Salute to the DVB Viewer developers !!!!

[Rittberg]

Hi,

 

Now when the Euro1080 starts to encrypt more and more there content mainly at the evening (the time when I can relax & watch after the working hours) and as a HiDef fan (even with there poor content) I was not able to wait for a CI solution to be developed for the SS2, So I have decided to act .......... >

I pass the border and purchased the WinTV-NOVA-Ci card(manufactured by TechnoTrend) + Irdeto module + the Euro1080 access card.

I removed the SS2 card and installed the new card and the SW, few minutes after starting the SW application I realize and was shocked from my new situation after being several months with the fantastic DVBViewer SW.

So this is my findings :

Pros:

- The only positive word that I can say about that combo is that it function perfectly when the Euro1080 signal is encrypted (the SW freeze when the encryption starts, so I have to reselect the Euro1080 channel).

 

Cons:

- No AC3 sound only PCM

- Recording limit - max. 4.0 Gig file size

- No way to edit channel parameters.

- No way to select/integrate decoders.

- No way to control aspect ratio.

- No way to zoom/adjust the image position

- No response from there support.

- No forum

 

And so on and on and on.....

 

I feel that I am now at the 19en century. I really hope that :

1. SS2 & the DVBViewer team will find a Ci solution.

2. Some one from Hauppauge or Technotrend is reading this forum.

 

 

I can only SALUTE to the fantastic developers and the forum members for creating such a great SW.

 

BTW - I am not leaving the forum (I am considering to install the SS2 again to stay together with the NOVA that I will use only for the Euro1080).

 

Cheers,

...hummm, very bad news...

...but from what I can read there are sw problem, not hw related ones, so maybe with a new sw version (or with some other sw!) it may be go away...; moreover I hope that you can feed your PC with either cards...

 

Best wishes!

what about using a smartmouse whith an Irdeto CAM. It should work

[Guest hackbart]

don't panic, there will be an "LEGAL"!! solution for the skystar2. I'm not sure if this will be solved within the summer or in fall, but anyhow sooner or later (prob. more sooner than later) will be a ci module for this fantastic card. And once Technisat is building an additional card to allow watching encrypted pay tv content, i will add such a thing as fast as possible into the DVBViewer.

@Christian

 

Please advise if there is any news.

 

In the mean time I decide to invest (EURO 18.5) in the WatchTV Pro NOVA edition SW hoping that this SW will make the WinTV-NOVA-Ci card to function better.

 

But I am so disappointed with the new SW, It's nice looking but I am facing the regular problems:

- I am not able to record the Euro1080(regular channels - yes) .

- I am not able to select the AC3 @ the Euro1080 (APID 257) - the SW freeze, only stereo (APID 256).

- I am not able to listen to AC3 sound on regular channels ( ZDF etc.) - I get it as PCM or No sound at all.

 

At least there is a forum where I can write the problems that I am facing, the members are nice and polite but with NO experience to help with the a.m. problems.

 

Just tell me how long I have to wait for the SS2/DVBViewer solution
