Hi all,

I have tried getting the above card to work. For some reason the configuration utility crashes when i do a channel scan. Has anyone got any ideas for me to try? the card uses a philips SAA7130 chipset.

thanks,

Same Card Same Problem

I have the same tuner card and the configuration doesn't find it, kinda sucks since under supported card it says philips. I went thru the capturecarddefinitions xml file and the tvtuner chipset (SAA7130) is in there, yet i have no idea why it isnt working.... depression since so far everything else has worked fine.

MP1 MP2 Issue after replacing tuner DE
Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.
