    DVB World /Nextorm USB Sat on Vista 64?

    Thanks for the link, exactly what I needed... As for Vista, at least my version (64 pro or something like that) said this driver not signed, can not install; please visit mfg for updated driver. ending install. :( Guess I'll try on my wifes XP; just no where near as powerful PC... we'll see.

    DVB World /Nextorm USB Sat on Vista 64?

    Thanks, I found that one too, I tried it, it starts to install the driver; but then Vista rejects it because it's not signed :( Maybe a Vista 64 thing only; but that sucks. If I get it working on an old XP pc, is there a translation chart somewhere? Like T5 = Intelasat xxx = whatever it's...

    DVB World /Nextorm USB Sat on Vista 64?

    I have an old Nextorm aka DVBWorld S2101 USB Sat receiver. Haven't used it in a long time; now I have a Vista64 PC, powerful enough to decode the HD feeds that may be out there; but how do I get it hooked back up again? I guess I need a Vista driver; I found some old install programs for...

    DVB S2102 USB need updates...

    So I havn't FTA'd in a long time, but after a complete computer crash & reinstall I wanted to reinstall my FTA usb box. I found Nextorm software, but it seems to be outdated with the constantly changing sat names. I was able to scan Intelsat America 5 (T5) fine, so I know I got the drivers...

    Nextorm / DVB World S2101 USB box, software needed pls

    Thanks, I wasn't thinking about the PC. My power supply went out the other day, and I think it took out the onboard USB with it, so I'm using a pci USB 2 card, guess that could be the problem. I loaded the software on the wifes computer and it runs. Haven't been able to scan a sat yet, but...

    Nextorm / DVB World S2101 USB box, software needed pls

    Thanks for the site! I could not seem to find it. I installed, in the breif second I can see it it looks similar to the original, just updated of course. But then says: "low power! LNB power closed! This program will be closed."

    Nextorm / DVB World S2101 USB box, software needed pls

    So last year a wind storm finally killed my BUD. We went with Dish for our daily programming, and I haven't used my PC DVB box since. Hurricane & football season firing up I thought it'd be cool to see what wild feeds I could find. Problem is I can't find the original software. I have some...

    Nextorm database?

    That is awesome. Nextorm replied to my same question, and they provided me with a file that has all the sat's .ini's also. It also has a compiler that once you edit the ini's it creates the sattplist.dat file that can be then moved to the Nextorm folder. Re-open Nextorm & the new list is there...

    Nextorm database?

    Anyone know if there are file(s) that contain the satellites, Tp's, & symbol rates? I was thinking of syncing my software with lynsat, basically adding all posted tp's & symbols to my software so I can do a "blind" scan of the channels listed at will. If I take the time to do all this, how...

    Satwork ST3618

    Thanks, but it looks like that's for the 3688, I have the 3618, no motor control, just scanning.

    Satwork ST3618

    I know it's an older blind scan, but are there any newer updates out there? I have version 6.01 Dec '03 loaded now. Looks like I still have the loader software, just currious if there's newer updates. Now that I'm more confident in my setup, how long should a scan of a typical Ku Bird take...

    Which is better

    Can't speak for the others, but I got a WorldBox a few weeks ago & love it! Works out of the box unlike most things I buy that have to be tweaked. It gets std DVB, 4:2:2 & HD with the included software, and can move my SG2100 motor. I love it. I do have a P4HT 3Ghz, 1G Ram driving it tho, and no...

    DVBWorld Box & IA13 ?'s

    Thanks! Don't know why bad audio makes the channel black, but I didn't have a blind scan so I had to start guessing, & using lyngsat. Wound up being video +1 :-)

    DVBWorld Box & IA13 ?'s

    So in my spare time I'm scanning through Lyngsat to see what I can watch with my new box. I see on IA13/3780 there's supposed to be some ITC channels. I can scan them in with the software, and have great quality/strength, it even gives the green size at the top for a split second (like 704x480...

    Combining Satellite and Cable TV Diplexer ?

    I can't say for definate as I haven't personally used one and tried to move a dish, but for 1 it'd have to pass the 13/18v for V/H anyway right? and 2, this site shows an EA D-3000 to have a return loss spec. and DC pass spec. http://www.starlink-dss.com/D3000specs.htm Yes, rad shack has all...

    Ext. Powered sat amp?

    Thanks. I may look into that, but for now my Big Dish provides enough gain that my 30" does not. So for temp I'll have to swing the big dish into postion and not watch 4D while I'm using it for FTA, which most of the time is OK because it'll be for sports :-) But whats funny is the last game...

    Schedule for PBS channels?

    Those are great links, what about the HD channel? Or did I miss a link or page somewhere all ready included?

    Ext. Powered sat amp?

    Is there such a thing? I think my little inline amps are just enough to hit the break even point on some channels after my 350' run. Is there something a little stronger ie more gain?

    AMC 3: anyone having problems?

    Well I solved my problem. after much frustration on installing & re-installing software & drivers. I decided to connect to my big dish, and voila PBS HD pops in :-) Guess my little motor dish just couldn't provide enough quality anymore, alto the other channles come in loud & clear! Just a...

    AMC 3: anyone having problems?

    I recently installed a 2nd HD TV Tuner (USB Artec). Do you think that could have affected any settings (codecs) to cause my USB DVBWorldbox to lose HD reception since it appers to be getting other channels on the same sat, V & H, above & below that freq.? It was so easy to just open box, plug...

    AMC 3: anyone having problems?

    Well that's that I'm using, which btw is awesome, gets HD & ac3 etc etc. Did any setting change from lyngsat? I get the other PBS's, just not HD.

    Cable distance

    I'm running 350'+ from my SG2100 and my big dish to all my recievers. Not the best in quality, but everything is watchable with a cheap inline amp. I ran several runs of RG6 through a pvc pipe (at the time had one way direcPc (3 runs) and switching to starband 2 way (4 runs)) So no Ihave plent...

    RG-6 Cable Connection

    I personally like my compression tool & connectors, and will never go back to a scrw on or even crimp on type conection. I got mine here, $70 for a tool & 100 connectors. http://www.starlink-dss.com/Compress-N-Seal.htm
