    Problem V-Box

    mister_dk, shot in the dark with this one, if you're comfortable opening the V-Box up you may find one of the capacitors either swollen or blown. I had almost the same problem with mine. IIRC they're 470uF@50V and tied to the relays but looking at the PCB they're also part of the signal path - I...

    Conical Scalar ring for offset dish c-band

    Just a flying visit :) Nice to see some of the old faces, I finally moved to a place with lots of open space so I can see the full arc - the mini-bud with the conical scalar is still alive, although stationary for now. Keep at it!

    Conical Scalar ring for offset dish c-band

    Holy crap, this mini-bud thing is still alive?

    How much would you be willing to pay for a Conical Scalar Ring?

    This one just keeps on running... :) brotherhood, the conical scalar I use for my Fortec 1.2M dish still works beautifully and analogue C-band is still some of my favourite programming - beats the standard SD quality from any Dish/DTV channel hands down.

    NOAAPort on Ku

    There's a package for Solaris and RH Linux. If you can run VMWare or another VM like Bochs you may make some more sense of the protocol involved etc. http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/xcd/dvb/

    What do I need to get started??

    If you're using the unused machine as a server of sorts there are all kinds of apps you can use to remotely record, PCI cards are more compatible and less of a headache (IMO) and grabbing/streaming video from the server to another machine/xbox etc is a true thing of beauty. If the machine has...

    Dvb-s2

    Digging up an oldt post, here's a little more info on DVB-S2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2 In case someone has a 300M dish on a 500 mile-high pole, Astra 19.2°E has been transmitting S2 since last year. I doubt it's an immediate issue over here so you can go ahead and order that Fortec...

    Nexus-S and ATI Radeon PCI-Express Card

    It should* still work over here. the only real difference between DVB-S(1) over there is the horizontal resolution and framerate, none of which should matter that much in the digital realm. *protecting my ass incase someone buys one and it doesn't work

    Nexus-S and ATI Radeon PCI-Express Card

    I got tired of the Windows thing too, I dumped all but one of my PCs a while ago and now my main machine is an older Mac and I can now see what the fuss is about. If you're ever on Usenet the latest RC of SUSE has been posted. Before you jump ship, did you try MCE2005, IIRC even the...

    Nexus-S and ATI Radeon PCI-Express Card

    greyskies, which version of Catalyst are you using? ATI aren't known for their great drivers when it comes to TV in or out. Check over at rage3d forums, I had a similar issue with an All-In-Wonder card I had years ago. When I wake up I'll have more of a think.

    BBC World on a 1.2 m dish?

    If I recall I had BBC something from the 120cm C band setup blazing through, i'm not 100% sure if it was from that bird as it was a long time ago and my dish hasn't been up in a long time. If Pete keeps his private message logs I remember PMing him about it but it was ages ago.

    Gotta question

    Another good program, Womble also corrects a lot of problems with capped video automagically, turns it into an SVCD compliant stream which is easily transcoded into half D1 for an 8-hour single layer DVD.

    opentel

    A quick Google search claims it's a PVR which contains a 40GB HDD and is mainly sold in Europe/Australia. Has a SCART socket, RCA out - the usual. Looks like a good receiver, for $40 you got a bargain if it's working.

    Gotta question

    Chris, is the sync issue immediate or does it gradually drift out as the file plays? Vdub is an excellent program and has a crazy amount of options but can be a pain to configure with akward streams. Give TMPGenc a try: http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html

    Kworld DVB-S Pci Card

    If you were crafty you could run an RG6 with positioner wire to the dish and leave it bolted to his house ;)

    Anyone running KnoppMyth or other MythTV with 102g?

    Give this a read, has some great info: http://knoppmythwiki.org/ I installed it on an uber-slow machine on Sunday night to see what the fuss was about and I have to say it rocks. Takes a while to boot up and it didn't recognise my el-cheapo analogue TV card (it's a weird model) but it's highly...

    Best motor drive for 1.2m dish

    I used a V-box and a cheap actuator when my 1.2 was set up, the H-H mount was adapted from an old Superdish mount I had left over from a clueless DN install. The SG2100 worked well for a long while but after swapping dishes every other day with the Cband project it finally gave up. Having to...

    100CM Dish Questions

    It all helps, especially with the scalar issue and illuminating the dish fully. If you get the 1M you'll always be wondering "what if" - I got amazing results with the Invacom and 120CM, was an amazing setup. Say hi to Jamal for me.
