[QUOTE="BioEgo, post: 1130664, member: 74791"] Hi all, I've recently bought a Terratec Cinergy T2 HD Stick DVB-T/T2 USB tuner (specs here [PDF] [URL]http://www.terratec.it/prodotti/tv/Cinergy_T2_Stick/caratteristiche.pdf[/URL]) but unfortunately I'm not able to tune any channel in MePo (1.10.0 Final). The tuner works fine with its own software (DVBViewer Terratec Edition). This stick is based on eMPIA USB 28179 (the same used in the PCTV292e), and should be recognized as two different tuners (DVB-T and DVB-T2): that's true in DVBViewer but TVServer only shows one (DVB-T2). Trying to scan for channels works but since there are no T2 broadcast in my area at the moment nothing is found. When using DVBViewer I'm able to tune using the DVB-T one and it finds 400+ channels. I also tried to install ARGUS TV 2.3: it seems to correctly find both components but it recognizes the T2 part as a DVB-C card (not really surprising since in the .inf file the DVB-T2 part is referred to as BDATunerC): when scanning with the DVB-T component it skims rapidly through all the frequencies and no result is given (I doubt it even tries to tune, it's definitely too fast). A similar behavior is also found in TVServer if I set the card provider to Dvbt instead than Generic. I tried looking at the logs and I found the following part which might be a good lead in finding whats wrong: [code][2015-03-24 21:00:53,193] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Detected new digital BDA tuner device CINERGY T2 Stick HD DVB-T2 Tuner @device:pnp:\\?\usb#vid_eb1a&pid_8179#0#{71985f48-1ca1-11d3-9cc8-00c04f7971e0}\{b50b8116-da24-4f97-80d1-00451702c5f7} [2015-03-24 21:00:53,208] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - check type with MS NP [2015-03-24 21:00:53,240] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - network type count = 1 [2015-03-24 21:00:53,255] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - network type 0 = 216c62df-6d7f-4e9a-8571-05f14edb766a [2015-03-24 21:00:53,271] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - tuner type = DvbT [2015-03-24 21:00:53,271] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Controller: add device CINERGY T2 Stick HD DVB-T2 Tuner @device:pnp:\\?\usb#vid_eb1a&pid_8179#0#{71985f48-1ca1-11d3-9cc8-00c04f7971e0}\{b50b8116-da24-4f97-80d1-00451702c5f7} [2015-03-24 21:00:53,287] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - Controller: creating standard handler [2015-03-24 21:00:53,302] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - Controller: current timeshifting folder is "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\timeshiftbuffer" [2015-03-24 21:00:53,318] [Log ] [TVService] [INFO ] - Detected new digital BDA tuner device CINERGY T2 Stick HD DVB-T Tuner @device:pnp:\\?\usb#vid_eb1a&pid_8179#0#{71985f48-1ca1-11d3-9cc8-00c04f7971e0}\{7c8095ab-c110-40e5-9f4d-310858bbbf64} [2015-03-24 21:00:53,318] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - check type with MS NP [2015-03-24 21:00:53,349] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - network type count = 0 [2015-03-24 21:00:53,365] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - check type with specific NPs [2015-03-24 21:00:53,396] [Log ] [TVService] [DEBUG] - failed to connect to specific NP[/code] It seems that both components are found (device paths are consistent to the one I've seen in the DVBViewer configuration) but the DVB-T one is discarded since it cannot identify the correct network type. I tried forcing the card in the database and it shows up as "unknown", so no good there. I've tried both the drivers provided by Terratec (5.2013.0725.0) and the one for the PCTV292e (5.2013.1206.0) which are newer, but to no avail. Any suggestion? I'd really would like to avoid buying another tuner, and I'm definitely not dumping MePo! I've attached all the logs from TV Server Log folder, let me know if something else is needed. At 21:01:33 I've started a scan with the Dvbt provider (result = no signals and very rapid skimming of the frequencies), while at 21:10:28 I've started a new scan using the Generic provider (longer scan, still no signal).
