The card is simply crap at least if you rely on the advertised specs! I've written many times about the poor performance and misleading advertisements but except that some of my post were removed from the board nothing has happened.

When can we expect a driver/firmware that works according to the specs published by TBS?

..any new development concerning the issues with the 8921? If not I'll dump it

yes, reliable locks of VLSR carriers with V1.0.1.12

Even direct tuning with tsreader is possible, though it will result in a long time out, if not successful. But this will be only a concern for users, who are trying to receive vlsr Blind scan speed is still reasonably fast.

look at sotos65 screenshot with 331 KS/s SR. maybe he was just lucky and/or he has a better S/N than I have ;) Further he confirms the issue as does @Tempo. With my setup, V1.0.1.11 provides 0% locks for 334kbaud compared to 100% with V1.0.1.8 and Prof7500 (locking is more reliable). @DVB you want ...

If any future drivers update will decrease speed to old possibilities, I won't update drivers anymore and stay with 1.0.1.11 I'm not talking about blind scan but about the locking capabilty of VLSR_carriers which is lost with 1.0.1.11. These carries of <500kbaud were never found by blind scan. Talk...

If that's the company's policy I'd recommend to purchase much cheaper cards from other manufacturers. Btw. this is not about blind scan but about locking of VLSR carriers as such.

Each update driver solve a problem, but it seems that create others,and one of them is these low sr.! ..it seems that some manufacturers create more new problems than they solve ;) In this case I don't understand that 1.0.1.11 has been officially released while still under investigation » Sun Sep 1...

@satesco, thx for your tests

These very_low_sr_feeds are difficult cos some are spaced <1MHz apart. So far altdvb seems to be the best application.


Your signal is a little bit better than mine
