Thanks Guys, The channel is acting very strangely. After I posted they aired a feed and the signal was consistent throughout and then stopped blinking on and off even after they went back to the slate. Today after rebooting my receiver it's back to blinking on and off again. The channel does...

Any way you can check to see if they work with the Reuters Live service? The Coolsat must work with MPEG4 because I can watch the PBS channels on 125W (just checked) wondering if there's something up with the channel.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this; Just wondering if the Coolsat 8000HD actually does MPEG4 on the satellite channels? All the documentation I've read says it's MPEG4 on ATSC only. The reason I ask is because I'm trying to watch Reuters Live service on 113W and it will display a...

I know PressTV was recently re-added to Hotbird 13 over Europe under the 'News TV' branding so hopefully it'll be back to stay over here as well!

Thanks for the suggestion iron, I gave it a go without success. After reading a lot about this issue on various WinTV forums it seems to be a fairly common issue, at least I'm not alone on this one. Darn PC tuner cards are definitely not ready for prime time though.

Thanks for the suggestion wally, but I need something that will stream TV over my network/the Internet as I watch the programming on several different computers throughout the house that don't have satellite tuners installed. Still no luck on getting Diseqc switching running, I've now opted to...

No joy unfortunately, still the same issue of just one satellite at a time. I have made one observation though; it seems to get stuck on the first active port on the Diseqc switch i.e. if I have ports 2 and 3 occupied it receives the signal on port 2, but if I have ports 1 and 2 occupied then...

Will do when I'm at the computer again, I've always had it set to 9750 with the single sat. setup but I'll give it a go.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm running WinTV version 7 (latest version from their website) and my setup screen looks just like yours kitty. Only difference is I have the LOF2 set to 10750 rather then the default of 10600. I'm assuming Sat A corresponds to LNB 1 and Sat B to LNB 2. Attached...

Hopefully someone can help me shed some light on this issue. I have a WinTV Nova S plus PCI satellite card that I have used for the better part of a year to receive the FTA channels from G19 (97W). I have used the tuner successfully with two pieces of software; WinTV (bundled with the tuner...

I would suggest you use a solid FTA STB (microHD or similar) and then connect it to a capture card on a PC using component or S-video connections. You would then be able to use a program like Hauppauge WinTV Extend (Windows) to control the STB via an IR Blaster. WinTV extend has the added...

Here's hoping they realize their mistake and bring back AJE online in the States and ITC for all the Americas

for those interested, here's my Youtube video about the AlJazeera America launch: http://youtu.be/05y_zLtVRxA

I would assume not, as AlJazeera America is a US-based channel and not focused on Canada. Additionally, AlJazeera English already seems to have carriage on most of the major PAY TV providers here (Bell, Telus, Shaw cable, Rogers) so they should have no reason to cut Internet streaming here.

Here's what's currently showing. This is from an online stream so likely not as good quality as a feed from Direc or Dish. Interesting that it is in 4x3 and not 16x9 like the AJE feed and most other US news channels.

Also available on Bell TV in Canada. Just subscribed for the extra $3/mo. not too pricey, but a shame to pay for a channel that until so recently was FTA. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that the Canadian providers don't decide to swap AlJazeera International for AlJazeera America, they do...

And yet RT (Russia Today) seems to be carried by some of the satellite/cable companies despite their online AND FTA streams.

I'm guessing it's gone from 121W C-Band as well? According to LyngSat it was supposed to be on the same transponder as France 24. I'm shocked they would pull it from 58W as that was the only satellite (according to AlJAzeera's own website) that you could receive the signal in South America. I...

Thanks for the info DJdish, message sent! Hopefully more folks contact them and they can explore other distribution options.

Absolutely horrible news! AlJazeera was one of the main reasons I got involved with FTA and was my main source of TV news and 58W isn't really an option due to the low elevation angle out on the WestCoast. Hopefully the Internet stream won't be geoblocked here in Canada. Does anyone have...

I can confirm that it's up on the same mux as KTV, just noticed the new parameters in the PressTV ticker when I was watching the livestream online.

I would highly recommend the use of NextPVR (hxxp://www.nextpvr.com/). It's a free application that I have used with that particular card for a number of months without issue.

In the end I decided to go with the TBS tuner. It's on order now so hopefully I'll have it soon.

Thanks for the suggestions, tede and Magic Static. I was actually looking at one of the TBS tuners, just wasn't sure how good they were. For reference I will be using the card with DVBDream under Windows 7.

Hi all, I just had a DVB-World DVB-S2 PCIe satellite computer tuner die on me and I'm starting to consider replacements. Any good recommendations? I have previously used the WinTV Nova with success, however it doesn't do DVB-S2 and I may as well future-proof my FTA computer set-up.
