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

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...

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...

"We are now be taking pre-orders, please be patient with the wait time...they are now delayed 1-2 months as of August 8th. We advise you to order at your earliest convenience in order to get preferential shipping when the units arrive. Specifications also subject to change" This is the...

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...

Hello again. Well written and covers all the bases. So I take it you may also opt out of TSReader?

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...

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...

Well its done. I now have a Vista / XP partitioned dual core AMD6000 3ghz. TSreader & vlc 0.8.6 DvbViewer Te and SKystar 2 on Vista side 380 gig. Tsreader & VLC 0.9.0 nitely latest (awesome) with Tecnotrend 3200 DVB-S2 on XP 120 gig partition. Tested and working with no conflicts so far...

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...

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...

OK It looks like I might give this a try, unless there are other suggestions. I am open for any right now. Regards barret

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.

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...
