Experiencing some diffculty

Messagede vk4khz » Sam 1 Fév 2014 11:38

Hi
I am experiencing some difficulty in getting my TT S2-1600 operating with my WIN7 32 Bit system.
I have the following error messages in VerifMatos V3.0 - hopefully someone can advise further as I am running out of patience.

Hello,
You can use last version to check your card, with English sentences.
http://www.vivadatv.org/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=262

But I think your problem will not be solved. 4F1C is an unknown value for me.
Technotrend ID is "13C2"
S2-1600 product ID is "101C"
S2-3200 product ID is "1019"
so for a Technotrend S2-1600 we get the ID values : 13C2-101C

you can find some ID values here : http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/DVB_BUDGET.html
As you can see we cannot find 13C2:4F1C
your product ID seems to be 4F1C but I don't know any Technotrend card (13C2) with this product ID
2 solutions:
- your card is not a Technotrend S2-1600
- your card is a Technotrend S2-1600 but ID value has been changed by a bad value in eeprom memory. ( it can arrive !)

Have you also tested the Technotrend BDA driver given with this card?
What say your Device Manager about this card?

If it is really a TT S2-1600 I can change value in software for your card.

Hi Jean Pierre
Many thanks for your assistance.
I have spent maybe three weekends trying all sorts of things - drivers install, delete, reload etc. in an effort to get the card to function correctly. I have also tried the card in two different computers one running WIN 7 64 bit and the other running WIN 7 32 bit without success. The strange part is that the computer which is now running the WIN 7 32 Bit operating system (after I upgraded the operating system recently from XP) originally had the card installed and it did work sometimes under the previous XP system. When I say it did work "sometimes" under XP it was very unstable in so much that it would work fine one day and the next day it would not...this is why I decided to try WIN 7 32 Bit.

I agree with your diagnosis it seems the card has an incorrect product ID number ..... how this has occurred I have no idea but I think the solution for me is to purchase another s2-1600 card.

The latest version of VerifMatos is EXCELLENT in assisting with fault diagnosis - Many Thanks!

Regards

If CheckTutiouneDriver gives you always same Product ID, I can build a special version of Tutioune1600 for your card and send it to you.
You could test if there are no others strange results with this card.

Hi Jean Pierre

Thank you for the custom file I do appreciate your assistance and support.

Unfortunately I still have a problem with this card
I am now receiving the following revised information;

Windows Version used:
Windows 7 Home Premium Edition, 32-bit, (Build 7600)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PCI card detection
->1 card with SAA7146A detected.
Driver "SAA7146A", Version 3.0, Build 20060624.
I2C communication initialised.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
error reading Register $EF at address $A0

I now have:
PILOTE SA4166 - GREEN
IC2 INITIALISE - GREEN
CARTE CONNUE - RED
DETECTION DEMODULATEUR - RED
DETECTION SYNTHEISEUR - RED

In addition - When opening the custom file i received the following message "could not use the universal source filter"
Also - "OPERATION EN VIRGULE FLOTTANTE INCORRECTE"

I have now ordered (purchased) a replacement s2-1600 as I think your initial prognosis is correct - there appears to be something odd about this card.

Best regards

My new card arrived today and it seems it has worked first up!
I now have all 5 LED in Green!

It seems that the original card was in fact faulty.

Hi Jean Pierre
I now have some limited success with the new card however I am receiving the message "impossible to render video"

Using the latest version of Check Tutioune V4.3
PCI Card - I have 5 green LED's
Direct Show - I have 4 Green LED's and 1 Red LED (Your QSL jpeg file is red)
Play TS from file - All red LED's - When I press this button I receive the message " An object or name was not found ($80040216)"
Network - Both LED's are green
DMA Type 1 - Both LED's are green.

I have plugged an antenna feed into the S2-1600 card from my satellite dish and I can monitor (see) the data streams from a known transponder but I am unable to demodulate the video.

Do you have any thoughts/suggestions.

Regards

Shane VK4KHZ.

Hello Shane,

** 1 Red LED (Your QSL jpeg file is red) ==> you need to put a picture ( your QSL) named "TiouneQSL.jpg" in the same folder than CheckTutioune

Play TS from file - All red LED's - When I press this button I receive the message " An object or name was not found ($80040216)"
Network - Both LED's are green

==> you need to put the video file "F6DZP_TEST.TS" in the same folder than CheckTutioune ( CheckTutioune has not found it when you ask "play TS file")


I have plugged an antenna feed into the S2-1600 card from my satellite dish and I can monitor (see) the data streams from a known transponder but I am unable to demodulate the video.

there can be many reason why you don't demodulate video
- you have not given good PIDs for audio and video
- Auto PID detection is not set ON or found PIDs that cannot be decoded because they are not free, they are scrambled ...

You can send me a snapshot of Tutioune in EXpert mode? I could say more.

Hi Jean Pierre F6DZP,

I have two areas of questions on v0.4b. I am not sure whether to start a new topic...or to add my question to this topic?
    I am using S2-1600 board on very old Pentium4 (1.8 GHz) on WinXP.
    I am transmitting using one of the new DATV-Express boards using 2.2MSymb/sec and FEC=1/2 on 1292 MHz
    The video displays well for somewhat less than 20 seconds...then freezes a frame (see below)
    The LOCK appears 100%
    But my CPU processing-level monitor utility bounces to 100% around the time that the video freezes
    My STB receiver and my SatLink WP-6918P DVB-S monitor tool do not suffer any video interruptions.

Image

My first question is what speed CPU is required to run v0.4b/S2-1600/WinXP?

Another question is concerning the English language "http://www.vivadatv.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=235#p580" user explanation info. The display page is too wide for the settings I use on my PC display. I can not see details on right side of information...if I try to print to PDF...the information does not get captured (cut-off) on the right-hand side.

My second question is "is it possible for you to put this TT1600 Explanation Details document into a PDF, perhaps in landscape-format?, so that it can be downloaded for offline reading?

Thank you for your efforts...de Ken Konechy W6HHC
