DVB-S2 tuning support?

[bob808]

Does GB-PVR support dvb-s2 tuning? I have done a channel scan and it finds BBC HD, but none of the other HD channels.

I know that I cant decode these, but had still expected GB-PVR to find them just like DVB-Viewer can. My TV Card is a hauppauge-hd-s2 sat card.

Any thoughts on why this isnt found, or what I can do to get a complete scan, or does gb-pvr simply not support this?


Thanks

It should fine Luxe.tv I think ITV HD cheats lies to keep itself hidden as a "red button" program and can only be used by manual tweaks to the cache file.
AFAIK all the others are Sky subscriptions and not available for mapping.

Which extras do you get with dvbviewer? I'm only using a plain dvb-s tuner and only can get bbc hd, itv hd and luxe.tv at present.

not that I can receive them, but the scan picks up Sky1 HD, Channel4 HD, FX HD, Sports HD etc

I am considering getting a subscription tho and using a card reader with a MDAPI plugin to allow the card to work with the channels, but clearly this is only an option if I can get the channels to appear in the first place!

In theory it supports it, but there have been problems for a couple of Hauppauge DVB-S2 users that have tried it recently. I've got it on my list of things to look into.
