Sundtek Help Needed, Tune Failed! Problem

[darken9]

I have a vu+ duo and a Sundtek Media Pro usb tuner. I'm running Vix 3.0 Build 808 Kernel 3.1.1 and installed the Sundtek Control Center Plugin from the plugin feeds. I set it to DVB-T and did a full scan which found all the Irish channels. But I get a "Tune Failed!" error message when I select any channel. Also the box runs really slowly after the fail until I tune back to a satellite channel.
Is it possible that the signal strength is strong enough to scan but not to watch?
Ideas?

I have the same tuner without ananalog and FM functions (MediaTV Digital Home III). It seem`s Sundtek needs to develope new drivers. My stick works faintly as DVB-T tuner in DUO2, Ultimo and DM800HD. But no sign of promised T2 function. Markus Rechberger from Sundtek promised to come back with this matter within few days. In Finland I`m using Iceland (Europe DVB-T/T2) setups for this stick. I don`t know about the Irish frequencies.

Heres my 2 pence worth of advice.
Throw that Sundtek tuner in the bin.
I spent 18 months having nothing only grief with it.
I tried it in Duo, Gigablue Quad and DUO2 and it was a nightmare.
I then got a loan of a PCTV NANOSTICK T2 (290e) and that worked 100% no issue.
The only issue was that it was only 1 tuner.
A few weeks back I got a Playstation PlayTV and its 100% solid in my DUO2.
It has 2 DVBT tuners so I can record on both Muxes at the same time.
So for ireland Id recommend the Playstation PlayTV as T2 isnt needed.
Its only €30-40 so its cheap as well...

I have 2 pcs of 290e. Not very reliable. Just waiting for the answer from Sundtek.I love Your country. Left my heart to Connemary.

Weird...
Seems to be hit and miss with USB tuners...

Maybe not just with usb tuners, but it seems to be difficult area when it`s about T2 tuners. Still it`s good to realise that T2 is going to be the format for terresrtial broadcasting for the future. Even in Germany.
