Unable to scan fro German channels

[azzi]

I am a newbie with this product and have come across some problems which I could use some help from the more experienced.

My hardware setup:

Mainboard - Asus M2A-VM
Processeor – AMD x2 4200
Video Card – ATI onboard x1250
SAT Card – Technista Skystar HD2

Software:

Vista ultimate +SP1
Technisat Mantis BDA driver – ver 1.0.1.5 Date – 25 Jan 2008

I have updated the technisat in the bda.ini as suggested in the wiki using graphedit
I have used mc2xml as suggested in http://mc2xml.110mb.com/#gbpvr to retreive the EPG for Germany.
Configured “Capture Sources” and selected “Digital recording plugin” - this found my Technisat from the updated bda.ini. However “Country:” show only “All Countres” instaed of a list of countries. So I selected Astr 1e,1f,1g,1h,1kr,2c. I selected the EPG source that was exported with mc2xml. Clicked on the “Update EPG” button and got the german channels. I selected “Map digital channels” and started scanning. The scan finds lots of channels except the german channels. It also alway:confused crashes at “Scanning 22 of 77”.

How can I get past this problem? Is there a way I can troubleshoot this issue?

TIA

Have you applied the patches from the survival guide thread?

[azzi]

sub, are you referring to the dongle patch? I have not updated any patches other than from M$. I will give it a go.

thanks

No, I was meaning the other patches.

Hi you musst install some codecs for ac3 (ac3filter) and for mpg2 + h264 the livepreview windows make the problems. I install ffdshow and ac3filter and the scan work.

Hi sub, I applied all patches and since then Vista's Data Execution Prevention is closing the config program. I tried to exclude config.exe from the DEP but Vista keeps insisting that this program must run with DEP.

Hi Scan I have ffdshow and ac3filter installed and have also selected them in for MPEG-2 and H.264 playback.

This is clean install of Vista 32 I cannot see why it should not work? Has anyone got similar hardware?

TIA

See if applying this patch on top fixes it: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...stcount=37

Patch did not help, still crashes with DEP. This is only happening when I use the dongle from the survival kit. If I use the original dongle it simply stop "not responding" in task list "cursor spinning" while scanning 22.

The dongle doesnt have any effect unless you're using a Hauppauge MediaMVP, and that doesnt have any relationship to scanning or the config app.

I'm not really sure. I'm following up on another users problem related to a DEP with these latest patches, so hopefully when I have a resolution to that, it'll correct your problem aswell.

no worries, you are right, thought it was the dongle that caused that error but I reverted and still got DEp msg only with the updates. I am starting to believe that it is either my DVB-S card or the AT gfx card that might be giving me issue.
