No hardware available - KWorld DVBT-355U

[smithjn]

I'm hoping someone can help me..

 

I've been using DVBViewer GE 2.1.0.1 for some time with no problems at all, it's much better than that nasty KWorld application that came bundled with my DVB-T USB tuner.

 

However, I tried it today and it won't initialise the card..

 

I installed the latest DVBViewer GE 2.1.0.2, but there is no difference.

 

I deleted the Setup.ini and tried again, I confirmed that it can see the card, which it can, but still no go.

 

I removed the device in Device Manager and re-insterted it into a USB port, Windows XP re-detected it and re-installed the drivers.

 

Still no go.

 

I checked that the nasty KWorld TV app worked and to my surprise it does.

 

I then installed the full DVBViewer 3.5.0.1, this time I get 'no hardware available' even though it's showing up under the options window.

 

I've run the support tool and very much hope someone can help me with this..

 

Device Manager reports my tuner as 'KWorld DVB-T 350U Device - QT'

I'm using their latest drivers (v 4.6.208.0 dated 18/04/2006)

maybe another application like your "nasty KWorld TV app " is connected to the device. Then it is blocked for the DVBViewer..

Nope, I've checked and that's not running..

 

Is there any way to ensure that the device is free?
