Hong Kong DMB-T Setting

[jksmurf]

Cheers sub.

I added it to the bda.ini in the 1.4.7 release and also redid the sort using attached spreadsheet. You've probably added some more by now anyway.

I noticed a few filter-tuner entries have quotes " " and ' ', I'm not sure if these still work with those quotes?

Note also one Kworld entry was missing a leading "[".

Thanks - but I dont really need a spreadsheet for managing it. I'm quite happy manually maintaining the list. (ie, Hauppauge devices at the top, other devices stuffed in any old random place below )

LOL. Okey Dokey. :-)

Below are the BDA.INI Changes for a Magic-Pro ProHDTV Gold/Silver DMB-T Tuner (using the device in Hong Kong - this "may" also work with the Diamond or Platinum versions).

NOTE! While it find and maps channels, and I can see and hear channels in Config, in my system the ProHDTV crashes when accessing from PVRX2. The Signal Strength using this Tuner is also terrible compared to my Hauppauge WinTV DMB-T digital HDTV/SDTV stick e.g. same antenna, I get:

Hauppauge WinTV: Signal Strength=35~45, Quality=100%
Magic-Pro ProHDTV: Signal Sttrength=1 (ONE!), Quality=117% (Weird, > 100!)

bda.ini modifications

Code:

[Magic-Pro ProHDTV Tuner1]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=Magic-Pro Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Magic-Pro Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Magic-Pro ProHDTV Tuner2]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=Magic-Pro Digital Tuner Secondary
FILTER_CAPTURE=Magic-Pro Digital Capture Secondary
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

In any case I attach these in casy anyone wants to try it. I'm personally going to try another tuner.
I wanted a PCI version as I was concerned the USB version doesn't wake up very elegantly.

The Tuner Strength Check Tool I used is this http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/tools/ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe

List of frequencies to type in for HK is here:

Updated 273.ini file (just replace existing file in devnz/gbpvr/dvb-t directory)

Code:

[TERTYPE]
1=Hong Kong
2=Hong Kong
[DVB]
;Position = Channelname,Frequency(KHz),Inversion(0,1),0,Bandwidth (7MHz=1, 8MHz=2)
0=12
1=C22,482000,1,0,8
2=C26,514000,1,0,8
3=C28,530000,1,0,8
4=C30,546000,1,0,8
5=C32,562000,1,0,8
6=C35,586000,1,0,8
7=C37,602000,1,0,8
8=C40,626000,1,0,8
9=C41,634000,1,0,8
10=C43,650000,1,0,8
11=C58,770000,1,0,8
12=C59,778000,1,0,8

If you want to reproduce this and post the pvrx2.exe.log and pvrx2.exe-native.log, I'll take a look.

Thanks sub,

I actually already posted a log here, http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post375830

Could you have a look a that please?

Code:

[AVerMedia DMB852-W7]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=AF9015 BDA Filter
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Input0
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Works better than the Magic-Pro. Better Tuner.
