Tbs 6980

[allstarnz]

I have just purchased this dual DVB-S2 tuner, and would like to try and get it running with GB-PVR. Is there an equivalent card I can use to make it work, it's not listed under the devices as far as I can see. It also won't auto detect it.

It's got a Conexant chipset in it as far as I can see.

Here is the page for the card if you need more info.

You will need to run FilterCheck.exe from within the GBPVR folder and post the log here. We can probably suggest a bda.ini entry with that info.

It wont work for DVB-S2, but you should be able to get DVB-S with the following:


[Tbs 6980 Tuner1]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=TBS 6980 BDA DVBS/S2 A Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURETBS 6980 DVBS/S2 A AVStream TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

[Tbs 6980 Tuner2]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=TBS 6980 BDA DVBS/S2 B Tuner/Demod
FILTER_CAPTURETBS 6980 DVBS/S2 B AVStream TS Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

Hey allstarnz, did you have any success with this card? I'm interested in picking one up.

Cheers,
Bill.

yeah, this card works a treat, and with all but GB-PVR it goes well with DVB-S2 as well.

Worth a look in my opinion
