Your night show seems to be getting very popular, and adds new content and followers every day.

Why don't ask QQ about exclusive NA distro status? I'm sure they realize value of this thread and its host. Aren't they getting tired from selling of EBay? :up

Sharp BS2F7HZ7395 DVB-S Tuner

Attached is the Sharp Data Bulletin (not really a datasheet) for the tuner used in the QQ Box.

Sad to say that the first QQ Box was received DOA with bad Sharp tuner. Now the second QQ Box has died. Same problem, the Sharp tuner is crap.

I found that Avnet is the only supplier I could find that lists but does not stock this tuner. 2000 / min. order.

Hi,

A few days aggo i received my QQ-box. The driver on the cd LMEBDA_DVBS7395C likes only to work with teh blazer software. It don't work fine at all. DVBprog say there is a signal but no level at all. Like that i can's get a lock

Here i find the DVBS_SHARP7395_20090317_x86_x64 driver and works a lot better. DVBprog don't see any signal or level but i get some FTA channels, like that i can't scan new channels

But the problem what i get is that i can receive some FTA channels but other FTA channels stay black and sometimes I here a little sound

Hi Solomine, Welcome to the site.

You don't have upload priveleges on site until you reach 12 posts.

ProgDVB Needs a different driver LME_DVBS.


Step3:
Plug-in for ProgDVB ( Tested in ProgDVB4.84.4):
Copy the LME_DVBS.device to the ProgDVB\Modules folder and select it in ProgDVB Settings, Device list to work.

There are instructions in a word doc file that I posted earlier.

In BlazeDTV sometimes I get black screen and little bits of audio, try reloading software for BlazeDTV.

DVB Dream and Blaze video work with the 0288 driver posted in the same archive.
Sometimes BlazeDTV does this same thing Black screen small bits of audio and then crash.
Are yiou running Vista?

AltDVB will not work with any of the drivers LME has made.

Stay tuned for the release of the new Linux driver.

Hi,

Like you can see on the screen dump can i look some channels. I have the LME_DVBS.device in progDVB,

 

[1ADAM12]

Hi Solomine-

Interesting post you made.

I did tell Prog about this problem of no signal levels. He thinks it is the LME driver.

I have one good QQ Box. Two others with bad Sharp tuners. The bad sharp tuner may cause this problem.

I had always thought that Sharp made good products, but not any longer. It may be that QQ Box factory is getting reject tuners from Sharp.

DVB Dream works much better with QQ Box.

Hi,

Here you can also see the differents between the driver. In the first pic i show the driver who i get in the packed. This driver works verry bad, only with Blaze i have some freezing screens. With PogDVB i have sometimes some signal about 76%, but no level. It's always stay's black. Only the EPG i can read.

The seccond picture, here i used the driver i found here. Thisone is working, but not all channels. Maby a bad tuner ?? My experiece with sharp is not bad, Do you know how i can test the tuner ?.

I go try DVB Dream en let you know

In ProgDVB settings, device, please select LME DVBS device that shows ver. 1.26 and 1.29.
This works in ProgDVB ver 6.30.01 for me.
In DVB Dream Please select 0288 device upon install. This works good for me.

 

[Solomine]

you can see it here, when i change the driver in DVBprog I have the first few seccond sometimes longer signal and level like in picture 1. Screen stays black on different channels. Picture 2 shows signal, no level. And you can see the driver is 2 times on the list.
Picture 3 this driver not works at all

Sharp DVB-S tuners are crap

Hi Solomine-

What version of ProgDVB are you using?

ProgDVB is often flaky about reporting SQ and SL.
The black screen is either a codec issue or your tuner is broken.

I had the same symptoms in BlazeDTV before the tuner stopped working.

Does BlazeDTV do this same thing?

If it's any consolation, LME does read posts here. They may report to QQ Manufacturing about how many bad tuners there shipping.

Hi Adam,

I'm use the ProgDVB 6.32.0.

Like you cn see on both pictures there is some video signal and audio. On both channels. The FTA channel stay's black. Sometime's i hear a little sound.

Only with the DVBS_SHARP7395_20090317_x86_x64 driver

 

[Solomine]

Blazer gives good level and signal. Scanning channels is posible. Only blazer work verry bad.

 

[1ADAM12]

Hi Solomine-

Please explain your setup more. I gather you have CA for the encrypted channels. Are they running on a PCI card with a cam for smart card?

How do you have the QQ Box set up? Is it used in ProgDVB at the same time as your subscription card and in the same computer?

I notice that ProgDVB is not re[porting SQ or SL for either FTA or Sub channels.

Sharp Tuner DVB-S What's inside?

Picture of what's inside Sharp tuner.

 

[Solomine]

I think the sharp tuner is broke, i tried different program like DVBprog, Blazer and dvb Dream.

On the transponder 12.515 GHz. H 22.000 5/6 avery thing stays black
12.344 GHz. H 27.500 3/4 work fine

Like that i have some transponders who works fine other transponders stays on black.

The question is is the sharp tuner realy sharp or chinese fake.

I used the box with a simple setup is a 60 cm antenne with a single alp LNB. It's on the astra 1 on 19.2E

 

[1ADAM12]

Hi Solomine-

Yes the Sharp tuners are made in China. So much stuff is today. It is the only way to compete for low prices.

Both Boxes I got from QQ Manufacturing have bad Sharp Tuners. LME is a good company in China. But this manufacturer who makes these QQ Boxes is not proud of their work. They will not respond to my emails. They don't care.

But the customer will remember.
