My System: Fortec Star FS4200 with 60cm Dish Single LNB | Awesome, Do you know if it'll be there long. A friend of mine is tired of paying Sky subscription for just eurosport so he wants to find a cheaper alternative without reverting to the dreaded BBCi. Cheers | ||

Whats wrong with BBCi? get the right receiver and you can tune them like any other channel without having to go through that hellish slow clunky red button interface.

There are often a few on Ebay

My System: Fortec Star FS4200 with 60cm Dish Single LNB | The problem with bbci is the coverage is that they may show, for example, a whole 5000m race where no-one from the Uk is in it and completely forget an even such as high jump where we had a silver medallist. And the commentators go on for hours about irrelevant ramblings. This was a case from this years olympics. | ||

Are there any members having a trip to france could confirm for us one way or the other?

My System: Fortec Star FS4200 with 60cm Dish Single LNB | Off subject a little here, does anyone know what PID values are? Im looking into buying a new reciever, the Technomate TM5200D to be precise, and the description says about manually entering PID values. | ||

There are various sorts of pids - audio & video are the main ones, and most frequency sites list them. Most of the time there are no need to manually enter pids - the receiver deals with them automatically.

My System: 1 triax 80cm, smart dual output monobloc LNB @ 13E and 19.2E 1 minidish, quad LNB @ 28.2E Fortec Star 4200 set-top Metronic Original analogue set-top Hauppage Nova S+ x2 Compro Videomate 350 x1 2x WinXP PCs running GBPVR | Don't bother with eBay- you can get a brand new Metronic analogue "original" box for £23! _http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/236264/art/metronic/analogue-demodulator-orig.html Does a good job for me and also runs cool to boot. Even if Europsort only lasts a couple more years, this is value for money in my book. Then you can use it as a handy doorstop! Daniel | ||

My System: WinXP/Firefox 85cm Transparent dish and 3 LNB's One diseqc to Sky Star 2, and one diseqc to TM1500 and looped to a very old Pace MSS100 analog box | I want programmes that BBC would never cover, such as the Roller Ski champs this weekend. I watch it on the backroom TV on a analogue Pace box on a RF loop from the digital TM1500 box, and long may it continue. But, being greedy I'd like to watch it quietly on this PC screen upstairs. Here I've got SkyStar2 digital and can get Eurosport on 19E with German commentary on my ProgDVB program. When I recently re installed ProgDVB I saw on the setup screen the chance to click a button to receive Analogue TV. Could that mean Analogue Sat TV and is there a way for me to get Analogue Sat TV displayed on the ProgDVB program? Could I split the incoming signal between SS2 and a new Hauppage analogue pci card (if there is one) using a A/B switch? | ||

My System: Standard Sky Digibox and Conrad Electronics analogue receiver, Astra 19.2E |
The only issues I have are - a very slightly soft picture (but still much nicer than dvb!) - no tunable audio, and 6.50 is not included as a preset - a software bug where, if you disable its "pseudo-panda" audio de-emphasis, or tune to a preset channel which uses J17 or 50us instead, you have to turn the receiver to standby, and then back on again to get it back. But it's still *much* better than my Conrad Electronics "eurosky" branded receiver. | |||

My System: 1 triax 80cm, smart dual output monobloc LNB @ 13E and 19.2E 1 minidish, quad LNB @ 28.2E Fortec Star 4200 set-top Metronic Original analogue set-top Hauppage Nova S+ x2 Compro Videomate 350 x1 2x WinXP PCs running GBPVR | I noticed that mine was pretuned and only had English language for Eurosport. To be honest, I find the setup systep a bit confusing, because there is no OSD. I have a monobloc LNB and I always need to hit the toneburst button three times before I get Europsort up. I tried saving the settings, but it doesn't seem to stick. But none of these are major problems. I think that the analogue pic quality is amazing, though miss the digital sound. I get a few minor "sparklies", but can't be bothered to do any adjustments, as the issue is not that bad (even in a downpour). I just hope that Eurosport stays live for at least a couple more years.
