Thank you for the driver update, though what changed in this version?

It would be great to put some news on this - probably someone would not notice that the downloads section changed.

HI
Thanks for your advise. it is our negligence.
it was update the chip firmware. and fixed a bug which sometimes it can not locked on dvbt/t2 mode .

Best Regards

Do you have an TBS5580 home?
I have some Questions about.

yes i have. please feel free to ask.

I travel often from Hotel to Hotel and the Hotel TV Sucks.
So I will connect this Multi Receiver to the Hotel TV System and Scan for DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2.
How does it work for you? Do you have any trouble with it?
Do you use the CI Slot?

You will have to use the ChangeMode tool to switch between dvb-s/dvb-t/dvb-c modes and to do so, you may have to restart your dvb software.

I have no idea why TBS cannot in-built this functionality into the driver and provide relevant API extension to DVB software programmers (in linux you do not need to use this stupid ChangeMode tool), but i never got a clear answer from support. Unfortunately this "ChangeMode functionality" is not clearly documented, and if i knew this, I probably would not buy this card. I do not use CI slot.

I also not sure if each hotel provides just a "clear" dvb-s/t/c/etc signal, or they transcode/transmodulate signals to smth. common

So I have "just" use there tool to switch between the DVB Mode?
With Software can I use for reception?

i prefer SmartDVB and/or mediaportal
