    DSS

    I have a twinhan 1020. Need to check the version number. I've heard of using tsreader for this, but it isn't freeware.

    FTA w/OTA & clear QAM

    I think I have decided to just get a separate tuner for clearQAM. I like the looks of the Hauppauge cards. The 2250 has an FM input and can tune 2 TV channels at once (for simultaneous recording and watching different channels), so that would be nice, but then again not sure how often I would...

    FTA w/OTA & clear QAM

    I looked up those Dell tuners and found some info saying they are only compatible with certain Dell computers??? What's the deal with that? Also, I need one compatible with Linux, too. I already have a Pinnacle Pro 800e USB stick for ATSC, so I may just keep using that and buy a cheap, well...

    FTA w/OTA & clear QAM

    I did some research, and it looks like most cards that tune ATSC also tune QAM, but I am confused on how they work. I am interested in the Hauppauge WinTV HVR 2250, but not sure if it allows for both cable and antenna to be plugged in and tuned simultaneously. Here are the free channels I want...

    3 In 8 Out Multi-Switch

    Found one of these for $1 at a local thrift store. Amazon.com: 3 In 8 Out Multi-Switch: Electronics I just had to brag on here about it since nobody I see on a daily basis has any idea what I am talking about and gets glazed over eyes when I start telling them about anything FTA, haha. Anyway...

    FTA w/OTA & clear QAM

    Does anyone know of a PCI card that allows you plug in both an OTA and clear QAM source so that you can tune them simultaneously? I want to be able to tune and integrate my FTA/OTA/clearQAM channels all at the same time and have them appear in my channel guide without having to physically...

    Blindscan PC DVB card status

    Dang! I will have to check out the new units. Are the new Advancetune units supposed to have blindscan capability? The opensat s9 is a STB, right? I don't really want a STB as I am trying to integrate everything into my home theater PC. PCI or PCIe is my preferred reciever format. Do you know if...

    Blindscan PC DVB card status

    direcway dish

    You should take off the transmitter. it will drop a lot of unwanted weight from your dish. search the forums for direcway and hughesnet dishes (same company, very similar dishes) and you will find info, pics, and more. I have more luck searching Google to find old threads. Try something like...

    Uniden UST 7700

    Over the Christmas break I was at my girlfriend's grandparents who happen to have an old 15 foot BUD I have always admired and hope to have some day. This time I was there, I found the receiver they used with the BUD. It is a Uniden UST 7700 with remote (UST 7700i). They no longer use the BUD...

    1020a sticky thread

    I think there should be a sticky thread in here about the Twinhan1020a and maybe a few of the other really popular cards. It would be nice to have one place to look for all the 1020a stuff without having multiple threads concerning the same thing. It just seems like a very common topic...
