Back last year when i was having trouble getting my BUD aligned to the arc to get both C and Ku, before I finally gave up and replaced the C/Ku with C only I thought it would have been much easier if my dish could move in Az and El so I could find each satellite like I would locate a Ku sat with...

The LCD's native resolution is 800X600 but it is capable of displaying higher, like 1024X768. When I first set the system up with my HDTV I tried to set the LCD to 1920X1080, the same as my TV but all I got was a black screen, I guess it can't go up that high. I'll see about disconnecting the...

I'll give that a try next time. My TV is a Panasonic plasma it has "Viera Link" It was on, I turned it off. I'll try that in the meantime to see if that makes a difference.

Yes, the 7" LCD that is built into my HTPC case, it's connected to the VGA output on my GFX card. I've got it set up as monitor #2, my TV is #1 (HDMI). My 7" LCD has a mirror of of the desktop on my TV.

My GFX card is a Radeon HD 4600 series, it doesn't have a tuner just VGA and HDMI out. I'm using a WinTV-HVR-2250 card for my OTA reception. I tried the latest WinTV software version, it crashes every time I try to scan for channels after installation (when it gets to channel 4) so I had to...

I'm using an ATI Radian 4xxx series card (just installed the latest drivers), VGA output feeding my 7" lcd and HDMI feeding my AV receiver which feeds my plasma TV, I had to install the Realtek HDMI audio drivers to get sound through the HDMI. I use WinTV 7 for my OTA. I've got Vista basic on...

Thanks for the responses. I guess that's the reason I was having trouble finding something, there is nothing to find. My system is working pretty good the problems I've had is mainly with ProgDVB 6. I'm running my HTPC's resolution at 1920X1080p. When I turn off the TV while the HTPC is...

Hi. Several years ago I built a dedicated HTPC, expensive case, 4TB storage, 4GB RAM, Vista, TBS6925 DVB-S2 Professional Tuner, ect. It's basically a super expensive HDTV, DVB-S2 recorder / media player. I play back SD and HD video, .ts, .mkv, .avi (various codecs), .mov, .mp4, .flv (all...

Thanks much for the information! It is very helpful to me to know what happened and when it will be back to normal. Thanks again.

Thanks for the links and the info. I was hoping every uplink station had a blog or something to let people know what happened when things like this happen. 3ABN and other channels are still terrible. the signal is breaking up and fluctuating between 30% and 80% Q, even on my 1.2m dish. They...

It had just come back when I posted my original message but a few days ago the L: 76% and the Q: 100% last night the L: 43% and Q:30% to 100% fluctuating up and down. I rescanned several times but a lot of channels stayed grouped under "Other" instead of "RRsat" and other groupings like it was...

Does anyone know if there are problems with this sat? I noticed tonight that I am getting low or no signal on some transponders. I couldn't get 3ABN or any signal on 11842 earlier, now I'm getting something. I've never had a problem so far with clouds and rain interfering, we had some rain...

I'll have to continue testing then decide what program I will end up using. My biggest problem right now is figuring out the best codecs to use and then how to get them working flawlessly in what ever program I use. I noticed on the Telemundo channels the video would stutter and freeze for a...

Nope, MyTheatre seems to work with TBS 6925. I was testing it out watching NASA TV with it yesterday. I got better results with MyTheatre than DVBDream. With DVBDream I could get audio with no video or video with no audio. With MyTheatre I could get both but sometimes it would work and...

FYI and for the record I decided on getting a TBS 6925 card. It arrived yesterday. Sometimes I get video and sound, sometimes only one or the other. I have to figure out this graph stuff and figure out which codecs give the best quality for audio and video as well as what combination works...

I'm glad to here from someone that has a similar card to the one I was looking at. I had never seen the TBS6925 before so I am hoping more people with this or a very similar card will post their thoughts. I don't know anything about the company or the quality of the card or if there are many...

I found this just now searching around the back doors of the Internet, I didn't see it listed anywhere on the Proftuners site pages, I'm not sure but this may be old. This looks like what I want if I have to buy a software based card. After searching more I looks like it may have come out a...

I opened up my case and I do have one more PCIe slot open, it sits behind the RAM so as long as whatever card I get is not much longer than 6.25 inches I could squeeze another PCIe card in there. Which means I could go for the Prof Revolution DVB-S2 8000 or the DVBWorldDTV DVB-S2 PCIe2006. I...

That is helpful. You are referring to software based cards? Not hardware like mine?

Thanks for the offer but I have a USB receiver that i never did like, which is why I am leery about buying a software tuner now. I'm trying to stay away from USB devices so I can keep as much as possible inside the case so I have less hardware dangling from the case when I move it later.

I bought a Technotrend 6400 S2 card many months ago because I wanted a hardware based card, those have always given me the best performance as far as picture quality and video editing go. I know they are not as versatile as a software card but hardware cards are perfect for what I need. Here...

How would you go about adding a second sensor?

I was inspired by this thread to attempt to modify the linear actuator on my own 10' dish. Here is the original encoder wheel. I made a measurement pointer out of scrap wood to indicate when the actuator had moved one inch. Here is a closeup of the pointer. I measured out one inch...

I'm planning to buy a TechnoTrend S2-6400 mainly because it's the only hardware based S2 card I can find. I use to use a TechnoTrend 1.5 card it was a hardware DVB-S which always gave me an excellent picture an sound and my recordings were flawless, even editing my recordings were flawless...

Thanks, I'll go look for it now.
