pünktchen 1264 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It depends on how much money you are willing to spend. I would go with Digital Devices. They have the best DVB cards imho. http://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/en/cine-series/sets-und-bundles/15/dd-cine-s2-v6.5-und-duoflex-s2-v4-set-4-tuner-dvb-s/s2-for-pcie Expandable up to 8 tuners or 6 tuners with only one shared CAM!

mini__me 23 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately I don't have an answer just a fellow TBS user, I'm sure they'll fix it shortly.My server has 1x 8920, 2x 6921, 2x 6981, 1x 6964.....I have two mini dishes and a big motorised If you fancy splashing the cash you cannot beat Digital Devices kit, just seen they have a MAX S8 model with 8 tuners in one slot...awesome Edited September 21, 2015 by mini__me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenH 16 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Blackgold http://www.blackgold.tv/ I use an older 3595 dual DVBT/DVBS (4 tuners), works perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
politby 88 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I would also add my endorsement of the digital devices products. However I am starting to move my tuners out of the server and on to the network. For less than the cost of 4 digital devices tuners you can get an Elgato NetStream4Sat network tuner. I have one and am extremely happy with it together with DVBLink. Most stable platform I have had so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceboy 2507 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I sold my 6984 for £80 not long ago... U missed out there!I know, I thought that at the time Although I've had no more luck with the s8 max, I need to get back in touch with digital devices. Didn't work properly in my test setup and I thought that was due to not having 4 feeds connected, moved it to my live PCs and still the same. Could be because I have it connected to 4 feeds from an Octo lnb but I can't see why it would be different to using a quad (not a quattro, had to read up on that!). All 8 tuners working but none pick up the vertical frequencies in the low range. If only I could somehow combine the 6905 and the s8 max I'd be golden!

Spaceboy 2507 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 so, i went back and tried the s8 max again, its all working now. i think possibly i may have had a slightly loose connection on one feed and i guess the s8 max's magic where it produces 8 streams from only four feeds needs all the feeds working perfectly. how does it do that by the way? anyway i now have up to 24 encrypted stream available at any time. should do for a while!
