Twinhan Mantis BDA driver for  DVB-S/-T/-C

This driver can support Mantis based DVB-S(1033-CI), DVB-T(3040-CI,3024-FTA) and DVB-C(2033-CI) cards.


For differnet applications, please install with the corresponding INF files.

For non-MCE but BDA based application (like ShowShift) or DVB-S/DVB-C, please install with the dfault "MtsBDA.inf".
For MCE2005 Emerald-Rollup 2, please install with the default "MtsBDA.inf".

For previous MCE2005 & DVB-T, please install the corresponding inf files in the folder \INF,
1. In Australia, please install with "MtsBDA_MCE_AU.inf". 
2. In Taiwan, please install with "MtsBDA_MCE_TW.inf".
3. In UK(VHF/UHF:8MHz, like UK), please install with "MtsBDA_MCE_UK.inf". (The default "MtsBDA.inf" should also work.)
4. In Europe(VHF:7/UHF:8MHz, like Germany), please install with "MtsBDA_MCE_EU.inf". 
   (The default "MtsBDA.inf" should also work.)

To install DVB-S, please refer to MtsBDADriverNote.txt for proper settings in inf file. 

To enable DVB-S support in MCE2005, please refer to readme4MCE.txt in \MCESupportPackage.
To enable CI support in MCE2005 or other 3'rd party's S/W, please refer to MCECIConsole.TXT.

A BDA utility (THBDAConsole.exe) is included. With this utility, users may change the BDA default settings after
driver installed. 

Usage for THBDAConsole.exe:
   If THBDAConsole.exe is launched with the parameter -S, it's started in minimized mode on the task bar.

   For MCE2005 Emerald-Rollup 2, or BDA applications, like Showshifter, PowerCinema 4, WinDVR6...,
      The option "Auto setting by country (for MCE)" "MUST" be un-checked.
      Two other options "MCE_FreqTranslate" & "FixedBandwidth" "MUST" be set to "None".

   For previous Windows MediaCenter (MCE2005) DVB-T users,
      If the option "Auto setting by country (for MCE)" is enabled, the driver settings will be changed for 
      MCE2005 accroding to the location of Windows XP installation.
      The location setting can be changed in "Control Panel" -> "Regional & Language options" -> "Location". 
      To enable this option, users should make sure if the location is set correctly.
      By default, the option "Auto setting by country (for MCE)" is enabled.

      The option "ShiftFreqScan" determines if off center frequency scan(+-167KHz) will be done or not in MCE2005.
      For each DVB-T channel MUX, MCE will scan triple times, the central frequency F, F-167Khz, then  F+167Khz.
      Our tuner's frequncy range tolerance is larger than +-167KHz, so there will be triple programs found.
      Disabling this option can improve channel scan speed and eliminate the duplicated programs found.

To facilitate driver installation, a setup program "THDrvSetup.exe" for WIN2K/XP is included in this package.

==========================================================================================
Known issues with MCE2005
1. MCE2005 does not include any MPEG2 decoder, so you should install a MPEG2
   decoder first, either IVI, Cyberlink, Elecard, or NvDVD.
2. Not all VGA cards can support MCE2005 well, the only VGA card we test ok
   is Nvidea GeForce4 MX440 & MX4000.
3. Please be sure to install Audio driver well before running MCE.
