Just a note:

I am experimenting with the TBS6903X and found that CrazyScan refuses to use the card - the SCAN button is not available. This does not happen always, I think, but I have not discovered the reason. Perhaps it is because it gets mixed up with the TBS5580, also connected.

With EBSpro the card works, but doing a blind scan is really slow.

I think that VMA Stream Reader is not slower than EBSpro. In fact, I think the Linear Blind Scan is actually faster (if configured correctly).

So I am not sure how to improve the Windows experience.

I would like to see the performance under Linux/neumoDVB, but honestly I struggled to install and use it. I found it too complicated and I don't have the time and patience right now. This is not to say that neumoDVB is not a great software (which for sure it is) - it is my personal limitation at the moment.

Perhaps someone can share a VM container (VirtualBox would be ideal) with a fully setup neumoDVB, ready to use?

Here is a brief guide on Ubuntu 24.04 on how to work with neumoDVB after installation. I should mention that I am not in a Windows container, but directly on Linux.

You've probably read @deeptho's link on how to install neumoDVB and the drivers, but for others, it's good to know about that link.

I'll also add that some kernels are not optimized for versions 24.04, I think, 6.11.0-24-generic and 6.14.0-29-generic, and probably others as well.

My Ubuntu 24.04 and Kernel version.

Just tested and working well - 8 simultaneous channels!

You may have two problems:

1) Weak receptions

2) Computer not powerful enough to handle this much data

satesco Thanks!

I have it working in a container, I can see the TBS5580, but somehow I don't understand how to scan the transponder:

Für mich auch kein Problem mit 12226V auf Hotbird

It appears I have a bug after the last update to neumodVB. Because of this, when I try to scan, the app crashes on both standards, Cab/Terr.

I need to report this to deeptho. I didn't have time to deal with it; it wasn't a priority for me.

But the setting for the cable is as shown in the picture.

I managed to get this far, but how do you the actually start the scan?

**satesco** · September 17, 2025 at 7:14 PM

from DX tab--> then Scan_choose the card

Ich habe auf 16°E vertikal die verschiedenen Scan-Typen und deren Ausbeute durchlaufen lassen, im Vergleich zu EBSpro und IQM.

Im DX modus oder kombiniert, dachte ich schon, ich hätte die 6903x erwischt, war natürlich alles mit der 6908.

Pattern Recognition

Linear

DX

DX+linear

EBSpro

IQM

Beim DX-Scan ist hat das Verhältnis Dauer : Ausbeute sehr schlecht. Ob man da bessere Einstellungen findet?

PC cards SkyStar USB HD,Definition of BDA ..... program VMA Video Analyser stops working

**VMA** · September 17, 2025 at 9:26 PM

VMA Stream Reader only supports tuner with full support.

Tuner with partial support won't work, except TBS6903X.

Hi. Has anyone tried DVB-I from:

19E/11008.50V

?

"No valid service found in the stream", also in DVB-I Images

- Final teletext bug fixes for G0/G2 glyphs (bad glyphs in rare cases)

This page was driving me crazy:

femi danke für deinen Vergleichtest. Ich habe auch Mal probiert und finde die TBS6903X ist für einen Scan einfach zu langsam.

In allen Windows-Programmen.
