How to install Skystar 2 PCI on Windows7 RC
Posted: Tue May 19, 2009 8:18 am
I had a hard time to get my SS2 card recognised in Win7 I got the error message'' HARDWARE AND DEVICE DRIVER MUST BE INSTALLED
BEFORE APPLICATION SOFTWARE". I tried the procedures below listed on sevenforums
1. You need 4.3.3 BETA DRIVER !!! Download here : :: DVBSkyStar.com - Support for PC SAT Cards // SkyStar2, HDTV, DVB Software
-go to downloads section and then drivers section
2. Uninstall everything which refers to SS2 (old driver and apps)
3. Disable Network card to prevent automatic updates to update wrong driver (Maybe unnecessary, but I did it and it works now so..)
4. Restart PC
5. There should be unknown device in device manager
6. Update driver and select location of 4.3.3 BETA driver
7. Now, after driver installs succesfully, go to 4.3.3 folder and run setup as an administrator, complete this installation.
8. Restart PC
9. Install DVB DREAM 1.4i 10. Enjoy Windows 7
BUT in vain then I did this
My SS2(?) was always shown as network controller in other devices ( audio ) in Device Manager. I tried all drivers from latest to ver 4.3.3 beta but in vain. At last I updated the ? Network controller icon in Device manager with my old Technisat CD (Ver 4.4.0) et Voila now it appears in network adapters as Technisat DVB PC TV Star PCI#2. I ran DVBDream and it makes me happy. I configured four satellites on Diseqc and all channels and levels came as it had been on Win XP. My onboard audio was realtek. MOBO is Gigabyte EP45. Graphic Geforce Nvidia 9500GT. Technisat did not provide support and will not until win7 full release. note I installed only B2C2 driver from the CD.
