New Pinnacle 7010ix missing tuner problem

[Elmo Putney]

Just noticed it's the DVB-S side that you are battling with, so ignore my ramble.
Still.....I have the DVB-S working on mine so if there is anything I can check setup wise that could help let me know.

Try the other DVB-T aerial input on the card.

I'm only using DVB-S - there's no terrestrial digital where I am.
PS: Just seen your last message - please ignore

I think martin123, in the second post in this thread, had it about right. He suggested a setup for the card that I had already implemented, and sub can't find anything wrong in the logs.

My main question is: does the card appear as a single entry in your Device Type drop-down list? If so, it's the same as mine - I've used the Blackgold drivers, and it shows up as 'BlackGold BGT3540 DVB-S'. I've set up two Device Numbers (1 & 2) corresponding to the two tuners. The Satellite setting for both is Astra 2A, 2B, 2D, and the rest of the settings in the Digital Source Configuration dialog box are the defaults.

If you've got a good suggestion, I'm all ears...

I cannot receive DVB-T.

I've set up the two DVB-S tuners as follows, and sub's analysis of the logs suggests that this is correct:
DVB-S (single device shown)
|
|--- Device 1
!--- Device 2

If you can't receive DVB-T then I would try the hauppauge signal strength thingie - it works on all dvb-t tuners I've tried it on. This will show if the device and driver are working.

I think in addition to the dvb-s tuners you mention, you also have to set up its dvb-t tuners.

Mine is set up as you show, for info the driver I'm using shows as pinnacle ver.1.0.4.1 17/07/2007.

Sorry to ask a stupid question...did you attatch the floppy power cable to the card?

Mine doesn't have a connector for floppy. There are three on the edge for video in, audio out and audio in though.

[Elmo Putney]

Strange...mine has the connector exactley as per the blackgold....I assumed the power was required for the LNB V/H switching etc...maybee it's just there for diseq (sp?)

[liteswap]

Mine didn't have the floppy connector, like martin123's. Note the past tense: I've returned it...

Hello,
I have configured this card on Windows7. I have added following two sections to bda.ini file:

[Pinnacle PCTV 7010iX - DVB-T]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=Pinnacle PCTV 3010iX BDA DVBT Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Pinnacle PCTV 3010iX BDA Digital Capture DVBT
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Pinnacle PCTV 7010iX - DVB-S]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=Pinnacle PCTV 3010iX BDA DVBS Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Pinnacle PCTV 3010iX BDA Digital Capture DVBS
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

After that I configured GBPVR to use two "Pinnacle PCTV 7010iX - DVB-S". I have just finished channel scan for the first tuner and started for the second one.
I hope it will help.
