Hi,
The STV6120 data says it works from 250-2150MHz. Crazyscan, TBS etc will not allow <950MHz Is there any way to get the TBS6983 to tune below 950MHz?

You can use my open source drivers to do so. TBS could maybe change it to, it's a simple setting

Many thanks. I found references to 250MHz in your code when I did a search but I'm a Linux noob. I went through the postings on Rick's forum but ended up a bit confused. Is there and idiots guide? I am using Crazyscan and EBSpro on WinXP & Win 7 but I have Mint 17.2 for the TBS6983 PC or could build a disk for any distro. Do I need Linux 4.1.0-rc3 kernel? If so which distro to you recommend to use as the base?

@TBS - Any chance that you can change the Win drivers? Please?

Hi Dave7

As we know that not know the driver but also the tools will check the frequence whether is small than 950M,you can send an email to our support#tbsdtv.com we can discuss how to do it.

Thanks

Kind Regards

Thanks to Davin from support. Apparently the driver supports <950MHz:
"Our chip and driver all can support you input the frequency that less than 950MHZ. but i think many software limits the frequency input range(950M~2150M)."
Is there any Windows s/w that allows tuning below 950MHz?

change if freq range in StreamReader.ini (IFStart,IFStop).

Code: Select All Code

IFStart=250
IFStop=2150


Crazycat, many thanks and for your software.
This may be obvious but how do the LNBmid and LNBStk parameters work?

specific LOF freq limits for C-band and Ka-band LNB, used for IF Freq calculation:
#define IF_FREQM(X) (((LOF>LNB_MID) && (LOF<LNB_STK)) ? (X-LOF) : (LOF-X))
#define FREQM(X) (((LOF>LNB_MID) && (LOF<LNB_STK)) ? (LOF+X) : (LOF-X))

Thanks once more

sorry waking the thread for an old but a great card, tbs6983.
STV6120 can tune up till 2450 .. At very edge it s struggling to get lock.. here is my tbs6983.
over 2450mhz there is nothing (though the driver alows us to go up up up..)
