Hello
Thanks for quick reply. But i notice that my TBS 6290 DVBT2 dual tuner was not part in your list but I guess the patch for mediaportal 1,6 and newer works fine or?

Hello
I read the installer instructions for the patch 1,6. it says that i shall backup 3 files tswriter.ax, tvlibrary.dll and tvlibrary.interfaces.dll and to be replaced with the patch, but the patch have tbsCIapi.dll tvlibrary.dll and tvlibrary.interfaces.dll ok the 2 last have now replace the old ones but what about tbsCIapi and tswriter.ax ? shall I remove tswriter.ax or? . Instructions says also 2 folders, media portal TV server and mediaportal install folder, do you mean same folder here or ? ( I have dedicated TV server)

Not removing the tswriter.ax and the tbsciapi.dll is additional

Hello Liss

We received an email from TBS support today.

Current understanding is that TBS 6290 should work in MediaPortal if you install the patch correctly:

1. Open TV Server configuration.
2. Go to the "manual control" section and click "stop service".
3. Close TV Server configuration.
4. Open Windows Explorer.
5. Navigate to the TV Server install directory (default c:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server).
6. Take a backup of TVLibrary.dll and TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll.
7. Download and extract the patch with the 3 files into the TV Server install directory. Forget about TsWriter.ax (only relevant for very old versions of the patch).
8. Start the TV service.

Are you still having problems?

If so, first please ensure the TBS MCE CI tool is closed or not installed, and then restart the TV service.

Ensure that the CAM is enabled:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...nfiguration/02_TV_Servers#Edit_Tuner_Settings

Try to access the CI/CAM menu in TV Server configuration:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...guration/02_TV_Servers/3_Scan_DVB-S/2_CI_Menu

If the CI/CAM menu doesn't work then either:

• the CAM is not compatible with the TBS CI slot
• the patch is not installed correctly
• the patch doesn't support TBS 6290

Please post the TV Server log files.

1. Open TV Server configuration.
2. Click "open log directory" in the top left corner.
3. Zip all the files in that folder.
4. Post/attach the zip file here.

About the HD channels...
My understanding is that BOXER are using CI+ with pairing for the HD channels. If that is true, there is no CAM/CI or tuner that will enable you to decrypt those channels in MediaPortal:
