    Quick Review: Vantage 1100S HD FTA Receiver

    Excellent to see them available in the US now with a supplier that stands behind them. Sure beats dealing with the Euro sites.

    Quick Review: Vantage 1100S HD FTA Receiver

    One important thing that has not been mentioned on this receiver. It has no serial port, RS232 connection. There is also no force load procedure, via the usb, to date from Vantage to un brick this receiver if you happen to lock it in "boot " mode. I have sent Vantage numerous request and...

    A follow up on the tuner strength of this card. CBS initiated a test feed today for there move to S2. DVB-S2 8PSK 4080 V 29860 FEC9/10. Testers tried to lock this feed with the Coolsat 8000, Pansats 9000 and 9200 and Vantage 7100 with no luck. Two testers with the TT3200 locked the feed with...

    How are DVB-S2 feeds found?

    Here is a reply I received from Pansat about a month ago on that question. To Pansat Tech Dept: Do you expect to have the smartsearch feature working with DVB-S2 with a future upgrade or are you planning the release of a newer model with S2 smartsearch? Dear customer, The application is...

    TT S2-3200

    Quote: but it seems to be somewhat deaf in comparison to other tuners that support DVB-S2. This seems to be particularly true on 8psk signals. I understood this as you were comparing to both DVB-S2 and 8psk so my response was directed to both. You are correct the AMC 4 feed was...

    TT S2-3200

    Nice review AC. Thank you for taking the time. I also use the TT3200 and have only used DVBViewer from the outset. I ended up this way because my original setup was with the Technisat Skysatr2 card and it came with a Technisat version of DVBViewer so I was familiar with it. Besides doing S2...

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    I ran into a number of problems also. A few hints from my mistakes. Keep TSReader, VLC on the same drive as xp. Make sure the path for vlc is not pulling off the C drive it will recognize it and open and so will TSReader if you try to open from the c drive. I did this originally and nothing...

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    Thanks Smith, P. You must realize that I don't have the knowledge that you possess. I wish I did. I can access DOS but wouldn't know what to do when there. I'd be like a dog chasing a car, once I caught it I wouldn't know what to do with it. As far as calling Gateway I have not because most of...

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    Just an update. Created a new 10 gig partition with no problems. Xp won't recognize the new partition though because i have a SATA HD. I have a Gateway GM5474 AMD dual core with sata drive. I need a XP sata controller driver and after three hours of online searching I believe I am out of luck...

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    Thank You Smith, P Some quick reading tells me that the motherboard must support XP drivers. A quick check shows me that the ECS mainboard on my Gateway GM5474 does not.

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    Thank you again photoman76 for confirming my problem. I wish I could say I understand what you are talking about (XP partition). I guess I need to do some research. Is this something that is easily done ? From all the reading I've done on Technotrend I guess I won't be holding out for a new...

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    Well I installed wdm219h and got the dreaded blue screen of death. I manually shut down and restarted the computer. I checked device manager and did find the card listed under network adapters but with the driver showing not properly installed with a driver error #31. I checked back to the TT...

    photoman 76 and updatelee, Thank you very much for the quick responses. I have the driver downloaded and will install it when I get home this evening.

    TT S2 -3200 TS reader Driver?

    Thanks updatelee I guess I'm not too swift when it comes to drivers. I thought that that is what I did last night when i downloaded v5.0.0.12 BDA. The attached readme said it applied to the 3200 for data only. The only other driver I can find for download is the wdm v 2.19h. I just downloaded...

    DVB-S2 Card or USB Box

    photoman 76 and vfrjim Thank you for the information. I was hoping to hear some positive about the TT3600. I am mainly interested in this for DVB-S2 and messing around with the 8PSK feeds that are popping up. I am glad you were able to compare them. I will go with the TT 3200.

    DVB-S2 Card or USB Box

    I am currently looking at the Technotrend 3200 PCI card and the TT S2-3600 USB box. The specs on the two are the same. From a performance standpoint is there a downfall to going the USB route. Would the box be more prone to things like picture freezes etc?

    Diamond 9000HD PVR Review

    i4Tas, Thank You for the thorough review. I myself am interested in the 8PSK for True FTA non Turbo. Short of the commercial units I have not seen much out there. Everything of course geared to Turbo. Have you had a chance, or do you have the ability to test it on an 8psk channel on AMC 6 C...

    Deinterlacing 4:2:2 video, what to use

    I know this is getting off the subject. I use TSReader and DVBViewer TE. How is DVBViewer Pro? Have you ever had a chance to compare it to the TE edition? Is it worth the upgrade? I've considered it but for what I do TE seems to be ok. barret
