Dumb question: installing BDA on WS2008 makes Fujitsu-Siemens DVB/T-Analog USB to work?

Am not really sure about analogue tv, but digital tv works. You can try installing my current pack to see if your analogue works

Since its winamp plugin, you need winamp to get it running.Ofcourse you can try to port it for other apps too, because its open source.
After the plugin scan for channels it will display them in winamp and you can save them as simple playlist and load them at any time.It also supports recording with hardware encoding, if the tv tuner support it, it works with dvb cards etc etc.
I cant test it right now, but if you really need a way to watch tv, then you can give it a try.
Also dont forget to configure the plugin properly – it will need proper filters to render the audio and video – in my case i installed Power DVD 7 and its filters was available in the options.

Sounds interesting, i will test sometime soon. and will let you know….
thanks

Have you tested the winamp tv plugin ? I cant tested right now, but it worked great on vista with Theatrix 550!

nice find, but can you actually use this plugin without winamp, and use it with other tv applications? Were talking about server 2008 tv support here, it works on vista, but server 2008 is a different story.
anyways i will test it and will let you know.
Thank you

I have no access to Vista64. If someone could point me to the appropriate x64 files, I’d appreciate it, thanks.

i have made a setup.exe pack for server x64 BDA. x64 bda on server is a little bit more confusing compare to x86. the files are in “syswow64” and “system32”
i will upload the setup pack for bda support on x64 systems by tomorrow hopefully. just need to test it before i upload.

Hi,

A Million thanks for sharing this information. I used your manual method. My Avermedia PCIe Hybrid works perfectly now!

Only suggestion i have would be to make a package with all the files. It took quite a bit of effort to track them all down as I didn’t have easy access to a Vista machine.

thanks. if you look at my setup.exe package i made recently it has the files there BUT only directx files which are part of BDA functionality, its much faster and less hassles, basically BDA on server in 2 quick steps.

Your suggestion is most welcome, but distributing vista files in a package to get BDA on server is illegal. thats why i just made a setup.exe package to ease all hassles.
in my package
get BDA vista files.exe = to grab all the necessary files that needs to be present on server for BDA to work
BDASetup.exe = Installs and registers all vista BDA files on server for BDA functionality

Thanks for your suggestion and nice to hear my solution worked for you

i copyed bdasup.sys from vista x64 to win2008 c:windowssystem32drivers directory, now after reboot i get this error

Error loading streamci
The specified module could not be found

but after the second reboot it’s all ok and dvbviewer see the card

wohoo!! see told you it will work. “bdasup.sys” is located in c:windowssystem32drivers you just have to browse there when its asking for that sys file.
anyways report back any issues or anything so ican work on it. and any suggestion are most welcome.

i tried your automated setup too, but doesn’t work. I think because i used it from an Italian Vista Ultimate X64 Sp1 to an English Windows Server 2008. Tomorrow i will try from an english Vista.

Thanks

dont know whether it will work on x64 version, never tried it. but same here, will test it on a server 2008 x64 to see if it works. by the way, server x64 is very strict on drivers as vista x64, as far as i know technotrend drivers are not WHQL Certified, which might prevent you from seeing your tv device in dvbviewer. i had a technotrend dvb-s2 3650, but got rid of it on ebay because of poor driver support and no WHQL certification. now am on hauppauge dvb-s2, works like a charm on server 2008

Doesn’t work for me…..when i run register.cmd for all files a pop up shows can’t load module error….and dvbviewer doesn’t see my technotrend S2-3200

can you help me?

it will work, just try my setup file i created, this will automate everything without any hassle. it will install bda function on server.
do a clean install of server and run my setup file. DONT USE MY OLD GUIDE AS ITS CONFUSING FOR SOME PEOPLE AND 1 MISTAKE CAN LEAD YOU TO NO BDA AT ALL ON SERVER UNTIL A CLEAN INSTALL.
here you go just download the my setup file and more IMPORTANTLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Download the file
Link:
http://www.mediafire.com/?h1ndmyymjmv
or
http://rapidshare.com/files/112849779/bdaforserver.exe

Double click on the downloaded file, and it will extract as “bdaforserver” to your windows
installation drive,thats were the setup MUST be runned from, otherwise it wont work
IMPORTANT:IN ORDER FOR EVERYTHING TO WORK, RUN THE SETUP FROM WERE YOUR WINDOWS
IS INSTALLED (C OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK (THATS WERE IT EXTRACTED)

ON VISTA

1.
Double click the “Get BDA Vista Files.exe” this will get all BDA files from vista and will
place the files in folder “SOURCE”
thats done SIMPLE
Now save this whole folder “bdaforserver” as this folder will be required on server

ON SERVER

2.
Install server 2008, and place this “bdaforserver” folder you saved before
on your windows installation drive. REMEMBER, THE “bdaforserver” MUST BE IN YOUR
WINDOWS INSTALLATION DRIVE (NOT DESKTOP OR ANYWHERE) OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK.

(OPTIANAL)
Install desktop experience from server manager>ADD FEATURES, as this will install some missing
filters and codecs, just to be on the safe side. restart after installation

3.
Go to “bdaforserver” folder, and Right click on “BDASetup.exe” and choose “Run as administrator”
after that your computer will automitically reboot. after reboot windows server will prompt you to
locate and install these pnp devices. just click cancell for all them.
thats it done. SIMPLE

I highly recommend you to install a decent codec pack, as there are no codecs, filters on server.
K-LITE CODEC IS THE BEST ONE, or VISTA CODECS

NOTE:EVEN THOUGH THESE FILES DONT TOUCH MAIN SYSTEM CRITICAL FILES OR SETTINGS, AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY DATA LOSS OR DAMAGE, USE THIS METHOD AT YOUR OWN RISK.
