What do you mean? The first thing I bought was an PCIe DVB-S2 adapter. Thanks. See I hadn't realized this thing isn't out until March. I don't want to wait that long. Interesting. The thought of buying a replacement case hadn't occurred to me. I'll probably look into that if all else fails...

Aaand so it turns out the power supply in my Gateway PC is some sort of proprietary form factor piece of sh't. It's not mini-ITX or any variant of the ATX form factors found at Micro Center. Not wanting to give up, I managed to install it anyway (the fan was annoyingly loud), forcing it to fit...

So I hadn't had the chance to check your responses til now but I just came back from MicroCenter. Bought a 320W Power Supply and a molex power splitter just in case. I knew it shouldn't make a difference given that it terminates back into the same port, but I got it anyway since I couldn't go...

Ugh, spoke too soon. No mini-ITX power supplies out there with more than 2 molex connectors!:mad: Hopefully there is some sort of a splitter out there?

Ok so I think I finally have all my answers. It turns out I will probably have to buy that new Power Supply as suggested by kittyhas1000legs. So, this whole time, I hadn't noticed that this card requires not just one or two molex-4 connectors, but three! Somehow, I had forgotten about them (I...

I guess my other question also is, what is the best way to achieve my objectives? Would it be better to just purchase a linux based receiver and configure it to stream content? (I would also like a DVR functionality) So far, I haven't been able to confirm that these DreamBox/Enigma 2 based...

Okay, I will look into that. Thank you. That still leaves me with a few questions though. First, why is it that this (more expensive) model does not require any additional power (is it because it's meant for feed hunting?): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006O8A5Q6/?tag=satell01-20 And would I still...

My PC didn't come with the necessary 4-pin molex power connector (as these are no longer used in Serial ATA based HDDs). I had an external adapter that could supply it with power, but I would have to keep the tower open and I am not sure if it would be the correct voltage.

I can't tell you what my coax cable type is, but it was what shipped with my Dish and receiver. It was a kit that was recommended on the first page on this thread. None of the wires are tied, crimped or being crushed. they come into the house through a designated hole. There is no obstruction or...

Oh okay, it probably isn't a unicable then. It does support 4 receivers though with a multiswitch, as illustrated here: Although i can't seem to figure out what the purpose of the following set up is: By the way, I did try switching the lines and it made no difference. It seems to me...

Lol Pardon my ignorance. Laziness on my part I suppose. As someone who's worked with network switches, I should have known better than to equate it to what practically amounts to a "hub." Won't happen again. :D I actually do not have any switches set up. The dual output LNBF feeds directly to...

Yes, that is what I have. I have confirmed that I am able to use both the tuner card and the MicroHD receiver simultaneously. I have two dual LNBFs with unicable support. So technically, with a splitter, it should be able to support 4 receivers.

So it's been a year and I realize I have not said thank you. Although I did for the most part manage to set up the satellite with relative ease, I've had only mixed success with my main objective. I'd been meaning to come around to asking someone here for some guidance but never could make...

Do you know of any configuration that would allow simultaneous access to two separate channels on the same PC?

So that Tuner has the full functionality of a receiver (more or less)? I like this option. I would ideally like to have one hooked the TV for regular viewing, but I want it on my PC for a specific need. I have Flash Media Server on my Linux box and want to set it up for remote streaming. I...

I'm in the cities. Columbia Heights, actually. My previous response went to moderation, presumably because I posted a link with "hxxp" :)

Wow, you guys are totally awesome. Probably the friendliest, most responsive, most helpful forum I've joined in a while, especially for a newbie. Thanks a lot! :wave right back at ya fellow Minnesotan. I have verified that the channels I want are indeed free. I am not interested in their...

Bear with me since I'm not too familiar with Satellite jargon yet, but I'm interested in hooking up a satellite to catch some FTA channels. The channels I want are on the Galaxy 19 satellite under World TV. I have an old Dish500 in my garage which I'm frankly not sure would be of any use. I...
