Getting started with SS2

ianfoster

I am on a steep learning curve and need a mentor!

I have a skystar2 PCI Card (Ebay-EOL)
I have loaded the latest drivers (4.2.11.9999)
Running Win XP
Dual LNB & 80CM Dish - Getting pictures on Analog Receiver

Using DVBViewer it finds 84 Channels
But I get No Pic or Sound
Signal is 75%

Is it true that even if card is locked the latest driver solves this
How do I Check if it is locked?

What else could be wrong
Do I need Codecs Loaded - How can I tell if any are loaded - How do I Get them and load them if needed

I need a Patient Tame Expert

Try first with another viewer, if you have XP, then try MyTheatre. Some of the ex EOL cards can be locked, but there is unlocking software around.

I have now tried My Theatre

BTW I am pointing at 19.2

When I scan It claims to find 91 channels
But I can not get picture or sound

What are Graphs and why do I get a "..... Not found" error when I select one

See attached from Technisat. It doesn't mean to say the some of the unlocking software doesn't work, but it should be a last resort or it could be bye-bye card.

Did you install them when you had the MyTheatre install option panel come up?

Try re-installing and tick the graphs, codecs etc options. You can safely install MT V2.76 over the top of a previous V2.76 install.

Use version 2.76, better version and easier to get running properly.

uninstalld previous version
selected all options for install
Scanned all transponders found nothing

Still finds 64 with ProgDVB

Where to now?

BGonaSTICK

Your card may be locked, but it sounds like your dish, LNB or cable might not be right. You should find hundreds of channels on 19.2E. Try with a different digital receiver if poss, as rolfw said.
