"I Want to Win a Free DVBS2 Receiver"

I installed my first c-band system in 1984. I have upgraded it many times over the years but I'm still using the original dish, a Raydx 10.5 footer. It is a great dish and I don't miss much used with my Elite STB and driven by a 4DTV receiver. Joe

AJV, I have a 10.5 Raydx that I installed in '84 at my northern OH location. Great dish. Deep. Mesh is just fine for those ku signals. I got an 8' pole. Dug a 3' deep x 24" dia. hole. Put some gravel in the bottom. Drilled 2 crossholes at 90 degrees through the pipe and slipped 2 lengths of...

Another vote for 2731. From what I have read on other forums, 2731 is the correct firmware for users in NA. The later firmware fixes some issues found in Europe. I have also read that loading 2880 adds some new bugs, regarding AC3 IIRC. Joe

Sure would be nice to be able to get a secure, waterproof connection on all of my satellite cables rather than the amateurish method that I have been using. Joe

I have a mixed bag of reception with the DVBWorld S2 pci card. Depends on the viewer software. With the supplied DVBWorld software I can get DVB-S2 and 4.2.2 HD, no problem, provided less than 30k. But those 30k+ S/R's it struggles with, at least using the supplied viewer. Using the same pci...

I would install it on my trusty Raydx 10.5' to take some of the weight off. Raydx was made before all of these fancy c/ku lnbs. Have to use guy wires to support and center now.

When using the HD Pack file, can you choose exactly what codecs that you want to load? Joe

I'm getting frustrated. No capture. Got the TsCapture file and unpacked it into a folder in the DVBWorld folder. Started DVBWorld and locked onto a signal. Closed DVBWorld and opened the TsCapture program. Pressed "Lock" Entered in the parameters for the lnb, 5150 in this case. Entered the...

DVBWorld, Tried to record but nothing was recorded. Counter stayed at 0 mb. Record Icon was lit. File was created but the file was empty. File was .mpg not .ts. Tried a scheduled record. Same thing. I have nothing to send to you. Joe

Well, the issue certainly was codecs. However, those 32360 signals were still troublesome. Freezing after a short while and no audio even after switching around several video and audio codecs. Loaded DVBDream. No problems using those same codecs. No freezing and good audio. For whatever the...

Video on DVB-S S/R above 30000 - PCI S2 card With the DVBWorld pci S2 card, I can lock on DVB-S HD signals with a S/R of 32360 but the video is just a quick snapshop, in other words, frozen at the initial load. Cancel and reload the channel, get an updated snapshot, just no moving video. Tried...

Thanks for responding. Must be ok with my list because no one else chimed in with an opinion. Since my post, I also checked in on the AVSForum for some ideas. The motherboard and processor seem to be pretty popular with the HTPC crowd except those with deep pockets. Joe

Rather than trying to upgrade an older Dell 4550 PC, I'm planning to build a new PC from scratch for DVB/DVB-S2 and HD reception. Currently using a DVBWorld S2 pci card. Works OK for most HD stuff but is really being taxed. Looking for some suggestions on what components to get. I've done some...

Here is a simple schematic. Joe

P, Thanks for replying. But, you lost me there. Trying to think this through, in the 4DTV and DVB receiver setup, the voltage to the big dish lnb's is coming from the 4DTV and dc blocked on the DVB receiver side. The DVB's (3) then only control the multiswitch and their respective diseqc's...

This issue involves the signal quality of c-band freqs on a SV8000HD and how it is affected positively by another tuner on the same freq. Before I start fumbling into troubleshooting this problem, I thought I might run it by you folks for any suggestions on where to look first. Best description...

Visionsat IV-200. No doubt about it. The built in pvr gives it a big advantage over the Fortec. Joe

All feeds, both H and V. Peaked dish position. Even tried a skew adjustment. Signal was peaked. As I said, Twinhan card worked great. Last night, early ESPN game was passable and late game was unwatchable. Signal quality was just ok but lockable on early game. On late game, quality was very low...

Tried to watch FTA games yesterday on my Sonicview 8000HD but had continuous breakup/stuttering. Very similar to wrong codec or slow pc on DVB PCI card program. However, no problem viewing same on my pc with Twinhan and DVBDream. Have used 8000HD on other FTA signals with no problem. Curious to...
