Mon, 24 Jun 2024 12:36:18 +0000 https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/tbs5580-third-times-the-charm.410918/ 410918 invalid@example.com (ancient) ancient After the failures with the TBS6910SE and the TBS6903X, I tried a USB connected tuner, specifically the TBS5580. Same dish, same LNB, connected to the same Tvheadend backend, but this time it appears to be working with no signs of the "interference" that plagued the TBX6903X. Unlike the USB model it replaced (the TBS5520se), the TBS5580 comes with a 12 volt power supply and input jack. Therefore, it is not dependent on the USB connection for power (which was apparently an issue with...

Preliminary results are it does work, including for DVB-S2X. Here are the settings I used in Tvheadend to receive the signal we all want on 97°W:

Delivery system: DVB-S2
Frequency (kHz): 4120000
Symbol rate (Sym/s): 34286000
Polarization: V
Modulation: 16APSK
FEC: 25/36

Nothing was changed in the...

I had to remove an existing card to make room for the new one so I removed one that was connected to a disk pointed at Galaxy 19 at 97° and also to a second C-band dish pointed at another satellite. The first problem is that Tvheadend doesn't seem to have any settings for DVB-S2X, so I tried using DVB-S2, but also it doesn't have a setting for the 25/36 FEC now used by ABC. I did find that...

TBS6522H Multi-Standard Quad (2SAT+ 2Ter/Cable) Tuner PCI-E Card​


This in my email this morning, looks like it does ATSC1 on 2 antenna ports. Too bad it doesn't do ATSC3, but not much of that around yet especially up here. I didn't post a link I am sure google will find it.

Hope CrazyCat is doing ok, thinking about his situation.

The TBS Blind Scan tool would work - lock and scan and find channels but DVB Dream and ProgDVB would lock but not find any channels. This was with the drivers available from the TBS website and the current build of Windows 10.

I looked up the problem and couldn't find a solution that worked or made sense from the DVB Dream forums. A...

I can not find the power adapter. It calls for 7.5 volts at 3.5 amps. Don't know that I need that amperage as I won't be moving a dish with it. I hooked it up to a pyramid power supply and the tuner works great. Just what I need for my Pi400 running arch linux. Only TBS card I have that will work with Arch is my 5520SE and it is iffy. The 7500 works fantastic but the power supply is a little overkill, a tuner the size of a pack of cigs, but a power...
