SkyStar 2 PCI

If you install a bda driver on skystar2 cards it will NEVER show up as a network card but in audio/sound controllers as that tv star bla its normal the device works 100% with apps that support bda offcourse.
Mediacenter/ProgDVB/AltDVB/My theatre/DVBViewer ect

Only as i mention the lack of a possible proper diseqc support in bda drivers which has fixed in 4.50a

With the wdm driver it show up as a network card (which it was orginal designed for hence sat i-net and the tune app... back in those days there was no bda driver))

Man I couldn't make the BDA driver work, not with Mytheatre not with Progdvb.You mentioned previously the WMCenter I tried that with the BDA and it saw the card but then I wasn't able to find the Echostar Sat which is the one I can tune in from my place. Do you know something about finding this sat specifically.
Thanks

Echostar satelittes are broadcasting from 6 different orbital positions, pick the one you need, enter a active digital transponder frequency in the tuning app or any other dvb app with a signal bar and swing the dish until you have enough signal :D

I dunno precise eval and stuff for echostars im not in n.a.

It is important to have a clean install of windows 7.
and motherboards and chipset drivers.
Create a system restore point.
Then update network adapter driver to 4.3.3 beta and install it anyway if promts.
This driver will be no successfull updatet and then proceed again to technisat 4.5.0 drivers.
In most cases it will be successfully.
Im now with 7229 release 64 bit.

Technisat Skystar 2 DVB PCI driver 4.5.1
Hi guys on day 3 of my challenge to install the skystar 2 pci on my PC i think I'll give it up. Maybe it works only on pre-versions of windows 7? I use Windows 7 32 Bit Build 7600 its the offical full version. All BDA drivers keeps getting me a Bluescreen. The Network drivers will install sucessfully but they leave a yellow sign in the device manager with an error (code 10) all of the NET drivers. So what can i try further on?

One positiv mark is that Win7 is really stable after a minimum of 15 Blue Screen of deaths

Suggestions are appreciated

I havent followed this thread so this may have been addressed. when you installed the drivers (i assume vista drivers) were they installed in compatibility mode? also if you go to c:\windows\minidump, zip the dump files (*.dmp) and upload them to us so we can analyze them.

i install the drivers by using inf files in the device manager so i can't use the compatibility mode ?

Find attached the minidumps didn't get any info only Vista driver faults and that the symbols are wrong but i am not that pro in reading dump files.

Technisat Skystar 2 DVB PCI driver 4.5.1
Yes, i mean 4.5.1, 4.3.3 Beta, 4.3.1 and so on i didn't find any driver which will work all BDA drivers brings a Blue screen.

The Net drivers only show the card with a yellow sign.

Did try nearly all versions of drivers...:confused:

OS
Windows 7
Update: After an fresh installation of Windows 7 Professional Build 7600 32 Bit and another 5 hours of trying i will kick out this card where it comes from.

The support doesn't answer on emails so I'll sell this thing.

Conclusio: every BDA driver keeps getting a blue screen, Net drivers gives a Code 10 error i tried really all versions which are available. So be careful buying this card!!!:mad:

Nova , May be a hardware conflict. I just installed it on Win7 RTM. It works . Even the accompanied software DVBViewer T2 works.

Technisat Skystar 2 DVB PCI driver 4.5.1
Hi Patmos,

well i am one step nearer... i have installed APCI drivers and now i can install BDA drivers but i also get here a yellow sign. I'll restore a fresh image and try it further on at day 4 on my challange. Maybe a IRQ issue (code 10) but how to find out which one the card is using...

OS
Windows 7
It works

thanks god after 4 days it works... the problem may depend on the chipset drivers for P5B-E motherboard and the APCI drivers and i also cleaned the pins from the Skystar 2 card with alcohol (salycilspiritus)

First install new P965 drivers directly from Intel and not from Asus!
Second restart
Third Install APCI drivers from ASUS from Downolad Menue-> Utilities.

Then 4.3.3 Beta NET drivers restart...
4.5.1 BDA drivers and praying that it will work!

TE2 will works too but Attention on doing a Setup from CD or the driver directory only use the TE2 Setup nothing else.

*flump* i am drinking some beer now!

Happy with you. Chipset driver is very important to update. Check if you have SS2 with mediacenter. For me it says NO TV SIGNAL. BTW I also installed DvbDream and works great.

Technisat Skystar 2 DVB PCI driver 4.5.1
Got an answer from the technical Support of Technisat

He suggest me to update the Chipset drivers and (i was right) to clean the Pins (gold contacts) with a rubber which i 've done by cleaning them with alcohol.

Hope this will help someone else
