No way you can run the motor/lnb off USB alone, no where near enough power coming from the USB port. Will the tuner even work off USB alone? I can't see it designed that way. UDL updatelee, the USB tuners have their own power supply so it's not supplying power to the motor/lnb from the PC. My CBAND...

TBS5980 based on well-known STV0903BAC+STB6100. Hi CrazyCat, I went back to using the 5922 instead of my 5980. I am not sure if its a driver/setting issue or my tuner is faulty but I found that the 5980 would seem to lock up often after blind scanning (Using EBSPRO). Also the blind scan on the 5980...

Just an update. I bought a new positioner. I can now move the dish using the PC. But it's not reliable. It works for some stored positions and not others using DVB Viewer. Using EasyBlindScan Pro it works much better. BTW is there enough power in the USB sat tuner (either TBS 5922 or TBS 5980) to po...

It works great with a 4x1 switch. I have a 85cm Ku band dish and the 2.3M Cband dish. Using DVB Viewer and the TBS5922 (or the TBS 5980) I can switch between both dishes fine. I've also tried windows 7 x64 as well but it didn't make any difference. I assume the TBS USB tuner is sending out the singa...

I received my 5980 it did not resolve my problem. Could it be my positioner box? I can't understand why it works fine with my Openbox x5 STB but not with either of my TBS USB tuners. I can tell it's a different type of tuner, blind scan seems slower but more accurate. A bit faster to change transpon...

Thanks for your advice crazycat.

I will order a TBS 5980 (as it's not too expensive though I won't use the CI slot) and see how that goes. I presume it has a different chipset then the TBS 5922 that works a bit differently?

Do you recommend I try a different positioner?
I just wonder what the Openbox X5 is able to do that the TBS5922 is not!

Hi Crazycat Thanks for the reply. Using Easy Blind Scan Pro, I have tried inserting "wait" and repeating DiseqC 1.2 position commands multiple times but it does not make any difference. I know the TBS5922 is sending DiseqC commands as my switch does work correctly. Using either Transedit/D...

Hi, I am enjoying my TBS5922 tuner. I am using the latest driver (V2.0.3.1). My main software is DVB Viewer (V5.1) and Easy Blind Scan Pro. Windows 8 Pro X64. I have a C BAND 2.3M dish with a VBOXII positioner. With my oOpenbox X5 STB I am able to move the dish using stored preset positions. I have ...
