zhmeerko Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Greetings to all, somewhere I read that with DVBViewer it is possible to watch dvb-t2 channels coded in hevc even if you don't have newer tv tuner card. I have Terratec H7 card, bought 2012. Probably I missunderstood something but who knows? Quote Link to comment

Watching TV with HEVC-coded video generally doesn't depend on the tuner card. It depends on the graphics card, or, if it doesn't support hardware-accelerated HEVC decoding, the CPU speed for software decoding. 16 hours ago, zhmeerko said: I have Terratec H7 card, bought 2012. Terratec is a reseller, that distributed different hardware under the name "H7". There is an old version (product ID 10A3) originating from AzureWave. AFAIK it is not capable of receiving DVB-T2, in contrast to a newer version originating from DVBSky (product ID 10A5). The product ID (PID) can be retrieved from the device manager -> device properties -> details tab. However, even if a device is capable of receiving DVB-T2, it doesn't necessarily mean that it can receive all kinds of DVB-T2, because there are different versions. When DVB-T2 started in Germany, some older DVB-T2 tuners could not cope with it, because they did not support the latest version. Anyway, you can just give it a try by using the DVBViewer Demo version. Please note that you may have to install the LAV Filters (32 bit version) for HEVC decoding. Quote Link to comment
zhmeerko Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Thanks Griga!That is what I have been thinking of but needed a confirmation. My H7 is the older one so I have to jump in to adventure of buying an other tv card. I looked at Hauppauge and DigitalDevices solutions and would apreciate some recommendations and views at both. I also looked at DVBSky solutions but on EBay found just few of them-not so new. Quote Link to comment
