Hello everybody,
Almost 4 years ago I decided to buy a TBS 6220 since this was the only card that was compatible to CrazyScan 2 and able to be used for DVB-C by installing the combined driver in Windows. I was always wondering why this card sometimes was listed up in the device manager (at that time in Windows 8.1 and nowadays in Windows 10) and sometimes not.
After rebooting once or twice the OS the TBS 6220 appeared in the device manager. So did my TBS 6925 which I have sold in the meantime and the new owner (I had informed him about this before selling) has not complained of having such problems. I am using a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H mainboard which was brandnew as well when I purchased these cards. Unfortunately I have never found out what the source of this problem was. Bad windows drivers of TBS, my mainboard (drivers) or what ever else. If I had an other mainboard with PCI-E slots I would have tried to exclude at least the mainboard.
The TBS 6220 is never listed up in device manager after waking up Windows 10 from Standby as well.
Therefore I am using now an Edision OPTI-Combo DVB-C/T2 USB stick which works very well and locks much faster when chaning the frequency.
It's a pity I cannot rely on the TBS 6220 under Windows.
Have you got any ideas what I could test to find out what the cause of this misbehaviour is ?
Does anyone own this card here ?
I would like to hear if these problems are driver based or not.
Maybe some of you are using it under Linux (as well) and the driver there is better ?
I would like so much to build up a VDR using the TBS 6220 for DVB-C but this makes only sense if the OS is always initializing it.
Thank you very much for reading in advance.
Best regards.
