I am using a digital receiver "pentavision ci" internet date/free to air card for my pc and Although i am having problems (for now) getting my motorised system running (ie finding the arc) i am presently using the system as a fixed dish (temp) Presently i am pointing at hotbird and so my pentavision ci card is working but i want to get the picture out of the card and onto a normal tv directly or through a video etc but:
1/ I can tune in the video signal on the tv and get the horizontal bars and i can get the menu screen of my video on the tv screen but i cannot get a picture from my satellite pentavision ci card to come through the video or tv.
The back of the card has a:
I/O cable connection
remocon sensor
smart card reader connection
antenna cable
it also came supplied with a cable that fits to the I/O cable connection and which consists of:
a 15 pin connection that goes out to a vga card, in my case a voodoo 3.
a monitor connection
and 4 audio leads:
white - audio left in
red - audio right in
yellow - video in
black - tv out
i have an aerial connection made up that i use for my playstation as it has the normal aerial for a tv at one end and fits over the leads of the pentavision ci card perfectly.
I have connected the black tv out to my aeriel lead and pluged it into my tv then tuned it in with no success. at this point the card was tuned to a sat channel coming through but not through my panasonic tv.
I tried the yellow video in to the video, then aerial out to tv from video but no picture.
and i tried yellow video in cable to tv direct but nothing
what am i doing wrong?
My pc system contains:
p3, 450mhz
128mb ram, sb live card
cr-rom,cd-rw
voodoo 3 card, 16megs
6 gb hard drive
windows 95B
My voodoo 3 has a tv out so i got the lead for it and i cannot get a picture either so this may be related.
The pentavision ci is a video capture card also.
Is their something i need to fit?
Thanks.
