Skystar 2 - TVserver service VS Setup4PC / Server4PC (2 Viewers)

[defcon5]

Hi "MPmens"

Did you know than Technisat software (Setup4PC / Server4PC) can´t live together with Tvserver service?
From I am using Tv server I warned the little green/red (world) icon at Toolsbar was missing.
I think is not important but I use Progdvb and sometimes program say me "Skystar2 not found". I would like to comment here.
Anybody has noticed this issue?

Hola Defcon5 , I've had the same problem, but installing the bda driver 4.4.1 , you don't use the setup4pc, and in my opinion the card works better, no more analog card instead of dvb-s problem, and faster channel change.
The only problem is that some dvb softs doesn't recognize the card with the bda driver, but I prefer mediaportal and since I have made it work with the plugins I need there is no problem.

Hola dareh
Thanks for your advice
I´ve installed the Skystar 2 Beta drivers, but no BDA drivers
My OS is xp sp2 and think than BDA drivers is for MCE, isn´t is?
Is recommended install BDA drivers for MP/TVserver with XP?
days ago, I proved install BDA drivers and I warned a difference:
while normal drivers XP recognize like a Network card, BDA drivers were recognize like a Devices sound, games. Is this normal? Will run fine with MP?
with my DVB drivers MP change between channels in 2 seconds same DVB card and 4 seconds jumping between differents cards (more or less)
I use Progdvb for "gardeners affairs"only

Yeah totaly agree will all the above points BDA drivers seem much better. Im running XP Pro SP2. All Good. Had funny problem tho where I had to remove all cards from MP when using TVPlugin otherwise blue screen, bug analisys pointed back to the BDA driver. Good luck

Hola defcon5 with bda change between channels of the same card is less than 1 second for me and between cards more or less 4 seconds.
About gardening, changing is faster too, but I am still testing this.
I'm not able to make the bda work under progdvb, but dvbdream works very well.
I think the rest of the dvb programs will be giving suport for bda as it is the standard to come.

Saludos
Dareh.

[dareh]

I don't use hybernate at all fulltime working server, no BSOD so far.
what do you mean with "bda dvb-s device" ?

dareh.

 

[defcon5]

Thanks Rhys
Are you recommend me, unistall DVB drivers and install BDA driver for improve behavior of Skystar 2 on MP?

ammm:

and install Progdvb v 4.81 or upper?

will it work fine with both programs?

Now, the solution is disable Tvserver service and then get run Progdvb

dareh
you have to go to settings menu, device list and start bda dvb-s (or similar) device instead of skystar2

defcon5
I'm using fine both mp (standalone not tvserv er) and progdvb with bda drivers!

I suppose also greater versions than 4.81.1 works fine with ss2 bda, but I haven't tryed

bye
