That section you added is definitly wrong, but you card already matches the exist "Twinhan DVB-T (DVB-TV 878 Digital Tuner Driver)" and "Twinhan DVB-S (DVB-TV 878 Digital Tuner Driver)" sections, so try selecting one of those as your device type.

Try this:

[Technotrend S2-3600]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=USB 2.0 BDA DVB-S Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=USB 2.0 BDA DVB Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

thanks for that.

I changed type to DVB-S, but no channels are found on scan. It searches for 10 minutes or so.

Other progs (blaze dtv) work fine.

Oops. I had meant to type DVB-S.

Quote:but no channels are found on scan. It searches for 10 minutes or so.

Post the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log after a scan and I'll take a look.
