Eurosport on 19e

[Boratscousin]

For Info I bought in France a new analog receiver 'Strong' brand for 40 euros at Darty (TV/electronics store) in August. ;)

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?

simple. No.

Don't bother with eBay- you can get a brand new Metronic analogue "original" box for £23!

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!

I bought one of these last week. I'm pleased with it overall.
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.

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.

I haven't got my monobloc LNB yet, so I haven't been able to test the Disecq functionality, but I'm able to store toneburst modes just by pressing the recessed 'mem' button on the remote control using a ballpoint pen.

I think that the analogue pic quality is amazing, though miss the digital sound.

Ironically, analogue satellite sound can be amazing too - it uses a dual FM system. The problem is that Astra channels use something called "wegener panda" noise reduction, which is like a very extreme version of Dolby Noise reduction as used on cassette tapes, and a lot of receivers (including the metronic) don't have the proper wegener chips inside to decode it - they have bad imitations instead!

Hey again guys
Just one more thing..
I've just noticed that eurosport on 13e has gone over to Videoguard )(-red
Does this mean it is now unhackable? Obviously its illegal nonetheless, but are my thoughts correct?

Cheers for any responses.

NDS = subscription only.

 

[juzzthefuzz]

Cheers. Although I was wondering, on lyngsat is listed pretty much the whole list of encryptions. Does it run all encryptions and can be 'unlocked' with an emulator running one or more of the encryptions?
Any help is appreciated

Fuzz

Also, Cheers to AnalogueSat for your quick response

 

[Analoguesat]

Some of the Eurosports versions - there are several on 13E - are simulcrypted (more than one encryption used).

I dont think any of the encryptions used are currently open on patches / emulators

Reverting back to the first posts on this thread - Eurosport in analogue, I notice that this year they do not cover the Moto Grand Prix's as they had done in previous years. They do have a somewhat truncated coverage of World Superbikes though. I suppose it must be a cost cutting measure.

However. BBC do cover the Grand Prix, and the 125's and 250's under the red button, and with the bonus that there are no advert interruptions!

Although The BBCs Moto GP team of Cox & Parrish suck like nothing else before, the 125 and 250 coverage on the Red Button is Dornas World Feed, commentated by a team led by Nick Harris (he did some Havoc stuff) and is absolutely top notch, certainly a viable alternative if you cant get Toby n Jules on Eurospurt. Or if that toolbag Carlton Kirbys doing the coverage because Toby n Jules had already commited themselves to other stuff when Eurospurt initially lost the GPs.

I was powering up the old Pace Prima to watch the Tour de France, but it sounds like that won't happen!

[ghinzani]

Not on Analouge then? Surely some of it will be.

 

[DanielP]

I'm watching Tour de France on analogue now!!! Quite funny actually, as I haven't used my analogue box for ages- just as I fire it up a notification e-mail drops in from this thread!!

Daniel

 

[irart]

The Tour De France is on Eurosport, both analogue and digital. I was watching it this afternoon!

 

[bobed]

Keep me right guys, I couldn't get it on 11259 V on 19E - where is it now. Or have I just forgotten how to use the Pace?!

TIA,

bobed

 

[nelson_b]

hi - what kind of l.n.b. is on your dish ?
your pace prima reciever may need its l.n.b. menu settings changing
it may have been on an older type of l.n.b. in the past and not set up for a more recent universal type

regards nelson,b

 

[DanielP]

Sorry.Mine has always worked with my universal monbloc LNB.

BTW....do you have a monobloc (19/13E)? Mine always defaults to the wrong setting, so I need hit the diseqc (toneburst) button to get a picture. Even when I put this in the memory, it doesn'tn remember (but only this channel).

Thanks for the help and advice - I thought we had lost all analogue Eurosport!

I fiddled around with the Pace and eventually got it to work by looping it through the Digital Humax. I selected 19E on the Humax and then switched on the Pace and suddenly I had Eurosport. I have a monoblock LNB and couldn't get it to switch.

I was in time to see the TdeF going through Arles - the one I really wanted to see!! Love the Tour, know the town.

Thanks again
