DVB Dream Question

I just started using DVB Dream and Have experienced a problem with Standard LNBF.

The software works ok with a Universal LNBF but I cannot get it to work with a Standard LNBF.

I have selected na bandstacked FSS in options/diseqc for G18 and am using a BSC321S. This lnbf works good in ProgDVB but not in DVB Dream.

What am I missing? :confused:

DVB Dream Positioner Problems

I have a Stab H H Motor on the dish and the software actually changes the positioner to that when I change it to Generic Diseqc. I have to go through several iterations. Set to USALS (which it does not do) in options goto positioner window select satellite click on modify click on send click on goto XX then click on send two to three times to move the dish. It does not save this after I have scanned and found channels. to goto a scanned satellite I have to go to positioner, select satellite click send, gotoXX click and then send two or three times.

Anybody have similar problems with positioner and storing sat positions????

Yes, I have had those headaches with Dvbdream. I don't use the positioner menu any more, I just disabled the usals, positioner, and entered raw diseqc usals commands in the diseqC menu for each individual satellite, no positions in the motor to get corrupted and lost in a re-set. I see you are using a twinhan so not sure if that would work for you, it doesn't work with my Twinhan 1020a but does work with the Skywalker I.

Do you mean the diseqc menu or the positioner menu?

Did you use the positioner menu to get the raw diseqc command string?

If you mean you entered them in the diseqc menu, how do you do that?

Thanks for the reply and your help. :)

Enter the raw diseqc commands in the DiseqC menu....options-DiseqC, highlight a satellite, select properties, select raw diseqc. Dvbdream doesn't generate the correct commands, you can get them from Mibi's skystar II positioner plugin if you have that card, I believe Alt-dvb will generate them with most cards. The newest version of Tsreader will also generate raw diseqc commands. Once you generate the command for that particular satellite, copy and paste it into the raw diseqc box in Dvbdream. You have to do this for each satellite, but you only do it once. LIke I said before, not sure if this will work with your Twinhan, you could give it a try. The drivers for the earlier twinhans would only handle 8 bit commands(diseqc1.2) where the Usals commands are 10 bits. Your Twinhan is newer so there might be a chance??
If you don't have the means to generate the commands, give me your longitude and latitude along with a couple of satellites you want to receive and I'll generate them for you.

The ten byte commands did work for me in the past on a Twinhan. But they have to be calculated for your lat long. The 8 byte commands are simpler

Here are the eight byte commands.

I preset the motor to the satellite in ProgDVB then I go to DVB Dream and in the positioner window I see I have Signal Strength and save that as a stored position. It seems to work.

Jerryt-

Do I follow Starmans instructions but associate the satellite with these 8 bit strings?

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
clear.gif

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
clear.gif

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
