It should work, but I think you might be the first person to use one of these devices, so it'll probably add a new section to be added to the bda.ini file. There is some instructions on the wiki about what exactly you need to do for this.

Good news !!! It works !!! :o

I read many threads in the forums and i succeed.

Thanks for everything. You made a great software !!!

Cool.

Can you post the bda.ini section so I can include it in the master file?

[eric_zo]

Here's the section in my BDA.ini file :

[Twinhan DVB-S Starbox]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=DTV-DVB UDST7020BDA DVB-S Receiver
FILTER_CAPTURE=DTV-DVB UDST7020BDA DVB-S Receiver
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=Output1


With this device, i capture Bell ExpressVu (NIMIQ 1) in Canada.

I seem to have a problem with the EPG. It is completely empty. I will work on this.

Sorry Sub, i didn't give you the right bda.ini config.

Here's the good one :

[Twinhan DVB-S Starbox]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
RECEIVER_ONLY_MODE=1
FILTER_RECEIVER=DTV-DVB UDST7020BDA DVB-S Receiver
PIN_RECEIVER_IN=Antenna In Pin
PIN_RECEIVER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport


Ciao !

Hey Eric,

I have a starbox 2 as well here but I do not seem to get it to work.
Which drivers did you use, I installed serveral different bda drivers and gb-pvr sees the card, but with the channel scanning he doesn't find any channels. Signal strengt and quality always say 94% and 99%.

Thnx, Tommy

Hi tomlissen,

I installed "twinhan data" software from Twinhan Web site. It installed the BDA Driver.

It have been really difficult to receive channels. I made a lot a test to succeed.

Some patches exists on the forum about specific files. I'm using those files :

PsiParser.ax 212kb 2006-12-07 16:00
Config.exe 952 kb 2006-12-23 04:49
NativeUtilities.dll 1268 kb 2006-12-22 15:13
GBPVRBackendCommon.dll 484 kb 2006-12-23 04:49

These files are use to activate MDAPI :

mdapifilter.ax 144 kb 2006-12-15 00:18
FFDecsa.dll 38 kb 2004-11-13 11:25

Also, be sure to have a recent transponder file. I'm using NIMIQ 1 satellite (2690.ini). Check JoshyFun's Transponders lists web site.
