    DVB-S2 Tuner Card for PBS

    It is strange about the 8922, it is the ONLY device that I ever had that locked up my computer when trying to install. I even assembled a new computer based upon a ASUS P8Z77-V LE motherboard. Unfortunately that MB only supports SATA drives (the only type on this MB) with XP/SP3 so I could not...

    DVB-S2 Tuner Card for PBS

    Update Got the Prof 7301 and it works fine, see this post for my update. At this point I am again a happy camper, my recordings via the 7301 can be a single file and does not require any correction for proper playback. My microHD recordings were a pain to use. Never got the TBS8922 to work...

    Prof 7301, 7500 and 8000 Tuners

    Prof 7301 Update Update: Have been using a Prof 7301 in Windows XP and TSReader 2.8.47c for a couple of months now without any problems. This setup is used for HD recordings made from AMC-21 (PBS), Tp 24. Below is a sample batch file: @ECHO OFF REM...

    GEOSATpro IR file for Crestron or Pronto Classic HEX

    Do not have the codes for the microHD but I used a Coolsat 8000HD in the URC editor for my MX-850 remote and it worked for most of the keys. I had to learn just a few from the supplied remote. So I would check Remote Central for Coolsat 8000HD in Pronto format. My editor will not export hex codes.

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    I have a fair amount of equipment and it is powered up (or down) via macros on the remote control(s). When we go into the media room we do one or two button pushes to bring up all the equipment and lighting. I always power cycle devices with VFD because they will lose their brightness over time...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    Have not done anymore than what was noted above. Have been using TSDoctor to assemble multiple files into one file which plays fine via NAS and Blu-ray player. The most irritating thing now is clock drift, it is in manual mode and it drifts several minutes every couple of weeks or less. I have...

    Prof 7301, 7500 and 8000 Tuners

    Anyone using a Prof 7301 in Windows XP and using TSReader for the control software? I know TSReader does not have a native 7301 source module but hopefully the 7301 will work with the generic TSReader_DVBSBDASource.dll module. Can anyone confirm? Is there any viewer software that will work with...

    GEOSATpro Power, Timer and Random Issues - Solved CFL Light Bulbs

    I have macros on my remote control to shut down the media room equipment and lights. One night recently I activated the shut down macro and all the IR equipment responded but none of the X-10 devices responded (lighting and equipment via appliance modules). In fact hardly any X-10 anywhere in...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    Have watched 2 hours worth of content recorded via AMC-21, TP24. The playback was from a Panasonic Blu-ray player from files stored on a Synology DS212j NAS. The signal level & quality were ? 90%. The 1 hour show files were joined using File Joiner. There were some video aberrations, I know a...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    Tried the Copy cmd with the /B switch and copied multiple files to a single file and tried to play it via the Panasonic Blu-ray player via my Synology NAS server. The file would not play. Did not try the Copy cmd without the /B because I downloaded a Freeware utility by IgorWare called File...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    I have some recordings scheduled for tonight. Tomorrow I will use the copy cmd to create one file and see how that works out. Thanks for the copy function reminder. I will build another HTPC soon and will install my TBS8922 card into that computer. If all goes well the TBS8922 + TSReader will...

    GEOSATpro HD DVR Recording Playback Problem

    Did a two hour recording of a HD show (from PBS) via the microHD then played it back using the DVR function. At most every file change there was a aberration in the video (freeze frame, jump frame, etc.) and it would cause a momentary mute on the audio processor. Anyone else experience this...

    GEOSATpro MicroHd

    Bypass as in no processing or levels being set to unity. For example, the “Brightness” level control has a range of 0 to 100 so at what brightness setting represents a digital out of 16? OK, you lost me on that one. AFAIK, 0V = Reference Black. From SMPTE 274M: I will have to look into...

    Hauppauge HD NOVA S2 PCI Card

    Have the Hauppauge HD NOVA S2 PCI card as well. Purchased the WinTV v7.2 disc from Hauppauge and installed. Selected digital DVB-S/DVB-S2, single LNB entered 10750 for LOF1 and scanned AMC-21 but it did not return any channels. Note: when one selects Single LNB you would expect LOF Switch and...

    GEOSATpro MicroHd

    Here is the deal, it works with DVB-S2!! My needs are basic, I just want PBS (in HD) from AMC-21 (125° W). I have used a Twinhan 102G (PCI card) and TSReader for many years but PBS changed to DVB-S2 and MPEG4 rendering my Twinhan useless. I have a Diamond 9000HD STB, MicroTrend and WinTV Nova...

    GEOSATpro Using the "Signal" screen ?

    Most likely right Ice, he shows the signal level in dB?V so one would assume the CNR came from that same device (dedicated satellite meter).

    GEOSATpro Using the "Signal" screen ?

    Brian, In this review ke4est made a chart using the microHD and in one column he list the numerical value of the CNR. I have the latest firmware installed on my microHD and I can not see the CNR on any of the screens (Signal Level, Info, etc.). Where do I find the CNR?

    GEOSATpro What size hard drive for the Micro?

    Ice, In regards to MPEG4 files recorded by the GeosatPro microHD: Have you tried to play the files with another media player? Edit the files with VideoReDo? The manual states microHD can use NTFS formatted hard drives up to 2TB, have you had any trouble with large drives? I have looked at...
