Terratec Cinergy HTC USB XS HD driver problem

I upgraded my driver for the tv tuner stick to 5.09.0813.00 a while ago, and since then the reception on DVB-C has been really poor. Before, DVBViewer would find 50 TV channels, and after it would find somewhere between 3 and 9.

I have used countless hours trouble shooting, trying new cables, shielding, tuner software, until I finally tried to downgrade the driver to the one that came on the CD.
So a good advice if you have a Cinergy USB stick: Do not use the driver mentioned above

Use 5.8.630.0 instead. It works like a charm.

  1. Hi,

    Already tried with the new 5.09.1202.00 drivers ?

    Did you ever solve the stuttering on 1080p ?
    i've almost the same setup , but not all my 1080p videos are stuttering sometimes.
    I think it has to do with a specific codec.

  2. No I haven't tried them, maybe I will give it a shot. I have only tried a few 1080P videos, they work fine when played in DvbViewer

  3. If you have problems with studdering on HD, try Arcsoft Codecs or Microsoft.
    Do not use Cyberlink Terratec codecs.
