - try to increase.....
I have tried increasing the timeout value in tv.server setup - but with no luck


My suggestions to the cause of the problem
1) The cam is not supported - but then why am I not able to tune to my free to air channels?

2) When searching for channels - an alert about a missing codec is shown, this may logicly only interfer with my initial channek tuning becuse when testing the free to air channels they are all Mp2 and supported by the default .ts codec (gabest) in MP - right?

I know from reading the forums, this and others that many have succeded usin the terratec h7 with MP.
I also know that the dreaded "wait for pmt" has been an issue in erlier builds of MP - but thougt that they where solved?

This is driving me nuts.....
Any suggestions?

Several logfiles attatched - for each state in the prosess....


MP is great - i have seen it fully functional

Hi there

Terratec tuners have an unusual behaviour where some drivers refuse to retune if they think they are already tuned to the correct frequency. See this thread for more information. The same problem mentioned in that thread looks like it is a big part of your problem. Follow the instructions in this post and your problems should be solved. Note that the patch in the post is only for MP 1.1.2. If you're using a different version then let me know and I'll make a new patch for that version. You could also try using the most up-to-date drivers from Terratec...

Thank You - thank You - Thank You



Dont know if it works yet, my wife is having her birthday this whole weekend.......
Will test and post back as soon as possible during next week.
Glad to see that there is a possible reason for my trouble.

Thank again!!!!!

BTW - Thank You for your work on making the CI modules for the terratec PCI HD working.

Hi again ogir_xx
I just wanted to let you know that we have put a fix into 1.2.0b that should fix the issue that you experienced.

Is this to bee understood as a permanent solution for 1.2.0b and the following releases: 1.2.0 and onwards?
