admi-ral Posted March 9, 2005 Posted March 9, 2005 that means a twinhan visionDTV will do it, too? just for the case i buy premiere next time...
yaRincewind Posted March 10, 2005 Posted March 10, 2005 It´s like the VisionDTV PCI-CI (Modell 1030C)! I´ve just been looking in the UK, and there the price was about 115 Pounds. DVBShop is selling it for 89€, but only a few are in stock. This sounds very very interresting. Something completly different: Does anybosy know, if there is a low profile "kartenblende", for using the SS2 in a low profile pc case?
deliol Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 Maybe with the new drivers v2.6 from Twinhan, the Skystar 1CI will work better with HDTV(at least that's what twinhan claim...) http://www.twinhan.com/files/driver/PCI-Sa...TV%20PCI2.6.zip
hackbart Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 thanks for the link. The driver fixed a couple of problems i had with older drivers. Christian
turntoyou Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 @hackbart Am i right that Support for the new Skystar 1 Ci is not available for the public turntoyou
admi-ral Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 Am i right that Support for the new Skystar 1 Ci is not available for the public not yet but soon
turntoyou Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 Am i right that Support for the new Skystar 1 Ci is not available for the public not yet but soon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hope really soon, do we speak about days or weeks? I used DVBViewer with my SS2 and i was really satisfied with this peace of software. Unfortenately with encryption of euro1080 i had to change to twinhan and i am missing DVBViewer since then. Is there a possibility to get a beta or so? thanks turntoyou
deliol Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 thanks for the link. The driver fixed a couple of problems i had with older drivers. Christian <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm glad i helped a bit... Compared to skystar 2 , do you think the skystar 1CI is better in HDTV??? (I'm interested in HDTV mainly...) I know it's a completely different chip, I already have a skystar 2 with a motorized dish, but i'm looking for an official card solution for HD1 and since there is no official CI for skystar2 (as of yet) i'm tempted of buying a Skystar 1CI and an irdeto cam... Do you think that Skystar 1CI will be the successor of Skystar2 ???
hackbart Posted March 21, 2005 Author Posted March 21, 2005 soo many questions. Well the Skystar2 (resp. Flexcop) is almost one of the last cards at this price region who offers hardware filters. The conexant cards does not have such a thing so everything must be filtered by software which consumes time on slow computers. I guess the skystar2 should be first choice since the tuner seems to be a bit better. By the way the Skystar1 CI solution currently runs without any problem - there is just one thing which causes me some headache, but i guess it is just the CAM module. I'm pretty unsure if it is a legal solution to record HD1 by using a valid subscription. Nevertheless it does not sound too much illegal Christian

I too was under the impression that the Flexcop chip is better, now that i hear it from you too I'm sure... The Euro1080 company,in their "How to purchase a CA Card?" document clearly state that you can use their card in a pc with a satellite card with ci and an irdeto cam : "Those who would like to see Euro1080 via their PC, not only need a CA Card, but also a CAM module (IRDETO)." , so I don't think there is any legal problem viewing and recording their program in a pc....

hackbart Posted March 21, 2005 Author Posted March 21, 2005 fine - i just have had the german premiere company in mind which does not like to see this in common. I guess the biggest problem are the content provider who just want to avoid people creating digital copies that easy Christian
turntoyou Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 @hackbart For HD-1 it is legal regarding there contract. I am looking forward the new version of DVBViewer which support skystar 1 CI and i hope it is coming up soon. What kind of problems do you have with your CI Module? If it helps i am testing the alphacrypt TC CAM and may be i may some testing for you. turntoyou
Guest Oliver Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Let me add something: Violation of a treaty is not illegal. There may be consequences between the parties, but that's all. Bye, Oliver
hackbart Posted March 21, 2005 Author Posted March 21, 2005 @Oliver: Good to know to have you on board About the problem: I tested my Premiere subscription with my Alphacrypt CAM and somehow the stream freezes on P1-7 a couple of times within an hour. After this time the card does no longer send any transportstreams. This does not happen on channels like SciFi, Start or FTA. Christian
Technofriend Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Wasn't it so that they change the key quiet often. Maybe your freeze is caused by this.
turntoyou Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Wasn't it so that they change the key quiet often. Maybe your freeze is caused by this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not sure but it has probably to do something with changing keys. The problems i have is that if i start my dvb program on hd-1 (encrypted) the decryption not always work. This happend already many times and especially the scheduled recordings were left encrypted on disc. this is very annoying. The only that helps was to reenter hd-1 again, but this works only when you are at home. turntoyou
Pennywize Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 The Card at K&M for 85,64 Eur. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Engelbert, i don't find that card there, where do you find it?? Thx Penny
Engelbert Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 (edited) Hallo, at K&M | Onlineshop | Multimedia | TV-Karten Twinhan (Retail) Vision DTV SAT-CI PCI 85,64 EUR MfG Engelbert PS. Wenn man die Abbildungen der Karten ansieht (Technisat.com ! und TwinHan) ist das Hardware-Layot nicht identisch - verschiedenen Hardware-Versionen? DVBshop.net verkauft eine TwinHan-Karte - Modell 1030C, für 59,90, die der TechniSat-Karte zu gleichen scheint. Also vorsichtshalber abwarten! Edited March 24, 2005 by Engelbert
MuchM Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Is my interpretation of the search result correct - TwinhanDTV Sat-CI is NOT supported yet ? My screen remains dark - other programs work. Did I miss something ? Tnx
Griga Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 Not supported yet. Currently beta-tested in DVBViewer Pro 3.0.
hackbart Posted March 31, 2005 Author Posted March 31, 2005 and it works quite good. The only headache i have is caused by twinhans nasty non downward compatible driver solutions. Christian
turntoyou Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 and it works quite good. The only headache i have is caused by twinhans nasty non downward compatible driver solutions. Christian <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The newest driver is now 2.4.1.0 and with new thsource.ax. There seem to be a lot of changes. For example with winstb and the new thsource.ax the recordings are zero bytes long. turntoyou
turntoyou Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Actually, it's 2.602. Bye, Oliver <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are probably not right, i think you mean Twinhan dtv is 2.60.2 but the drivers are 2.4.1.1. mI still wait for a 3.01 DVBViewer (Beta?) so i can test myself turntoyou
Guest Oliver Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Um, I'm speaking of the latest driver release for the Twinhan card some days ago. Bye, Oliver
admi-ral Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 twinhan does some weird things with their driver-versions. if you install 2.602, the device-manager in windows shows up v. 2.4.... but the 2.602 should work (with DVBViewer 3.01)
kookoo Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 It's just great that DVBViewer will also support winhanDTV Sat-CI. Maybe now I dont need no other dvb software on my computer. I have both Airstar2 and TwinhanDTV Sat-CI in my computer. Will it be possible with this new version that supports also SS1-CI/TwinhanDTV Sat-CI cards to use both cards? E.g. will it possible to record with both cards at the same time? Do you have a release date planned for this new version? Tia, kookoo
hackbart Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Well you can use both cards, but right now not inside the same program. We plan something like this, but till then a few other modifications has to be done. I originally planned to update the release this week, but since there are still two problems with XML Parser and DVB Subtitles in Sweden/Finnland/Norway. I hope to upload an update next week Christian
daflory Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Hi there, I just installed 3.1 and the first things I found was a bug: the extended exit menu on pressing the powerbutton on the winlirc does not work! the normal shutdown menu appears but without any description: anything else is fine so far servus, daflory
Asgard Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Hi, i found a bug. I have 3.0 installed. But i think the bug also existing in 3.1. If you delet the folder you save in your records, DVBViewer doesn't bring an error or something like this. DVBViewer won't save the records. Greets Asgard
Guest Oliver Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 In this case \DVBViewer\capture should be used. Did you check this folder? Bye
Asgard Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 (edited) Hi, In this case \DVBViewer\capture should be used. Did you check this folder? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> no i haven' checked it. Now i've checked it. But theres nothing in (except a dummy.txt) Greets Asgard Edited April 17, 2005 by Asgard
aktizol Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Hi, I have a Windows XP with SP-2 and a Skystar 2 Satellite Card. While my DVBViewer Pro 3.1 works perfect in my PC. The new DVBViewer 3.1.2 crashes when i open the OPTIONS menu and changes something. I also can't view any channel from my favorite channel list. The program crashes whatever i do. Thanx.
darkside Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) Try deleting the setup.xml and start over. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just deleting the setup.xml didn't work on my system. Even the whole OSD didn't work at all. (Settings-OSDMenu:No entries) For what reason ever... The prog was still hanging up, so I had to install to a new directory. However, I managed to save my settings (keyboarrd, winlirc, news and so on) by playing the good old Copy/Paste-Game between both setup.xml's and by copying the favourites.xml. By the way, when trying to set the device inside the DirectX-Tab to "Skystar2 (Compatible)", the prog still hangs. After restart, the Reception-percentage-bar (whow, what a word) says always 0%. But believe me: when you've got it running, you'll love it! Edited July 14, 2005 by darkside
