GiGaBlue Hybrid DVB-C DVB-T2 Plug and Play Tuner Module

[dikkidave]

Got one of these from the world of sat shop, it says plug and play.. i've plugged it in but cannot find it, tried looking in tuner set up, plugins, ran software update etc.. would i need to reflash the box with a diff f/w, could it be the f/w im already using isnt compatable with it.. or am i just missing some very easy point.

It should just show up under Menu -> Setup -> Service searching -> Tuner configuration.
If it's not showing up, I'd first check to see if it's seated properly.

Back again, just had 2 attempts at unplugging it and sitting it back into the slots, looks to be sat perfectly every time but it still a no show. safe to say its deffo seated correctly
thanks

Try reflashing with no settings backup so & see if it shows up then.

No joy at all, tried 3 different f/w (vix) and none of them picked it up. is there anything else i could try? what is the possibility of the module being duff? there's no real way of checking it out is there apart from in a different box
thanks

No idea so. I have the same tuner card & it just worked on both GBQuad & GB800UE+, swapping between the two without the need for a reflash.

If it's not working as P&P or on a fresh flash with it seated properly, maybe return it.
Can only say I've had no issues whatsoever with mine using current released & test ViX builds.
