Yes, I understand. I still get the crash during scan. I wondered whether that might be fixed in MC17.0.95 so I did a rescan but, unfortunately, not.
Yes, mine crashed at 89 of 101. Probably something to sort out later once the basic scanning and tuning is fixed. I didn't find much of a clue in the log, but I had turned off all logging apart from TV, so I'll have a go at a full log later this evening.
I have made the modulation changes but I still get the timeout waitng for writer error.
It sound like the card is working fine with jriver if you can actually get the scan to do something, so it doesn't sound like the card is hogged by something else. After the crash during scanning try a hard reboot (ie. completely shutdown and 'restart' rather than just a 'restart'.
In TV settings try and move the DVB-S tuner up the priority list to the top and move the DVB-C ones down to the bottom.
Try a free to air channel such as one of the BBC regional ones (I just tried BBC 1 Channel Islands). Edit the parameters to QPSK for modulation and make sure the polarisation has a value in it (I think it was H for this one). I didn't need to change anything else.
Double click on the channel once you're back in jriver proper.
You have an earlier Blackgold card to me, but I'm guessing the drivers should work similarly. The fact that yours tries to tune 96 things and mine 101 is probably due to some of them being DVB-S2 (which works on the 36** series, but not 35** series).
Hopefully get you fixed soon! Where are you based BTW?
