Are DVB-S2 cards supported? [and Technotrend DVB S2-3200]
Moderators:X05, Dreamer, FredB
If so, what cards are supported / tested?
I ask because someone else has asked in other forum and I'm not sure about it...

all DVB-S2 devices with BDA drivers should work in theory, but I didnt get any "success" report from users yet. / not tested.
I will make a detailed list on the site for supported cards soon, with detailed models and + / - of the device interfaces.

DVB Dream - because I have to dream about having time to code it
With Technotrend DVB S2-3200, DVB-S channels are working with no problem. Unfortunately, my favourite HD channels, specifically those broadcasted in DVB-S2, are not tuned. I suppose that not all modulation settings are tried in the afftected transponders. Can be anything wrong on my side?all DVB-S2 devices with BDA drivers should work in theory, but I didnt get any "success" report from users yet. / not tested. [...]

I've exact the same problem with my Technotrend S2-3200 card and the newest DVBdream 1.3.
Someone a solution or is this a common issue?
Also the TwinhanDTV CAB-CI (2031) for receiving DVB-C doesn't seem to be recognized by DVBdream. I use the latetest BDA driver 1.2.3.8.
Also for this issue a solution?

I've tried many settings and parameters for scanning, but no luck with scanning DVB-S2 channels and Technotrend S2-3200 and the latest DVBdream 1.3a. No problem with DVB-S channels !
Observation: till now only ALTdvb 2.2 seems to give very good smooth image on all H.264 channels. The makers did some magic tricks. DVBviewer Pro shows many stuttering.
I use the following hardware/software:
* Technotrend S2-3200 PCI card + CI and latest BDA drivers for satellite reception
* Twinhan DVB-Cab CI PCI card and latest BDA drivers for cable reception
* Processor: AMD Turion 64 ML 44 @2.58 Ghz
* ATI Radeon X1600 Pro AGP - 512 MB videocard
* 1GB RAM DDR 400 Mhz memory
* using overlay mixer
* Dscaler5 version 0.08, ATI Mpeg decoder or Nvideo purevideo --> Mpeg2 video decoding
* CoreAVC Pro 1.2 --> AVC/H.264 Mpeg4 video decoding
* AC3Filter 1.11 --> Mpeg audio + AC3 decoding
* Terratec Aureon Space 7.1 audio PCI card using SPDIF to DENON receiver
* MSI k8N Neo Platinum motherboard (nforce 3 250 Gb chipset)
* AlphacrytCam + IrdetoCam

Extra info
I've scanned ASRTA2/Eurobird1 and BBC HD (H.264 DVB-S channel) is in the list.
Tested this channel with CoreAVC Pro 1.2 decoder. Image is very good and smooth without any stuttering.
So, I believe there is no H.264 problem with DVBDream. It seems there is indeed a DVB-S2 detection problem with DVBDream and Technotrend S2-3200.
[/EDIT]
I'm candidate to test Beta versions if possible.

Can anyone check if v1.3a still can't tune DVB-S2 transponders on Technotrend S2-3200 card ?
because I will try to change something in v1.3b.
v1.3a can't tune them yet. Thanks!
Also v1.3b can't tune them yet. Please let me know whether you need further information reported.

Short message:
Since DVBdream 1.3 C DVB-S2 channels are detected correctly and can be viewed using the Technotrend S2-3200 receiver. Although, the CPU load is still very high in comparison with other software viewers like DVBviewer and ALTdvb. The video image suffers from stuttering. So, till now no fluent image stream for DVB-S2 channels. (see my configuration in a posting above this one)
I don't know what the difference is between DVBdream 1.3 c and the newest ALTdvb 2.2 viewer, but this last one gives me the best image and very smooth video using CoreAVC 1.2 software decoder. Also CPU load is very good. Both for DVB-S H.264 and DVB-S2 H.264 channels.
Also mentioning that DVB-C is also working now using Digtal EveryWhere - FloppyDTV DVB-C/CI !
