TwinhanDTV Alpha USB2.0

[Harryo]

I have just purchased a TwinhanDTV Alpha USB device which is used for receiving Digital Terrestial (Freeview) TV and Radio stations here in the UK.

 

The software that I am using at the moment is the beta version (2.603) of TwinhanDTV, although the program works fine I do not really like the interface.

 

Will 'DVBViewer' work with the TwinhanDTV Alpha USB tuner?

Ouch, well in both cases it works, but...:

I got the current beta working with the usb starbox, but the video bucks a lot (at least on my normal pc, the laptop runs with)). I have no idea why, since the skystar2 usb runs superb on both systems.

Another biig problem for the DVBViewer (as well as for other programs) is the fact that the twinhan hardware filter based cards/boxes only provide 8 hw filters. Since we capture a couple of pids (teletext, audio, video, pat, pmt, eit, tot, etc) it is a real pain in the a** on such a restricted device.

Anyhow the USB 2.0 BDA solution should work without any problems (i did not test it).

Thank you for your quick response.

 

I have just checked the Twinhan website and they have listed two DBA driver files for the TwinhanDTV Alpha.

 

One file is 'WHQL certified' and the other is marked 'Latest March 2005', will check with them to see which BDA driver they advise using with DVBViewer.

Hey.

 

Would you be able to post a report on whether or not you got DVBViewer to work with the TwinhanDTV Alpha USB2? I've got the same device and consider the same step towards DVBViewer, but of course, as with any investment, it'd be fancy to know if the software will work with the hardware.

 

Thanks,
