My System: 3.2Ghz Quadcore PC 6GB Ram ATI 3870x2 Radeon Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Skystar HD2 card with Sky+ HD |
Hey guys Ive now picked up this card, and got it working but im having some trouble setting it up to find channels... Ive had a look around on some forums for guides etc but nothing stands out I am using DVBviewer pro, and im sure the correct frequencies to scan the channels for my area is Eurobird 1 & Astra 2A/2B/2D at 28.2°E but using the wizard scan in DVB only brings up 10 tv channels :S I cant remember which other frequency I used before, but I remember after it scanned it found a hell of a lot more channels, Also I cant seem to find ITV HD or how to tune it in Hopefully someone can help as this is doing my head in! | ||

Fighting the evil 3 Dragons under the Don Quixote banner,Sir Llew persevered where others failed | Welcme to the forum Lord Kram. For ITV HD, check post # 6 in this thread - http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellit...-skystar2.html Don't know why you've suddenly lost the ability to find other channels on 28E. Possible dish misalignment or cable problems? Why not use Transedit for scanning channels? You can download it from the DVBViewer members' site. Much more user friendly. Llew | ||

My System: 3.2Ghz Quadcore PC 6GB Ram ATI 3870x2 Radeon Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Skystar HD2 card with Sky+ HD | I think I found out what the problem was I changed the step size in DVBviewer TE2 to 1mhz, and starting the scan and already with only 3% scanned its found over 800 channels! I cant seem to find the option in DVBviewer pro, to change the step size to 1mhz though | ||

My System: 3.2Ghz Quadcore PC 6GB Ram ATI 3870x2 Radeon Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Skystar HD2 card with Sky+ HD | Ive now sorted out the channels problem, thanks for your help on that  But for some reason. whenever I goto select a different channel from the list, each time I have to go to settings and select video output B to be able to get a picture? Ive played about changing the decoders etc in settings, but cant seem to stop it Any ideas? | ||

My System: 3.2Ghz Quadcore PC 6GB Ram ATI 3870x2 Radeon Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Skystar HD2 card with Sky+ HD | Also I forgot to add this capture as well of the menu: I know its not the biggest problem in the world, but its extremely annoying To me it seems like the program is having problems switching between the different channels that use different bitrates/codecs? | ||

I have an earlier version of DVBViewer with my satellite setup, which doesn't have the two Video options, but I do have the later version for Terrestial. With that, I use the same codecs for both A and B, and don't have any switching problems there. Llew | |||
