No signal fron skystar 2 PCI card

[juandan]

I have 80cm raven dish with quad LNB, I only use one connection from the quad LNB, winxp, I receive all the FTV channels, my tely packed in, so I thought I'll watch tv on my pc, I installed the Skystar 2 but Its says no signal I know I'm getting a signal so why is the tv card saying no signal

Which application are you using? (DVBViewer, ProgDVB or...?)

Hi, I'm not using any application, after I installed the skystar 2 software I clicked on the red Icon in system tray and it said no signal, I have since loaned a tv from a friend just to do a signal test on my Sky digi box and I'm getting a good signal from the dish, i'm new to tv cards so I don't really know what I'm doing, on the install cd it says the manual is on the cd but when I run the cd again it just wants to install again

Clicking on the red icon gets you Technisat's Setup4pc's software which is auto installed on using the Skystar. Don't bother with it. Your CD should allow you to install the basic DVBViewer. Or search for a more versatile application such as ProgDVB 0r DVBDream, both free.

Thanks for that I will try it but I can't tonight as my grandaughter is watching the on the loaded tv, I only have one coax cable and thats back in the Sky digi box, I bought the card on Ebay and just noticed the Infra-red receiver for the remote is missing, so I might be sending it back

Don't I first have to get a signal? as I say the card is saying no signal , I thought the DVBviewer is for viewing the picture

[Llew]

DVBViewer (or any other viewer) will set up your card to receive the signal from your dish.

In DVBViewer, click on Options - hardware to see that Skystar2 is listed.

Click on Channel - channellist in the top bar and choose Astra 28E and find a FTA channel to view.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, in the end I sold the card,
thanks for your help

Is your motherboard Nvidia chipset based?

no. I am using Intel integrated graphics card.

The discussion on the skystar 1 USB has no relevance on this thread so I have split it off to it's own thread

but it happened after i got a new POWER SUPPLY
the old one was ATX-450W (when there was signal)
and the new one is SR-650W when i installed this power supply signal became 0%
