eddche Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Hello! I'm using Turbosight QBoxII DVB-S2 USB BOX in Version 4.1. It works just fine with SD and HD TV and seems to be a good choice. The only problem is DVBViewer can't control DiseqC command. DiseqC works with DVBDream, but I like DVBViewer Could you add support of DiseqC for this USB box? Thanks. http://www.qboxdvb.com/QBoxIIS2HDtv.html http://www.tbsdtv.com/english/product/QBoxS2.html TransEdit.ini hardware.xml Edited May 17, 2009 by eddche Quote Link to comment

Qbox 2 USB can control my DiseqC 1.1 switch in ProgDVB, but I like DVBViewer much more(and I paid for it only). Please help. p.s. I can use Qbox II as a TBS device to control DiseqC switch in ProgDVB. hardware.xml TransEdit.ini Edited August 4, 2009 by Kenny Lam Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 What about TransEdit? No go with DiSEqC either? Quote Link to comment
Kenny Lam Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 What about TransEdit? No go with DiSEqC either? Exactly, Neither TransEdit nor DVBViewer can controls my DiseqC 1.1 switch Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm investigating on it. TransEdit and DVBViewer both detect the QBOX II as Turbosight device (because of the substring "TBS"), but unfortunately the code that has been confirmed as working with Turbosight PCI cards is not compatible with QBOX drivers. Now I'm trying to find information about the QBOX DiSEqC handling. If there are promising results, I'll upload a TransEdit test version here, and you will have to try... so please stay tuned.

What about include a tweak to let us manually choose the hardware type? Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 What about include a tweak to let us manually choose the hardware type? Possible in TransEdit and DVBViewer GE (see here), but not in DVBViewer Pro. However, of no avail in this case, because there wasn't any QBOX specific code in TransEdit yet. But there is now. Try the attached TransEdit test version. Some functions (Analyzer, Export...) are disabled, but scanning works (and preview, if DVBViewer is installed). First go to Settings -> Hardware and perform Detect Devices, then Save. It will let TransEdit detect the QBOX II as QBOX and apply the specific DiSEqC code. After closing TransEdit the Vendor.x entry in the [Hardware] section of the file TransEdit.ini (see Info -> Copnfiguration Folder) should be 18, standing for QBOX. Does DiSEqC work now? Maybe we will have to try several modifications. I found some QBOX specific code in DVBViewer Pro (that isn't applied because the device is detected as TBS, see above). However, nobody could tell me from which source it originates or on which documentation it is based. Additionally I detected some QBOX sample code in a dusty corner of my hard disk (in the "may be useful later" directory), similar to the DVBViewer Pro code, but not identical. A bit confusing... well, we will see. TransEdit_3_4_1_3_Test.zip Quote Link to comment

Behind the bright side, I have to report a problem that the testing version of transedit cannot scan(and even tune) any channels on specific satellite (Telestar 18 138.0E in this case) only, but this problem doesn't exists in the previous version v3.4.1 What supporting info should I provide?

Griga Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Will it be integrated into the next version of DVBViewer? Sure. the testing version of transedit cannot scan(and even tune) any channels on specific satellite (Telestar 18 138.0E in this case) only, This one? http://www.lyngsat.com/t18.html What do you try to receive? What doesn't work? The C band frequencies, Ku band frequencies or both? Which DiSEqC settings are you using for this bird? How could the previous version receive it without working DiSEqC? Quote Link to comment
ppy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Yes, it is real in transedit DiSEqC now works. But how now to force to work it in DVBViewer? Or it is necessary to wait for new version DVBViewer? It is possible to solve this problem now? Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 But how now to force to work it in DVBViewer? Cannot be forced. You'll have to wait for the next (beta) release. First I want to get feedback from Kenny Lam about the Telestar 18 issue and see if there is still something to be fixed. As soon as everything is cleared I'll upload a new TransEdit full version to the members area. If required, I could additionally upload a DVBViewer GE beta version with QBOX DiSEqC (it uses the same hardware-related code as TransEdit). It will only be useful if you don't need CI/CAM support, however. Quote Link to comment
Kenny Lam Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Sure. This one? http://www.lyngsat.com/t18.html What do you try to receive? What doesn't work? The C band frequencies, Ku band frequencies or both? Which DiSEqC settings are you using for this bird? How could the previous version receive it without working DiSEqC? I had tested only on Ku band freqs. The LNB(LO:11300) was connected to a DiSEqC 1.1 switch(on port 5) and a 22KHz switch(port ON), the testing version cannot lock on all freqs available in this LNB. The way of using DiSEqC switch on previous version is that I use the testing version to perform switching, close the testing version, and then attempts to scan channel on the previous version of TransEdit (and it works).

If it doesn't work with the correct LOF settings: the testing version cannot lock on all freqs available in this LNB. On some of them? If yes, do they have something in common? Is port 5 the only one that its connected to a 22 khz switch? The way of using DiSEqC switch on previous version is that I use the testing version to perform switching, close the testing version, and then attempts to scan channel on the previous version of TransEdit (and it works). That's strange, because nothing has been changed except DiSEqC. Since you are using a DiSEqC 1.1 (uncommitted) switch, the command is defined in the DiSEqC editor (right?). Maybe adding a delay of let's say 250 ms after the command will do the trick, because it gives the 22 khz switch time to power on. If not, scan one of the affected transponders with the test version, and then scan it again. Success? If not, set DiSEqC to "None" (thus simulating the behaviour of the previous version), then scan again. Success? Quote Link to comment

I am sorry to say that I can't repeat the problem right now, may be it is just a little cabling problem. Anyway, the testing version works really great Edited August 23, 2009 by Kenny Lam Quote Link to comment

Griga Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Just one more question: Does DiSEqC also work with the new TransEdit version if Settings -> Hardware -> Use Standard Interface is ticked? Quote Link to comment
ppy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) I could include Diseqc control in DVBViewer. But! Attention! The given way can destroy yours QBoxII. There is complete clone TBS QBoxII - ProfRed 7500 http://www.prof-tuners.com/eng/prof7500.html For ProfRed compatibility Diseqc in DVBViewer is declared. I cannot recollect exact sequence of operations. At first has installed the driver http://www.prof-tuners.com/download/driver...1.0.1.2_W32.zip After poweroff QBoxII and computer reboot in the device has change dev ID VID_734C&PID_5920 (TBS QboxII) on VID_3034&PID_7500 (ProfRed 7500). Then I upgrade driver to the version http://www.prof-tuners.com/download/driver...1.0.1.3_W32.zip After that DVB the card became ProfRed 7500. And now Diseqc works. Again I repeat - the given operations can damage to your device. There was a moment when the computer did not find a card. But now I have Diseqc in DVBViewer and last SVN versions MediaPortal.

ppy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 To Kenny Lam I have repeated change VID/PID on QBOXII. 1. Replace in S2QBOX.inf USB\VID_734C&PID_5920 on flowing USB\VID_3034&PID_7500. 2. Install these QBOXII the driver. 3. Installation process was not completed. I have waited for 20 minutes and have rebooted. 4. After reboot - "Unknown device" 5. Has deleted all oemXX.inf from these devices and driver Prof7500.sys. 6. Unplug cable of power supply for a card. Wait 3 minutes and plug power. 7. There was a device with unknown to me VID/PID. Has repeated item 6 three times. And I see VID/PID USB\VID_734C&PID_5920 from QBOXII. 8. Installation of original drivers from TBS. P.S. Then I have returned on ProfRed 7500.

ProfRed 7500 work fine in DVBViewer, but not switch in TransEdit(incl. 3.4.1.0/3.4.2.0) I guess the reason is that the vendor code of Prof cannot be detected. hardware.xml TransEdit.ini Edited August 26, 2009 by Kenny Lam Quote Link to comment
