Use of DVB-S and DVB-S2 in Windows® Media Center
If you want to use your Max S8 card in Windows® Media Center, you must apply for both reception
formats simultaneously, the following workaround:
Set the operating mode for all tuners of the MaxS8 to
"DVB-S"
In the Home menu, select
"Ignore NIT Lists in Windows® Media Center"
Load as normal your transponder list in Windows® Media Center, using the
“Control
Center”
or the
“DD channel sorter for Windows® Media Center”
.
Save the settings and close the DD Control Center (reboot may be required)
If you have loaded a transponder list by using the DD Control Center or the DD
channel sorter for Windows® Media Center, disable in Windows® Media Center
under Tasks -> Settings -> General -> Automatic Downloads -> the first checkbox (CD
Cover, media information DVDs and movies ... ")
Run the setup Wizard in WMC for setup the TV signal. If you have loaded a
transponder list using the DD Control Center or the DD channel sorter for Windows®
Media Center, select in the wizard at the step, "Update TV setup data ->No" because
otherwise the loaded data will be overwritten with the Microsoft® transponder lists
again.
Run after Setup under „Task -> Settings -> TV -> TV signal -> Satellite transponder
scanning – a “Complete tranponder scan“.
Afterwards start the DD Control Center again.
Set the operating mode for all tuners of the MaxS8 to
„DVB-S2“
Save the settings and close the DD Control Center (reboot may be required)
The setup for Windows® Media Center is now complete. Should there problems occurs, run once a
complete transponder scan in Windows® Media Center, with the setting for all tuners on
"DVB-S2"
.
