DVB World /Nextorm USB Sat on Vista 64?

[bryanw20]

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 Nextorm, what I used to use to watch it with; but they install; but won't find or initialize the USB device.

Any suggestions to get 'er back up & watching?

You might find a compatible driver, but if your goal is to receive HD programming you may want to reconsider using this device. There are a few DVBS HD channels, but many are S2. You might consider a new PCI DVBS S2 card.

Thanks.. guess I won't worry about it then.

The unit would receive some HD and do 4:2:2, so it would be worth playing with. I Googled and found this driver source: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=1824596 . Might give it a try.

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 called now?

translation chart = What satellite is where

Vista rejects it because it's not signed

can't you click something to install it anyway. Like ignore this warning?

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.

There is a way to start the computer and disable the "Digital Signing". That was not a well recieved feature for sure. I skipped Vista and never learned to deal with it's weird trips that much. F8 (boot menu) offers to disable driver signing. But it's just for that boot cycle. Have to do every time you start the computer.

Ask your IT --- add a digital signature --- do not know how, but (mine) says he can do... But he hates Vista (and says W8 is almost (??) as bad.)
