[SOLVED]-TBS6680 doesn't work

[Retiree]

I use DVBViewer more than five years of my full satisfaction. DVBViewer can work simultaneously with multiple tuners, it can also work with dual usb tuner. I also tried other programs (DVBDream, ProgDVB and other), but DVB Viewer is one of the best.

TBS6680 dual tuner still does not work satisfactorily with any recommended programs, even the latest version DVBViewer v5.0.
I tried WMC for Win7, DVBDream v22b, v22c_oem and v22d_oem, TBSViewer v20121130 with tbsDiapi.dll v1.0.0.8 and v1.0.1.1.
I am almost convinced that the TBS6680 dual tuner/dual CI has poorly written driver for Win and/or dynamic library TbsDIapi.dll.
My system is Window 7 64bit SP1

Hi Retiree
We have contact DVB Viewer add support for 6680.
"TBS6680 dual tuner still does not work satisfactorily with any recommended programs" The Card does not work?? or what make you not satisfactorily?

Thanks

Hi Smile,

DVB Viewer v5.0 instalation pack includes tbsCIapi.dll v1.0.0.8. This version of the library does not support paid programs. In other words, can not work with CAM.
DVB Viewer v5.0 with tbsCIapi.dlll v1.0.1.1 (beta) can also work with CAM. I kept trying to DVB only tbsCIapi.dll v1.0.1.1.
DVB Viewer can display or record one channel paid or free, or series of identical consecutive channels (one tuner, same PIDs).
DVB Viewer can even view or record one paid or free channel (first tuner), while TransEdit program can simultaneously scan the entire TV band (second tuner).
Up to this point everything is fine.

DVB Viewer displays PIP. When you try to switch to another channel in the same or another multiplex DVB Viewer freezes on the main window, the channel in the PIP window on running. When you try to further action, the program gets into a loop and can not be further controlled. Helps the violent end of the program and restart DVBViewer is usually necessary to restart Windows.
(Almost as responded to DVB Viewer v4.9.9.4 beta and similarly TBS Viewer.)
This is with the various permutations also happening during the planned recording. The actual computer resumes from hibernation and subsequent recovery sleep is no problem.

As I already wrote, DVB Viewer can work with multiple tuners and USB dual tuner.
On the topic of dysfunctional TBS6680 I exchanged a few emails with constantine from Turbosight Europe and steven from tbsdtv. Of course also watch DVBViewer forum...

DVB Viewer can simultaneously record from several TV tuners from various multiplexes (tested with various cards from TechniSat).
DVB Viewer can simultaneously record from different multiplexes on both tuners Dual card (tested with dual dvb-t usb tuner LV52T).
Dual Tuner TBS6680 can not simultaneously record on both tuners for scheduled recording another multiplex. In this case, dvbviewer gets into the loop, the CPU load increases to 25% (Intel Core i5-2400 [email protected]). In this case, the program can not control or stop. This time tested without embedded CA modules.
My conclusion: There is an error in the driver tuner for Windows 7 (64bit)
I expect an explanation of manufacturer and retailer...

Hello, is anybody there?

"My conclusion: There is an error in the tuner driver for Windows"

I assume that silence is consent.

In this case, I would expect a similar response from the manufacturer:
"Sorry. We know the problem, we are working to resolve the issue ..."

Hi Reriree.

I'm not sure, but I think some people are in vacation on TBS. Please send an email to support at tbsdtv.com, there you can obtain a quick response

Best regards.

Hi Sergio,

thanks for the quick reply. I was in communication with both the euro_support (constantine) and the tbs support (steven). Recommended programs I tried several...

My conclusion: Driver for windows has a bug

[SergioDanielG]

Hi Retiree.
Yes, this it's possibly a bug. For windows try it with support, for linux try it with Constantine in euro_support.
I'm not sure, but maybe steven is in his vacation.

Best regards.

Hi,
perhaps I have to wait for steven ..., and I will write again to support.

Reagards, Retiree.
