We use some custom apps to do it, but you can’t just pull it from the card and ship into wowza. They pass off the transport stream to the PCI bus which can be picked up by various playback programs. They don’t decode/encode or otherwise do anything with the actual audio/video services inside a satellite mux. Richard, the Twinhan cards are just generic satellite receiver boards. You can refer them to these guides and ask them which one to follow, or if they have any guidance for publishing to Wowza. Hope this could be of help to anybody! I’ll post about the Creative Soundblaster Live! 5.1 soon.I would search through the Live Encoders section, specifically at the the hardware encoder guides, to find one that seems applicable.Īnd/Or ask Twinhan support. Now I can enjoy using my ProgDVB on Vista 🙂 The good part is that now when you open ProgDVB and open the “Device list” dialoge from the Settings menu, you can find a new device called “ MediaPortal DVB-S”.I decided to select it ad guess what, IT WORKED! With the drivers I just downloaded (you have to restart first!), I went ahead and configured Mediaportal and guess what, it detected my card and started scanning for channels 😀

I stumbled upon a nice Media Center style program called Mediaportal ( ), so I decided to give it a try.

Installing these BDA drivers didn’t help me much in trying to use the card in ProgDVB! look for BDA driver and download the one appropriate for your model number (you’ll find it on the barcode on the box). The automatically installed drivers didn’t work here either.įortunatley, Twinhan provided updated drivers on their website ( ). I really like to use ProgDVB as I got used to it and I’m not so much into a home theatre PC setup (yet). The drivers that are automatically installed by Windows don’t cause problems, though they are not of any help because the programs simply won’t detect the card. They simply didn’t work with any of the satellite programs (ProgDVB or Windows Media Center). The supplied WDM drivers that came with the CD crashed Vista into a bluescreen whenever I tried to install or uninstall them. The other thing that really bugged me was the inability to use my Digital satellite card (Twinhan DTV DVB-S VisionPlus 1025). I overcame this problem by installing the unofficial kX drivers (I’ll post about them later). To start with, my soundcard (Creative Soundblaster Live! 5.1) was detected, but I was only able to use it as a 2 speaker soundcard not a 5.1 speaker setup! I am quite impressed by the new user interface (Aero) and the several other enhancements though I have been constatly bugged by the several incompatibilites that I ran into! Well, I decided to go on and upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate.
