Hya, Don't worry, I've been pointing dishes for years with my PCs, always using dvb software. I know the display levels aren't accurate, but they work ok for me, I try to maximize on the weakest transponders. I've set motors up this way too. I had a cheapo satfinder when I first got into the...

Hi folks, what's up? Ever since I've started this hobby I've tried out loads of different dvb-s tuner cards. I've had the skystars for years. Then dvb-S2 appeared in 2006 and I've had a Technotrend S2-3600 (usb) and a Technotrend S2-3200. I'm not very happy with these cards as they lock very...

Hi mate, i still haven't spent much time tweaking it so i wouldn't be able to tell ya. But in what regards BxS's, it needs to have technisat's setup4pc software installed in order to work.

Well, my 2cents worth, the Skystar is a GREAT card. I don't know anything about the twinham so i don't feel concerned about this debate really... About my problem, knock on wood :D it's just an irq conflict problem hopefully. Have reinstalled the card on different pci slots and it seems to be...

Sorry mate, what does that have to do with it? Each box has it's own advantages and disadvantages. If your talking about the vlc debate, it has nothing to do with the fact that your running a twinham or skystar or dvbworld.

****** hell man did a clean reinstall of all my setup, and i get the same problem!! My skystar 2 keeps on disappearing from my setup! then i reboot, and there it is, with a yellow exclamation mark saying error code 10 This is really bad news man. I could do without it to be honest. I'm looking...

I'm not suggesting that VLC can't do it, i'm just saying that the image quality looks very bad to me. Anyway, i can't compare with purevideo on the same machine/ same display. And its bob or whatever deinterlacing does my head in, it's definetly not as smooth as nvidia's spatial-temporal...

Ah i understand. It's just that the way you said "DVBDream wouldn't decode this one with Purevideo until I turned on Elecard" would suggest that you needed the elecard to properly accelerate the purevideo motor. It's quite a brainer actually as nvidia call both their SW and their HW "purevideo"...

What exactly do you mean by this? What do you mean by "turning on"? Elecard doesn't use the purevideo hardware. AFAIK, only nvidia's purevideo codec, cyberlink 6 and 7 and possibly latest nero and intervideo use this for the time being.

Oh right. No luck with the X2 upgrade for you then. Are you sure this is the actual physical memory being used? Clockgen on windows mate ;) Thanks for all this feedback on the dual-core issue. I don't think this is the problem though. I reckon i've just did something nasty to the lnb...

Does it come with BDA drivers? Try alt-dvb ;) my favourite software :D

Jeeezus man my system keeps on freezing now, when i try to lock to transponders, after the Tsreader crash... this is not good man! i'll probably do a clean reinstall tomorrow and see what happens :mad:

which programs dude?

The pin connect error's a graph file thing, 's got nothing to do with encryption actually. I don't understand why you would get no image at all on purevideo with any render other than video render... I mean, elecard, it'll display the image whether it's vmr9, overlay, etc. I need to get this...

Interesting stuff mate, keep us updated on how you get on with it, please :)

try altrxo, it's much faster

wow tsreader just crashed my computer this is not good man :( edit: now windows can't see my skystar 2 anymore!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: re:edit: after a 2 reboot, it's back and everything's ok. But i think i'll be careful next time i try using *****tsreader!! :D

Ah! just found one, i can see it with elecard. With purevideo and video render i get a pin error though... will try and quickly build a graph to check edit: how the heck do you create graphs with altdvb? dvbdream's jerky... re edit: :D well rolled back to a previous version of elecard...

Hi Dashaund ;) Great, i'll have a go on that... next problem will be to find a 4:2:2 feed i can tune to in europe with my dish these days... Btw, how can one tell if a broadcast is 4:2:2? is there any program that will clearly state that somewhere?

which blindscan application are you using trevorm7?

:wave I think you should, i reckon it's the most interesting stuff on the mpeg2 side. I'd like to compare it to ati's avivo but i can't get hold of an avivo video card. I'd love it to work for 4:2:2 but i reckon it doesn't, but as i said, this is new stuff for me so i can't really tell...

Yes that might be a great idea. I'm used to purevideo's spatial-temporal deinterlacing hardware accelerated and VLC sure looks disgusting to me... Doesn't Tsreader use an internal player of its own where you can choose codecs, graph filters, etc? do you really need vlc to be able to watch...

Really? i always thought vlc gave *really* crappy deinterlacing... no way i can compare it to purevideo or the latest cyberlink purevideo-accelerated deinterlacing...

Well i don't mind giving further feedback, but i'm not sure it would be very accurate information as, as i said, i'm only starting to use it so I don't know exactly how it's supposed to behave. But what prevents you, jerryt, from running BxS on the 4.4.0 drivers? BxS said he might get a new...

Well just like that :D with either altrxo or BxS apps seems to be working for me... But since i've just got my 2.3P last week i'm still very much experimenting with it. I don't know if it'd be fast with <4.4.0 newbie to blindscanning actually. anyway i've mailed BxS about this, last update of...
