Thread: QQ-Box USB DVB-S Tuner - Unknown Device?

This driver autoselects to run with 64/32. Have had no problem with Intel duo core or AMD64.

Just getting familiar with VLC in case LME issues the Linux QQ Box 7395 Driver.

Using VLC Vista app. until I can load new Linux driver in Mythbuntu.

What I found useful is that VLC allows increasing the audio level to 400%, which is needed on a laptop for easy listening. Also the audio equalizer is very nice.

Hi everybody

Welcome to the forum.

No it is not the QQ Box.

There is a long thread on the Q Box on the satellites.uk forum.

I received the QQboxes today, I ordered 3 of the cheapest from ebay.
They work well in DVBdream and win7 64bit! However, they diseqc switching does not work. I probably just need to find a plugin for DVBdream I will sort it out later, I received the dual mode microwave sensor for my car alarm so I gotta go install it

RBM-

Thanks for the pics. I notice that they did not grind down the USB PCB board. That is a change from earlier V05. You don't need to use tape on the board.

DVBDream comes with everything you need to operate a 4 port DISEqC switch. I never had an issue with that. You seem very knowledgable but I'll ask anyhow. You know not to plug the power on while connecting your switch?

I'm curious, are you going to run all three on one pc?

That confirms earlier post of w7 working and 64bit.

Adam,
I setup the qqbox with BDA drivers in DVBdream (''DD'') on 2 different computers. When I came back to my computer there was no signal anymore. I have never had one diseqc switch properly in win7 32 bit and also in 64bit. I am still testing all the device options and properties to see if i can find a winning combonation.

I am using the tuners in media center, it's the best PVR available. Using DVBlink it is possible to link up to 4 tuners with DD into media center for recording and eye candy and mooooore. I also have 1 genpix skywalker.

That's way too cool, I have alot of questions about that.....maybe you can write up a tutorial on that. I don't believe I could even get DD to work in media center. I thought that all the drivers had to be MS signed.

DVBlink takes care of all of that. About a tutorial- it was one of the most frustrating setups I have ever done and there is no way I can remember all the details. The support isnt very good but I can help get u thru it if u want to post your steps.

It is a $30 USD piece of software but worth it once u get rolling.

With free to air channels you should be able to use media center out of the box, no?


Update: I cant get the qqbox to get any signal in win7 64 bit. Switching does not seem to work in win7 and DD at all. I am very familiar with diseqC settings.

About hooking up the wires . . I always ground the rings before I insert the cable to dissipate any charges. Havent had a problem yet. Just in case, I swapped out one qqbox and the problems remain.

Even though the QQ is self powered I am going to free up a back USB slot on my puter since those front ones are useless with power sipping devices (just recording my debug process in case I forget what worked lol).
