B.J., I would highly appreciate it if you can upload it, preferably to a simpler file sharing network like 2shared.com. I seem to be stuck without this. I can neither conclusively pronounce the card defective, nor can I use it.

Yes, that's the name of the file available from Creative. Unfortunately, the applications like AudioHQ that's supposed to manage the card is not available and the update for it from the website would not install if no original installation exists.

I'm also thinking something like that. I downloaded and installed the latest drivers and firmware, but since I didn't get the original installation disk from the seller, some of the applications on creative's web site won't install, saying I need the original application disk. I cannot install...

Thank you, mpc30! We are talking about the same external thing, although I refer to it as a "card". Your confirmation that no drivers or setup were needed for standalone operation and the fact that I don't see any red light out of the digital output confirms that the device I received is...

Hi guys, After reading this thread, I purchased an used Extigy to use with my Pansat 3500. Unfortunately the card seems defective. I would like to confirm that. So I have two questions to those who are successfully using it. 1. Did you have to set up anything on the card using a computer, or...

Your question implies that you've seen a DVI capture card over $200. I am kind of curious to see it, would you point us to it?

I don't have any information either, but my speculation is that they have probably reconsidered the FTA path and are currently trying to negotiate to be carried by DBS and cable providers instead (like The Tube). Unfortunately that would be another blow to FTA in North America and another...

If you are only getting the DBS sats you mentioned, it's a proof that you have a circular LNB and need to get a linear one for the Ku sats.

So is the signal back on IA6 already?

Just to warn you - if you want captions, stay away from Pansat 3500s too. It can't do it properly either.

Well, if that's true, I am a big exception. My Twinhan 1020a is doing outstanding job driving the SG2100 with 1 meter (40'') antenna attached to it. And so many times when I was looking for new sats or adjusting existing ones, I would move the dish left and right and scan for more than an hour...

I'm using Zalman 350W.

My theory is that it's not the DVB card that does not supply enough power, but the power supply of the PC. I have SkyStar2 and Twinhan 1020a and they have always moved the positioner without any problems. For more than a year I've never reset the motor or the DVB cards/receivers. I don't use...

Thermal expansion is not a possibility. It's happening on days when the mornings are colder or warmer than the evenings, with or without sunshine, etc. The other G10R tps are down about 10% too in the mornings, but since they are usually stronger than 11720 (the 12114 tp is 99% in the evening)...

What time of day are you measuring quality? There is a big difference for me between mornings and afternoons/evenings. In the mornings it is 15-30% (breaks badly often), at noon it is unwatchable, and later in the evenings stabilizes to 27-32% without breakups.

Well, if you have a Ku LNB and are pointed vaguely in the way of G10R, this is sufficient proof that you've found Echostar 9 at 121 degrees. G10R is only 2 degrees west. You must search for G10R by setting your receiver to the correct transponder and frequency rate, because signal level is...

Post some of the names of the channels you've found.

I'd like to share my disappointment with the sound quality of the Pansat 3500s. This is the first standalone FTA receiver that I own, so it may not be a fair comparison to other receivers - who knows, may be this is the norm for FTA receivers - sound quality generally being ignored. But it...

Do they make .2 LNBs already? :) I'm surely not replacing my 1m dish with a bigger one just for The Tube, my dedication only goes this far ;)

Just checking if the channel is up agian, because I deleted it by mistake and now can't find it by scanning.

Thanks, Iceberg! Great info that I have missed! The interference from E9 makes perfect sense. That adjacent tp is damn strong here. The best solution would be to change the frequency or at least move The Tube to another transponder, but since Equity haven't done it yet, I guess there's not...

Thanks for the map, questic! Do you have any idea which of these circles would be the 11720 tp footprint? I can't really figure that out. I see that my location falls on the G contour of both H and V streams. But almost all of the other transponders come in very strong, while The Tube goes from...

I'd like to ask here if anyone is getting the infamous 11720 transponder with The Tube with reasonable quality, stable during morning hours in the Canadian west or the US northwest? I think I've done my best in terms of hardware - QPH-031 0.3dB LNB, 1 meter Winegard dish, Pansat 3500s, peaked...

ECMs cannot affect anything other than original Dish receivers. No other kind of device can be targetted or affected, regardless of how long you watch the Echostar sats or the number of ECMs Dish sends. No need to worry about that. But yes, this is giving the satellite hobby a bad name. The...

I want to chime in with the other posters defending FTA direct. I ordered my Pansat 3500s before this hack thing and received it promptly. The receiver was defective, but obviously new and unused. I sent it back and they sent a new one which I received recently, and it works great. I was...
