Influence Occurs on TBS 6981 When BBC HD Switchover

Recently BBC HD has switched to DVB-S2, and many users are worrying about if they will have problems in using their TBS products. One of the most popular TBS products in the UK should be the TBS 6981 PCIE DVB-S2 dual tuner card. It would be a terrible shock for British users if the TBS dual tuner tv card is not compatible with BBC HD channels. However, Tests are still ongoing, TBS is also trying to work out the best solution to make up this bug. Now just hear what the British users talk on TBS’s official forum.

One of the TBS 6981 user said that he got a ‘no signal’ error in 7mc when trying to watch the channels. Even though he had done a full transponder scan to no avail. While another user also met the same problem when he ran TBS 6981 on windows 7 media center, luckily, he found an additional single transponder scan using the following settings:

Carrier Frequency 10847 MHz
Symbol Rate 23000 kSymbols/s
Polarization Vertical

With the second try, he found two new channels. However, it’s still far away from satisfactory. All efforts are devoted to solve this problem. A smart guy said The Hauppage Tuners require a DVB-S2 patch for W7 MC to receive the BBC, ITV HD and C4 HD channels. So it would possibly apply to the TBS 6981 tuner. Good idea and offer us a new way to get through the question. Now some user can receive the channels ok but still getting quite a lot of blocking (pixilation) on the S2 channels format

Of course, TBS support team is still keeping an eye on this issue. You could read the original thread here http://www.buydvb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=454

If you have any other improvements or questions, post it in the forum or write directly to TBS technology support. Any suggestions and bug reports are welcome. We will try our best to offer the first class quality and best service for our customers.

What do the customers review for TBS 6984 quad tuner card?

It just works great with my window7 media center

By Richard, W

I’ve had this quad tuner about 3 days from TBS’s official store. And I can say, it just works – and it works well with my window 7 media center. – It’s really what TBS can do this. With the PCI express slot available, it is very easy to setup the card on pc. Running Win7 media center on an I7 homebuilt HTPC, the card doesn’t seem particularly problematic with incoming signals. Before this, I have downloaded the driver for windows from attaching CD. As TBS refers, this quad card is also compatible with the Linux system. But I haven’t tried. I was deeply impressed by the scan speed of the TBS 69841, which only took three and a half minutes to scan the satellite I want. Every search can be restricted to free-to-air channels only, which is particularly helpful as the PC card does not come with a CI slot for pay TV reception. The most important is we’ve had all 4 channels when the busy several times !We now watch basically all the satellite TV on PC, and between recording shows, – Support has been good from TBS and all it all, while pricey, this card is WELL WORTH IT, if you want HD in your PC– Long awaited, and an excellent product!!

Unreal experience… if you own an HTPC, you need this card

By Ivan

I built an HTPC four years ago. At the time, the only option to get HDTV in Windows Media Center was use a TV tuner card. Most of them are single tuner. There is a rare of quad tuner tv card. I was one of the first people to receive this quad card. I must say, this is the best tv tuner card I have ever used, Without question, this card is unbelievable! It is SIMPLE to install the card. Further, assuming you have a satellte technician who has any experience, it is easy to set up in Windows Media Center. I am so pleased that this quad tuner records 4 shows at one time without any problems.

The price is Ok for me .just look at it as an investment. It’s an investment in sanity as there are no more battles over what gets recorded. It’s an investment in technology because my system can do things that a single or dual tuner tv cards could never accomplish.

Awesome and perfect!Absolutely Five stars.
