TBS6903 or other options?

[Daniel6791]

Good morning.

I'm having an installation next week (Triax TD1.1 dish, Darkmotor or TM2600 diseqc motor, Technomate TM5402HD CI Super+M3 & Black Ultra LNB) but understand I wont be able to get the 4:2:2 feeds on an M3 so and have been recommended a TBS6903 DVB card which I was going to have put in my PC for the 4:2:2 feeds using EBSPro/CrazysScan for blind scanning - (PC spec- Windows 10, Intel i7 9700, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, PCIe)

My question was are there any other options other than the internal DVB card? I see there are external USB TBS tuners but not sure if they are any good? Or maybe use a different receiver (that will take BISS) for the 4:2:2 feeds? Not sure I'm want to take the PC apart (bit of a novice with this but willing to learn!)

I'm trying to get the fastest feeds for for most top leagues and am willing to suffer a little less quality for speed.

Thank you

Daniel

There are external usb cards available, @barney115 and others use them with great success and as for your concern about taking you're PC apart it's usually just a case of a couple of screws to remove the access panel at the side of the tower and just slotting the card into a spare socket on the board and removing a blanking plate at the rear of the tower, regards

Thanks for the reply

Doesn't sound too bad, I'll get the big boy pants out and go for it!

External USB devices should be USB3.0 rated or they might not send the video into the PC smoothly. The USB2.0 port is not guaranteed to have a fast enough data rate for smooth action video.
The TBS 5925 external USB device I have is USB2.0, fine for scanning with EBS Pro and CrazyScan but not perfect for smooth video streaming.

You need a professional grade receiver to get smooth 4:2:2 video.
Consumer grade receivers cannot cope with it for provision of constantly smooth pictures.

The GTMedia combo consumer grade receiver can give pictures from 4:2:2 feeds to allow you to see what is on a feed.
However, it cannot provide constant smooth video for 4:2:2 feeds.

A professional grade receiver such as an Ericsson RX8200 (now MediaKind RX8200) with mpeg4 HD 4:22 licensing enabled aint cheap, start thinking in bags of sand.
Also, they are a higher level of complexity to operate, no hand held remote control and no on-screen graphics or menus.

Go for an internal TBS6903 or internal TBS6902 card, problem solved.

Apologies, you did mention the Ericsson receiver previously, my mistake! I've gone with the TBS6903. Just got to get it all up and running now!

Thanks for all your help

Hey did you get it up and running in the end? Just wanted to know how you got on and how is it going. Are you using DBS viewer to stream feeds?

I think "Daniel" wanted to watch the 4:2:2 feeds rather than stream them externally.
I suppose if you sent the 4:2:2 feed from the TBS card to a viewing app/device within your LAN you are technically streaming them but internally.

Hi

Like @moonbase said i was wanting to view 422 feeds rather than stream them.

FYI I followed @moonbase advice above and all working perfectly fine
