questions regarding DVB-C drivers
Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2012 10:41 am
Hello,
I just bought a TBS6280 to have DUAL DVB-C - as is advertised allover the internet. DVB-T is not of much use in my region, DVB-T2 has no known status. But with the current drivers as of v1.0.0.7 I can't get DVBViewer to recognise it as DVB-C-Device, getting the message "no hardware available" when trying to scan. TBSViewer seems to scan, but doesn't find anything, despite whatever transponder list is selected. A full scan takes like hours and gets the same result. I found a comment at amazon.de, stating that the last version supporting DVB-C seems to be 1.0.0.3 - but that one is nowhere available. At least I couldn't find a source.
So, to get to the point: Is that behviour really related to the version of the driver and if, could that specific version be obtained anywhere/anyhow or will there be a new version 'fixing' that? I would really much appreciate a positive response, because I ordered the card overseas to get it. (If not, this would be the very first time I was against recent drivers on installation media. Yey!)
Oh, I have a Terratec Cinergy T PCIe Dual installed, too, and it's linked to the same cable - no problems with DVB-C there. But it's got only one DVB-C-Tuner.
EDIT:
Ok, found the driver at an online shop and it works. So most questions answered. BUT: Will there be any updated DVB-C Drivers? Will there ever be mixed drivers offering all DVB standards at hand? Last and final question: Are there any plans to add the DVB-C drivers to the driverdisc?
