TerraTec Cinergy HTC USB XS HD (1 Viewer)

regarding the analogue part, anyone managed to make it work FLAWLESS?

i installed mpeg encoder, but sound is cracking and stuttering. sometimes image freeze and there is some general instabilty.

please if u have any suggestion report, so we can make this card work well

has there being any updates to this or is channel changeing still slow?

looking to get a usb dvb-c card

little bump to ask: moving from vista to xp would make things work better?

what else can we try to avoid that stuttering?

Hi to all,

a new BDA driver version 5.9.304.0 is avalible!

TerraTec - Produkte - TV - Hybrid (Analog + Digital) - TerraTec

This BDA version looks very good. If you install this version you have 3 TV cards in the server list and
it works fine (I make tests for DVB-C) no other tool is needed.

Thanks Wadu,

is channelchange any faster with this driver ?

 

[Wadu]

When I change a channel the duration is 1,5 - 3 sec.
Its ok for me.

ciao

I am using this driver with the hauppauge hvr-930c. Channelchange is not slower than my dvb-t cards. But one big problem is the first-time tune. That allways failes with no signal. Recordings do fine but switching to live-tv causes the no signal message. If i press tv on again everything is just fine.

Vista makes nothing better. Even for me the card worked better in XP!

somehow this new driver makes my usb card even more instable. now it can stay powered up for more than 2 days without a crash
the terratec video app hangs and only a reboot (after disconect and reconect the card) can restore its functions.

rolling back to bunled drivers (i need only analogue part)

btw anyone tested it with latest mp? (the analoge part ofc)

the instabilty was due to the 4m usb cable, which is quite unstable at high summer temperatures, was working well during winter, now it crashes the card often...

testing further
