Do you get any signal at all ?

Progdvb is really a better tool for the SS2 remlap, if you want flexibility from your new purchase. Get 4.62.6 from the site, it's a bit less flakey than the later ones.

Ive got it working I wasnt worried about plugins, more about fta right now.

I swoped PCI cards like suggested in one of the pdfs on the drivers CD.

Still flakey I guess my satellite box on Astra 1 and Eurobird need to be tuned a little better to get a stable picture.

Astra DVB-S HD trailer WOW.

If you can get round to 13E there are a few more stunning ones on there too !!

Oh what settings?

Also im finding some difficulty getting a permant lock on any station, its perfect on my satellite box, yet on the skystar it flutates and on average 20% lower, Astra and Hotbird should be pulling in 99% im getting aroun 60-80 on both.

Still cant get this working without flatuating every so often, Ive tried Eutelsat W3A for a 4:2:2 feed, tunes okay on my comag the skystar nothing, and really strong ones like M6 Suisse is weak and loses signal every so often.

Edit- Got a 4:2:2 feed working on W3A still really really weak
