Do you know if Progdvb support this DVB-T Stick ?

I do not find any messages on someone having reported success or failure on this one.

Generally, I suppose, it uses BDA drivers, and for this reason, it may be worth a try.
The usual way, install the original software completely, including all specific settings. Make sure it's working.
If so, you should normally find your BDA device listed in device list.

From progdvb.com main page:
At the present moment work on DVB-S,DVB-S2,DVB-T and DVB-C cards these manufactures:

...

* Cards with BDA driver (With some cards problems are possible)

Thanks, but I tried with Progdvb 4.85.1, and selecting BDA_terratec_terrestrial device I do the Scan channel and find many channel but all data (with floppy icon) so the screen is black, while the terratec software run correctly and i see all the channels found.
I do not remember if EPG info are ok , now are at work, this evening I will try.



bye

You maqy want to try, to copy some IDs of the original software into ProgDVB.
As you can't have both running at the same time, use a text file for transferring.

Even possible, that some 3rd party channel list editor may be able, to transfer directly.

If succeeded, don't forget, to make a full safety copy of your channels folder.

Scan issues are belonging to that argument of 'problems are possible'...

Why give up so quickly?

Did you understand what I asked you to test with?
Did the scan give wrong or no Audio and Video IDs (checking one main channel is enough)?
Did EPG / Now & Next show up, in OSD or the status bar or when opening the service?

No picture and sound may even have some other reasons, like a corrupted graph.

Going systematical is mandatory for any kind of remote diagnosis...

Is not possible "corrupted graph" because with my TT S-1401 (satellite) I see every channel correctly !

Are you really sure this argument is logically correct?
Do you know, what a graph does?
Or what it could do wrong?
A graph must suit your system, to be able, to connect components properly.

However...
- no correct IDs --> no streams to decode
As i told, get the correct data for a main station (from the original application or another receiver), at least, insert them manually into channel properties, apply, retune, try out and report.

- bad graph --> no picture / no sound even with good IDs.
In such a case, try to make a custom graph.

We're talking computer logics here, that are behaving falsely.
But they don't know about pride, frustration, distrust or anything else like this.
The only way to fight such problems is going logical and getting and using knowledge..

One more for the road:
Every piece of understanding and knowledge that can be achieved this way, also may be pretty useful later on in life.
To enable people helping themselves or even others...

blank screen here also

Hi,
same problem here..
I tried with Progdvb 5.12.07, and selecting BDA_terratec_terrestrial device. I performed a Channel search and a Blind serarch also and found 16 channels (with floppy icon), but the screen is black.
Transporder list: MCE Mapper - UHF Channels
There was no success with Terratec software too.
pls help

If the original software also fails, I'm afraid, possibly we can't really help you.

But you may want to read all the above once more, very carefully.

Again, the diskette symbol means, no audio and video IDs in channel properties. Without those, any DVB application concludes it must be a data only channel.
Check if the original application also has not found IDs.
If it has, it has a different problem. But then you could try to borrow the IDs for ProgDVB, for one or two stations at least, to proceed testing somehow.

I can find the channels too..
BUT
ProgDVB (versions 4 and 5 latest versions) can only find the channels after I started the TerraTec Home Cinema program and close it down again.
Furthermore:
Video on a certain channel is only displayed if I select that channel with the TerraTec Home Cinema program first (and then of course close it down and start ProgDVB)!

Also the PIDs on the other channels are not filled in automatically and filling them by hand does not make a difference.

The quality on all channels is good 90%-100%, but the level is always 0%, even on the channel that is displayed.

Am I missing something? or is the dba driver (version 6.11.23.1 AF05BDA.sys) or ProgDVB messing things up? It looks like ProgDVB does not change the frequency of the DVB-T usb stick...

The TerraTec Home Cinema program is working ok

Some suggestions please

How is the device in use called in ProgDVB, exactly?

Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2008 8:48 pm
by gervdhoek
The device in use is:

{BDA} Cinergy T USB XE Tuner -- BDA.Device -- 1.45 -- 1.33

(The other device: {BDA} Cinergy T USB XE Tuner -- anysee.Device
does not function)

Soory, run out of ideas now.

Anyone else, perhaps?
