DVB-T USB tuner for nbox
Installation description for Windows (based on user description: xhary):
1) download picoStick (74e) PCTV drivers - from the manufacturer's website (http://www.pctvsystems.com) or the tested version 2.0.5.904 from the files section of the satkurier.pl website (DOWNLOAD, theoretically the version has been modified and should be able to install manually without the need to perform the following steps), and then extract from the ZIP archive to any directory,
2) after connecting the DVB-T USB tuner from the nbox HDTV and reporting the system about the failure of driver installation, go to the Device Manager (available in the Control Panel), find the connected tuner (it will be the first element with an icon indicating the problem - no drivers), click on right-click it, choose from the Properties pop-up menu, go to the Details tab in the new window, and select Equipment IDs (second item) from the drop-down list.
3) open in any text editor (it can even be a system Notepad) the PCTVabi.inf file that knows the root directory with the unpacked drivers and look for the section described as:
[PCTVSYSTEMS.NTx86]
- for x86 (32 bit) systems
[PCTVSYSTEMS.NTamd64]
- for x64 (64 bit) systems
In order for the drivers to install, you must replace the second line in the section appropriate for your operating system, which is in the form:
% =% AbilisTuner2.DeviceDesc Abilis.Device1, USBVID_xxxx & PID_xxxx
Where instead of "xxxx" the appropriate numerical values are to be read from the Device Manager windows (Equipment identifiers). After making corrections, save the file.
4) We close the Properties window in Device Manager and right-click the tuner again, choosing Update Driver Software from the context menu ... Select Browse my computer for driver software and manually point to the directory with the extracted driver and the corrected PCTVabi.inf file. The system will ask if you want to continue the installation, we confirm and after a while the DVB-T tuner is ready for operation.
Unfortunately, Windows 10 will not want us to accept drivers so we are looking for a password on YouTube:
Windows 10: Installing non-digitally signed drivers.
And according to these guidelines, we run the system. And we install our driver.
If someone matches my improved driver, he will have a faster understanding of the topic.
