Jipatsu Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 ok, so the problem is as described below I formatted my computer and installed all drivers etc again to my computer but I met a problem with my technotrend DVB-card... when I install the normal drivers to it it shows as normal network card (as it should shown?) then I install the BDA-drivers (was told to install them from DVBViewer support) but they install those drivers on normal drivers and they change DVB-card from network card to multimedia driver... so when I start DVBViewer it announces "No hardware available!" eventhough when I scan devices in settings it finds my card. can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

Jipatsu Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Oh, sorry about that. support.zip is attached where you can find my system's details support.zip Quote Link to comment

Jipatsu Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 did that but still it says "No hardware available!" maybe it's because the BDA drivers was written over the original drivers for my card? Quote Link to comment
Engelbert Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 No, the BDA drivers seem correctly registered to be. Have a try under hardware: Scan Devices Quote Link to comment
Jipatsu Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 did that and I have it preferred and the others state is "do not use"... I try now to scan for channels and look, if it starts working. still when I restart DVBViewer it says "No hardware available!" it's strange that my Firewall hasn't said anything about trying to make connection, maybe it's because of that?

Engelbert Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Delete the hardware.xml. Put the video decoder on SONIC. Quote Link to comment
Jipatsu Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Here is the latest support.zip with the changes directed to make still viewer says "No hardware available" I'm starting to think that it might have something to do with drivers... should my DVB-card show as network card or multimedia? support.zip Edited September 5, 2006 by Jipatsu Quote Link to comment
Engelbert Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) The window shows what to DEVICE: under hardware to Scan Devices? There are several possibilities where the drivers appear in the device manager. But they must be found, they are in hardware.xml. Edited September 5, 2006 by Engelbert Quote Link to comment
Jipatsu Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 yeah, it shows "TechnoTrend BDA/DVB-C tuner" under hardware after scanning but still doesn't work. one thing, when I installed technotrend drivers, I had to install them via window's own detection, technotrend's own setup didn't find my card... but windows still finds the card and it defines it as network card when I install the normal drivers... then, when I install the BDA drivers, it'll change to multimedia hardware... that I don't get, as far as I know, it should act like network card?

Engelbert Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Can't be at Network, also Multimedia is correct (BDA). Use the tool TransEdit + Manual (member area) for scanning. Does scanning work there? Try the ttAPI.dll from the following link instead of the available ones: http://www.DVBViewer.com/forum/index.php?s...st&p=105779 Edited September 5, 2006 by Engelbert Quote Link to comment
ice coffee Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I have had this several times over the last couple of days, the answer is if you are using viewer pro, you need to reinstall it be sure to export you channel lists first *** and most importantly after UNinstalling it go and delete the remaining DVBViewer folder from c:\program files\DVBViewer **** if it is GE you are using just remove/rename setup.ini it will recreate it correctly the next time you start the app Quote Link to comment
hdv Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hello, the answer is if you are using viewer pro, you need to reinstall it be sure to export you channel lists first *** and most importantly after UNinstalling it go and delete the remaining DVBViewer folder from c:\program files\DVBViewer **** it is enough to delete the files: hardware.xml, setup.xml, windowdef.xml it is the same as if you setup.ini deletes Quote Link to comment

Try the ttAPI.dll from the following link instead of the available ones: http://www.DVBViewer.com/forum/index.php?s...st&p=105779 I tried TransEdit but it says "Sorry - there is no matching DVB device for this transponderlist" I did d/l that .dll file also, didn't work... I have had this several times over the last couple of days, the answer is if you are using viewer pro, you need to reinstall it be sure to export you channel lists first I have the pro version (if you mean the other one besides GE) and tried reinstalling it... didn't help I remembered that last time I installed this DVBViewer, I had similiar problems but then I was directed to d/l the beta version and copy paste it over DVBViewer folder and then it did work. well, I did that again (reinstall, copy-paste beta over and copied that .dll file also) problems is still there, "No hardware available", still my device can be seen under settings - hardware. I'm getting a littlebit confused already Quote Link to comment
Engelbert Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I am also confused. Mention the exact type of your TT. Install the DVBViewer GE into a new directory, perhaps he recognizes your hardware? Quote Link to comment
Jipatsu Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 it's Technotrend DVB-C Budget C1500 (CI) Product information from the manufacturer I will try to install GE later on when I get home. Quote Link to comment
ice coffee Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 AFTER UN-installing it go to the C:\program files\DVBViewer folder and delete these files hardware.xml, setup.xml, windowdef.xml as mentioned in HDV's post then re-install Quote Link to comment
Jipatsu Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) Hmm, I got it working... I searched these forums for more information and tried again that transedit... well, Now i did find my channels... one thing though... I need to start cineplayer before I can get stream. Any workaround about this 'cause I don't want to start cineplayer everytime I want to watch tv? and Thank you all for your help one notice though... still when I open DVBViewer it announces "No Hardware available" but when I select a specific channel, it works fine. and dvbviewers own channel scanning doesn't work... so still I have problems with DVBViewer but I'm able to watch programs now.
