DVBViewer not decoding any of the UK T2 UHF TV channels, with blank program listings

[JohnH]

Hi,

I have used the DVBViewer App since 2012 and has been fine until recently when the house suffered a power failure that also killed the digital tuner card (BlackGold). I have replaced this by a TBS dual input card but I cannot get any T2 TV UHF channels to be output with DVBViewer.
 

The input source seems to be working correctly using a TBS6281se (DVB-T2/C2/T/C/ISDB-T/C/ATSC1.0 TV Dual Terrestrial HD PCIe TV Tuner Card).

 

The DVBViewer shows that the 2 inputs are present, but the DVBViewer screen shows “There is no matching DVB device available for this channel”.

The channel list shows all the terrestrial T2 TV channels (in blue) under “Edit & organise Channels” but is treating these as from a cable source rather than UHF TV broadcast signals (different decoding), with no option to change it to the correct over the air configuration.

 

In the past I have been able to rescan all the channels but this doesn't seem possible with the latest DVBViewer App.

Under TS stream it shows no transponders, under DVB-C (UK) it shows the Cable channels (even though there is no cable physically attached to the system). Nothing else is shown.

 

I cannot find a way of searching for the UHF terrestrial channels and have them displayed; everything I do just shows the “no matching device” message. I have spent a long time getting nowhere with this.

 

If any more information is required in order to assist with this then please advise.

 

 

Many thanks.

-------------------------

The requested information is:

Transponders & channel listing (from the channels listed in blue): 562/ 12, 570/ 13, 578/14, 586/15, 594/16, 690/28

 

Tuner - see above. Driver c:\windows\system\system32\drivers\   (3 drivers: BdaSup.sys & ksthunk.sys & tbs6281Se-v2.sys)

 

Graphic card - NVIDIA GeForce GT 710   Drivers: windows reports 75 files of which 46 have .dll extensions - too many to list, but the graphics card seems to be fine (displays video files of different types correctly).

 

C:\program data\cmuv\DVBViewer\....shows 7 directories & 16 links & files - If you want them I can send them to you ?

 

The Supporttool 1.8.1.0 gives:

Your Settings -> Options -> Hardware -> Device List contains two TBS 6281 DVB-C tuners - most likely, because you have installed the DVB-C driver. Please have a look here. For DVB-T/T2 you need to install the appropriate driver and then to perform "Scan Devices" in DVBViewer to update the device list.

The TS Stream reception type is related to Internet TV/Radio. It requires no DVB hardware.  You can give it a try by selecting TV/Radio -> Reception Settings/Channel Search -> Select TS Stream as reception type -> Load Channel List -> Internet TV (Int). However, the Internet TV list shipped with DVBviewer 7.3.1 is a bit out-dated in the meantime, so some channels may not work anymore. You can also download an M3U playlist from here (paste the M3U URL to your browser's address bar) that contains a huge collection of IPTV channels, and import the M3U file by drag and drop into the DVBViewer Channel Editor. More about it on demand.

 

Usually DVBViewer creates (virtual) TS Stream devices automatically in the background on demand. You have added two of them to you device list manually, which is only necessary if you want to change the TS Stream default settings.

 

P.S. Please also install these decoders to be well equipped. Use the installer and keep in mind that DVBViewer requires the 32 Bit version, so don't deselect it.
