TBS 6920 DVB-S2 PCIe card (1 Viewer)

[evolution2]

TBS have stated that it should be release shortly with a full fix, the driver I have just has a quick patch and it will only work on WinXP x86.

Hi Quake

Could you send me the Driver some by email maybe? brendonhill@xtra.co.nz
I have the satelitte cable connected to port one and have channels from one transponder tuned to tuner one and channels from another transponder tuned to tuner two
Mostly works fine but randomly will not access any channels from tuner 1
Will be fine for days then may drop out 3 times a night.
Says "Unable to start timeshifting. Unable to start graph"
Restarting server gets it working again.
Have tried the two latest drivers both do the same

Thanks Brendon

I see TBS have just released a new driver for this card on their website Driver V1.0.0.12
Have installed this and will see how it goes

Hi

My fault is still occuring. At the moment it has come up with "Unable to start graph" again when trying to veiw any channel that is mapped to Tuner A of the card
Went into TV Server config rescanned and cant get anything from Tuner A. Scanned Tuner B and it works fine.
Restarted HTPC and rescanned Tuner A still not getting anything.
Can anyone tell me what are the 2 satelite connections for on the tuner card as I am only using port 1.
Both Tuner A and B have been workin fine with input into port 1

I'm using MP 1.0.2.0 and have done fresh installs
Have tried 3 drivers, all do the same

The two input ports on the back are for both tuners, tuner 1 is connected to the top input and tuner 2 is connected to the bottom input.

You will need two LNBs or one with two outputs.

Hi
If the two input are for each tuner how come with only input 1 connected to lnb I can successfully tune two tuners in mediaportal?
I am connected to input 1 so would think tuner A would be fine yet thats the tuner that craps out.
Seems to crap out more if i'm recording a channel from each tuner
Am working with TBS at the moment to sort it out also

Thanks
Brendon

I am considering this card also since it has dual tuners pcie and is reasonably priced. I have seen that on the website the following recommendation is given:
"Please update windows driver to V1.0.0.13 which fixes LNB1 scanning less transponders problem and frequency shifting problem."
Has anybody tried this driver version and if so does it sort the issue?
If not are there any other options currently available that are working in MP?

bakerpr, the V1.0.0.13 driver is working fine for me, I'm using the card in the most basic method, ie fixed dish just pointing to one sat.

It seems you are referring to TBS 6980 which is dual tuner, so i would share with this 3d what i'm discussing in another 3d: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tv-cards-333/tbs6980-dvb-s-s2-tuning-issue-diseqc-77808/

morpheus_xx: I suggest to merge the two 3ds in just one, since i'm understanding most of our issues are related to interaction between TBS drivers and TVServer generic BDA dev support.

ciao
