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

Mike-

LME is a fabless VLIC enterprise with connections to the local university. The LME 2510C is a rock solid product. Unfortunetly the driver and Sharp tuner are a different story.
In Shenzhen,China there are many electronics firms that are doing their best to survive in this economy. The Factory that makes the QQ Box most likely makes the Q BoxII. However, I have been told the the Q BoxII designers? are a group of four people and may have copied someone elses design.

I would like to see pics of the inside of the Q BoxII and identity of chipset.

I'm migrating to Linux. Had enough with all the Windows crap.

What is the problem with windows?

The QQbox seems to start up really slow, at least in DD. Not really a problem but it is a bit odd. Also, having to select the Device, as I pictured above, is something that I do not need to do with my other tuners.

I have it running with media center now with no switch, I will see how the QQ reliability is in win7 32 over the next days.

I haven't seen that.
At this time your running only one QQ Box in MC?

Adam, do you know if QQ box will work with Dish network? I have Dish 500+ and got 110, 119 and 118 satellite. I just bought this QQ box and reading your post and playing with it but still no Pic. Windows 7 and XP, no issue with the driver but no picture..

Welcome-

When I connected the QQ Box to a Dish 500 direct to the 119 lnbf, I experienced a fault condition that the driver created hi current in the box. I suggest you try all the different lnbf circular/legacy settings in BlazeDTV. You might find a setting that works. Now that Ion,nasa and Angel are N3 you wont see anything. Better to use it for FTA with a 36" dish.

Thanks for your reply, I will play with the blazedtv settings. I am also interested in FTA which I never had before. I don't know which dish I need, switches, lnbf...ect..

Start out looking in your community for a Primestar oval dish. They are very good and you can often get them free. Another source is shut down businesses with 1 meter POS dishes on their roof.
A 90 cm offset dish will give you good service for Ku and even a little of c band if you search the site for mini bud you'll find more info.
Go with a Standard Linear LNBF from our sponsors or EbAY.

The attached manual has a very good section on BlazeDTV software.

Adam, finally I got this QQ box working with only Blazedtv. Sat is locked and signal streangth is good and found 21 channels on 110 sat. But there is no Picture in blazedtv, channels shows green around their box. Is there any Codec do I need. Anyone have this problem?
