TerraTec Cinergy HTC USB XS HD USB2.0

[Reddwarf]

I'm considering buying a TerraTec Cinergy HTC USB XS HD USB2.0, (Analog Tv-Tuner & DVB-T & DVB-C), has anyone experience whith it? Will it work fine with GBPVR? I plan to use it for both DVB-C and analog reception.

I'm pretty sure the analog side of this device doesnt have an MPEG2 encoder, so you'd only be able to use DVB-T and DVB-C.

Mmmmmm, I see... On the other hand; I'v managed to get the Software Recorder plugin working , and with an AMD 3700+ cpu that should not be the biggest problem...

Is that the case for all the TerraTec devices?

To be honest, I dont really know. I know very very little about the TerraTec devices.

I dont remember ever seeing any posts from a person trying to use a TerraTec device for analog.

Hi,

I just got this device and want to use it for DVB-C but the device itself is not in the list, nor does GBPVR recognise it, it simply says there is no compatible device, although BDA drivers (latest from the Terratec website) are installed. Does anybody have an idea what to do? All I can find is DVB-T stuff and I don't want to use DVB-T.

Run filtercheck.exe and attach the filtercheck.log that gets created.

Looks like it should work, as this is the correct card.

Try adding this to your bda.ini file:



[TerraTec Cinergy HTC USB XS DVB-C]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-C
FILTER_TUNER=Cinergy HTC USB XS Digital Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Cinergy HTC USB XS Digital Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

That did the trick, it gets recognised as DVB-C, I can enable it, but what I can't seem to find is how do I search for channels now? I've only used the config tool now but adding channels is just "channel number" and that's it, where can I put the frequency, symbolrate and so on in?
The tuningassistant.exe seems to be for analog only, and that one doesn't know my card.

So where can I add channels and search for them?
Thanks for your help!

You need to hit the 'map digital channels to epg channels' button to start the scan.
