Which software for the StarBox VP-7021?

[ken2400]

Just wondering what software will work with the Twinhan StarBox VP-7021 usb box?

I have mytheater working now.
Any others? What drivers would I need if any?

Thanks

It's been a while , but I thought ProgDVB was supposed to support it.
Don't think I ever got it to work... probably my fault.

I did get MyTheatre to work pretty well. But only after lots of blood sweat 'n tears.

Later (a year ago) I went looking for something better, and my first choice, DVBdream didn't do the Twinhan USB.
Well, it might have handled the "A" model, with BDA drivers, but that's not what I had.

So, I moved on to a PCI card...
...and eventually a stand alone FTA receiver.

edit:
Oh, here is an old discussion of such things. Give it a read.

Thanks for the info Anole. I do need to pull the box apart. It does overheat.
Anyone else have software ideas?

Thanks again

What a bum design! The box REALLY needs more vent holes!.
I like how there is a second cable connection that can be used on the tuner.

It was easy to open so I hope all works well now.

Thanks

Ken -

Here's the thread where I documented how I kept my Starbox cool.
It's at least good for a laugh.
