    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

    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...

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...

    DVB-S2 Tuner Card for PBS

    Purchased a TBS8922 and tried to install into my HTPC. It would freeze at the TBS8922.SYS driver install. Did some research and it seems others have had this same problem. One user believes it is the VIA chips, my motherboard is a ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe and it has a VIA IEEE 1394 controller...

    DVB-S2 Tuner Card for PBS

    On another forum a member said: Is it true that TSReader can not tune the TBS cards? I assume TBS will provide their own software, if true, can it do scheduled recordings? Wake PC from standby, do recording and put PC back in standby state?

    DVB-S2 Tuner Card for PBS

    Looked in equipment reviews and did not see any DVB-S2 tuner card reviews so I need your opinions on a DVB-S2 tuner card. This will be used for doing recordings from PBS on AMC-21. For many years I have used a Twinhan 103G tuner card, TSReader Standard 2.7.45h and Windows Scheduler (calling .BAT...

    36" Fortec Dish...anybody using one?

    Ice I know you asked about the Fortec and I do not have, but: Just this day received my Winegard DS-3100 (100CM) dish. This one will replace my Winegard DS-2076 (76CM) dish. One word for the DS-3100 - Heavy Duty.

    Another SG2100 Mounting Question

    Stefan is correct. On most BUDs there is declination adjustment if it is a polar type mount. The SKEW is done by rotating the pick-up device (Horn, LNB). This requires two (2) motor systems. Most of the H-H motors have offset arms. This method takes care of dish rotation and skew.
