Hi again burton666

Sorry for the delayed response - I've had a much needed week off from MediaPortal work. I got your PM though so I will attempt to find some time to log into your TV Server tomorrow while you're asleep and do some testing.

Hi everyone

Big apologies for the delay in response. I have had a very busy month! I'm posting here again to tell you about the patch that I've posted -->here<--. I hope it will fix the DiSEqC issues with the TBS6984 (and other newer products) so I'd really encourage you to test. I need your feedback.

Have annyone tried TBS6984 with pay tv?
Do I need 4 x Ci, cam and tv provider cards?

annyone?

Not tried mine with Pay TV as I no longer subscribe to Sky UK. I think you need CI slots on the card to access Pay TV, and there are none on the 6984. However TBS do other cards with CI slots.

Hi all,

just want to say that the new driver for tbs6984 version 1.0.2.4 does not work for me. Mediaportal shows only 2 (A and B) instead of 4 tuners.
1.0.2.3 shows all 4 tuners (A, B, C, D).

//
Just called the "tbs gmbh" and told them the problem with the new driver.
The man said that they will have a look at this.

Anyone is also expericencing problems with 1.0.2.4?

 

[SciDoctor]

Yes someone I know has seen poblems and reverted (edit) drivers to 1.0.2.3

Also their latest TBS 6284 1.0.0.6 is utter garbage (completely unstable) 1.0.0.5 being rock solid. (from personal testing)

Looks like they dropped the ball on their latest releases!

 

[helloh]

If someone else is having problems with drivers from tbs technology, please call them and ask for an update. If more people are complaining about their drivers the faster the next update comes.

//
Reverted to 1.0.2.3? Or has he/she another card?

//
I just did a complete reinstall of windows and mediaportal. Now I have all 4 tuners with 1.0.2.4.
