Your support needed: Tuner Collection Thread

Post by Christoph21x » Tue Dec 25, 2012 12:50 pm

Dear All

We need your help:
The second most viewed article in our Wiki is "Supported DVB/ATSC cards" (http://www.argus-tv.com/wiki/index.php? ... ATSC_cards).
It shows that this topic is of high interest and that doesn't fit somehow to the incomplete state of it. If we want to support new users considering to use Argus-TV, we should make this list as complete as possible.

We need your support for that, please.

If your device isn't listed there, please add some details to this thread.
ALSO, if you know, any card is NOT working with Argus (maybe even under a certain OS platform).
The aim is to give a helping hand.

Please copy the following section, fill in your experience and post a reply here - or expand the Wiki article on your own - we would like to assist and help you there:
(simply supply the information that you have)
  • Working / NOT working? Yes/NO/limited
  • Tuner Card Manufacturer & Homepage: .....
  • Tuner Card Name: ....
  • (Connection) Type: USB, PCI(e), external, internal, Firewire, TCP...
  • If DVB-S, does it support DVB-S2?
  • Does it support ATSC or other standards (which?)?
  • Does it support DiSEqC?
  • CI/CI+/CAM slot available?
  • Remarks? (Experience, Warnings, especially needed drivers, restrictions, problems, etc.)
Thank you very much in advance,
with kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Christoph,

Seeing as "ARGUS TV Recorder supports most DVB-T Tuner cards which use BDA Drivers", should we add DVB-T cards? I've got 3 different ones I use/used here in Australia.

Thanks.

Yes, I think we should be adding DVB-T cards too.

It's much more reassuring if you can see your card listed as working.
You can fix it, or you can fix it until it's broken. I usually choose the latter.

I see it exactly the same way - the more precise and reassuring we can be, the better - especially for new users.

Working / NOT working?: Yes
Tuner Card Manufacturer & Homepage: Digital Now http://www.digitalnow.com.au
Tuner Card Name: DigitalNow Quad DVB-T Receiver
(Connection) Type: PCIe
If DVB-S, does it support DVB-S2? N/A (supports DVB-T2)
Does it support ATSC or other standards (which?)? DVB-T/T2 only.
Does it support DiSEqC? N/A
CI/CI+/CAM slot available? No
Remarks? (Experience, Warnings, especially needed drivers, restrictions, problems, etc.)

4 DVB-T tuners on a single PCIe card. Low profile (bracket available). Comes with a remote (not tested).

Excellent card. I had signal problem on 1 of the tuners that was fixed with the latest drivers (86.1.801.2012). With the ability of Argus to record multiple streams from a single MUX, this is near perfect for Australia where there is usually only 5 main (plus 1 minor) MUXes in each area.

It's very compact & works well in a low profile case (you need to request the extra low profile bracket when purchasing).

It has a single antenna input & needs a relatively strong signal (can overcome a weaker signal with an amplifier).

I'll add the HVR-2200 (DVB-T part of the hybrid) & a couple of AverMedia tuners in the next day or two.

omg it works...

Pinnacle PCTV 300i BDA DVBT tuner pci card

ive just tried the recording function, so at the very least i can use it to record tv shows... great!

didnt wanna update to frodo but i must if i wanna try watching live tv. im getting lazy...

i paid 120€ in 2005 for this piece of shit and it seems that finally i will have some use for it.
sw from pinnacle was awful bloatware and they tried to extort money out of you for newer versions and other free alternatives i tried didnt work.
i wish i had found this a year ago before i bought a cheap hdtv external pvr, oh well...

great job!!!
