Support for Satelco EasyWatch PCI DVB-C Tuner (BDA)

[ikaukora]

Hi!
Is it possible to add support for Satelco EasyWatch PCI DVB-C?
I tried installing graphedit per instructions in the Wiki, but couldn't figure out how to start the program. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try adding this to your bda.ini file:

[Satelco EasyWatch DVB-C]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-C
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=Satelco EasyWatch PCI DVB-C Tuner (BDA)
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Input0
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=Output1

Thanks for the quick reply!
It almost works. The device is detected when I choose "only show devices detected in this machine" in the Digital Source Configuration tool. I selected Finland/Helsinki-HTV as the location. When scanning for channels by clicking Map digital channels to EPG channels, I can hear and, at least some of the time, see the channels in the little preview screen, but the tool reports no channels are found.
I'll try playing with this again in the morning, seems like there must be an easy fix for this.

Do the scan, then zip and attach the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.

There. There are three logs of each type, I think because I tried scanning three times.

Thanks a ton!

Try running reregisterfilters.bat.

I suspect this wont help though, since it looks like you device failed to lock onto any signal. Was your cable provider in one of those listed? If not, you may need to create your own ini file, with correct frequencies and symbol rate for your cable channels.

I think that worked! Now it finds channels. I updated some drivers as well, so that might have affected the situation as well. Regardless, now it works. Great!
