Why do the Zadig (SDR#) and Realtek DTV drivers conflict with each other? I can't use the dongle as a TV tuner and SDR tuner at the same time.

Different modes of operatiton: the DTV drivers pick out a DTV channel and decodes that to video and audio as a TV receiver for media player software. The Zadig driver puts the device into a 'special debug' mode to get the two quadrature signals, the I and Q signals, over a frequency range of up to a few megahertz centered on a selected frequency that are needed for SDR programs. These two modes do not 'play nice' with each other and to make them do so would greatly complicate driver design. Neither those who sell the device as a TV receiver nor those who want to use it as an SDR front end have much incentive to do that. With the I and Q quadrature signals, the SDR program can decode not only DTV signals but also AM, FM, SSB, and anything else someone wants to go to the trouble to write a demodulation routine for (like ADS-B or weather satellite or digital modes). I haven't seen any routines for DTV or ATSC demodulation of IQ signals but that is likely because those using the device for SDR have other interests and the compute requirements would be rather high. Keep in mind, too, that the Realtek DTV drivers are proprietary to be provided with the hardware to enable its designed usage. The Zadig drivers are reverse engineered FOSS that use the hardware in ways the device manufacturer never really intended.

because how each program accesses the Dongle it is either going to see tv signal or audio frequency. you can not do both at the same time

why mys will not pick up not one radio station I using SDR#v 1.0.0 1430 RTL-SDR software and zadig ubs Drivers nothing but noisy

Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up. I didn't experience any of the problems I thought possible. I have a portable phone, wirelee PC, wireless printer, wireless sub & my wireless router (all within about 4 feet of each other). I haven't had any issues whatsoever with any of piece of equipment, so far. Currently the TV is connected to the net with an ethernet cable to the router, so I don't know if I ever go wireless with the TV connection, if it will present a problem.I did notice, somewhere in one of the manuals, that if a channel conflict were detected it would look for a clearer one. Again, I'm happy as can be with all facets of this setup. The TV & soundbar are unbelievable! Since my original post, I've gotten the package & set it up.

Absolutely that's what I'm using it with you just have to get the rite software to use it goes by the firmware in the radio something like bfb 293 mine you hold down the 3 button and turn on the radio .the wrong driver does not see the radio. jon b ka2jby

n00tz, I am not sure of the difference, but the reviews on the NooElec were good and it was indicated that there was diode protection on the antenna input, which protects the chips if too much power is input through the antenna. I have the NooElec R820T SDR & DVB-T working on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Ubuntu Linux. If you use Kari Linux, the GQRX radio software is included and the dongle is plug-n-play.

Yes, I had trouble. Bought one to use on a feature, converting the SDI signal from our BMCC 2.5K to HDMI for video village. It worked for just a few days, but then wouldn't convert the signal anymore. I remember wiggling wires, and randomly the signal would come through, but from that day forward it never worked again. I was disappointed it only lasted a few days before "breaking" or whatever happened. I returned it for a refund after I returned home from the shoot.

I have spent the last two weeks trying to find an external TV tuner that is ready for the digital TV next February. I have searched all over the internet. I am also looking for a stand alone tuner. I have found analog standalone's. I have found digital usb tuners. But I have not found a digital standalone. I gave in and ordered a $40 coupon from dtv.gov so that I can buy a digital converter and use the analog tuner.Hope this helps!Dave

You can get the vendor driver at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid;=48&PFid;=48&Le;vel=5&Conn;=4&DownTypeID;=3&GetDown;=false&D;ownloads=true . dmesg says that it's RTL8192CU, but lsusb says it's rtl8188cus. I couldn't get it to work with 64bit Linux version 3 myself and I ended up using the built-in linux kernel driver instead. But that driver is flaky and will not reconnect, which wasn't a problem until I moved my computer to a different room, which was farther away from the modem. I ended up getting the Medialink- 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter, which uses the Ralink rt2870 chipset and has worked well so far.

Ben, I can't thank you enough for your reply. Unfortunately, I don't know how to uninstall the D-Link drivers without uninstalling everything connected with this product! 1) Can you give me a step-by-step for this? 2)Where can I locate the exact US Robotics drivers for this product?Sorry to ask for so much...Gratefully, Fran

FTDI driver, just go to their website, I only use these cables and never had a problem.

I just got into software defined radio as a sort of hobby. As far as the remote goes you don't use it when using the DVB-T usb stick as a SDR radio. The DVB-T usb stick is normally a TV usb stick used overseas. But they use the PAL TV system. The US uses the NTSC TV system. As far as I know you can't use this stick for TV in the US. You tune in frequencies in the SDR software manually.

Same thing happened to me. It actually took out my DirecTV signal and had to restore the link between the unit and the TV. One one peripheral device ended up working, so I sent it back to Amazon. Refund processed quickly.

Sorry man, no idea. I just Googled my drivers. Mine still works like a charm.

Dear friend I did some research and found the driver file for your Dongle, its a .RAR file will open with a Zip utility please follow this link to get this file its the only one there. Let me know you received the file be sure to back up the file and save it for future use. I did run this first to see if it works with this dongle since I own the same thing. Please email jcrowder0027@gmail.com telling me you received the software. Also make sure the dongle is not plugged in when installing the software I hope this helps you. Click this link if not able to click the link copy and paste it into your browser. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By8TY0scvDsXSDZrTUhackZBVjA/edit?usp=sharing

I have had no problems with either software. The cable works well with both. I hope this helps!

C.Tortora, what wireless adapter did you get, if you don't mind me asking? I think the only option for the DMP-BD70V is an ethernet wireless adapter. Any recommendations?
