Thread: USB DVB-S2 TV Q-Box

Hi everybody

I just wanna ask if someone knows about this DVB - USB card (
USB DVB-S2 TV Q-Box [TBS QBOX S2] - .99 : Buydvb online store

) and how it work with ProgDVB ?
I've motorised dish , and use windows-vista + core 2 duo.

Thanks in advance

It looks like a S2 version of the Match Box Pro.

I would love to hear more about this unit.

I hope you will tell us how this new Q Box works with S2. You might get some helpful info. from the DVB World DVB-S2 thread. Good Luck.

After fighting with dvbdream for a couple days, I finally scanned the NBC HD DVB-S2 channels on 103w. It works...my only issues are with dvbdream, which is the only app so far that I have got the motor to drive with(Stored positions only).

I'll post back when more apps add motor and S2 support for this tuner.

Ive never had any luck with DVB Dream driving H-H motor, always goes the wrong way.

ProgDVB is flawless in USALS or DISEqC 1.2

Whats the video look like, ive heard it is jerky.

You have to purchase ProgDVB to get S2 and H264 to work.

ForestKlown-

If you have occasion to open up the Q Box II please take some pics and post them along with the chipset used.
Please post some screen shots too.

S2, h264, and motor support for your Qbox2.....enjoy.
p.s. i believe that hardware was personally tested by the author. Give the stable version a try first.

@1ADAM12
this is from an email from TBS
"We have USB DVB-S2 box called "QBOX II" (that is out-of-line product and is replaced by "QBOX S2" which has different hardware) that is using STV0903."

merkin-

Thanks for the links, very useful.
Still hope to see some PCB board pics from someone.
