Does the card boot when loading the progdvb ? should see some error message if not. You can try another pci slot on your motherboard too. Must have SS2 drivers installed first thing to do. Version of progdvb should have no effect on specific problem at hand. Tell all about this to us and we will see what we can do for you to fix problem.

go into system on control panel locate hardware and check that your card is there,enabled and functioning properly.
also inform forum of your complete system, it helps to diagnose problems

hi there here's my configuration concerning Skystar2 rev2.3 PCI

IntelP4 1.7 Ghz, win XP , video NVIDIA GEFORCE MX 440 AGP 64 Mo, no error messages in progdvb, the problem is that in progdvb in menu 'device list' it shows SKYSTAR2 but not like before it showed SKYSTAR2 PCI USB....
the signal level works perfect with progdvb so i've tried many other softs like altDVB and others it remains the same problem there's no video also no sound... i'm in trouble , i unplugged the card and plugged it again but without a chance i tried even the last progdvb version also the same problem, what can i do please need your help.
thanx

Have you tried it with MyTheatre? It can sometimes produce results more readily.

Hi,

The problem seems to be with driver and software installtion. Which version
of driver you are using? Try to use T.S softwre version greater than 4.2.11 or
use 4.30. Don't use the software bundled with the card,as the card is looking
like older Rev i.e 2.3 ( now rev 2.6 D is running).

Well it is possible that you have a bad card,I have not heard of one but I guess it could happen.Can you exchange it for another ? also if trying MyTheatre, try version 2.76 ,its a simple easy to use version and actually the best one for just watchin those channels with no frills (the frills dont work anyway!) if all software is installed correctly it would be hardware.Did you try another MOBO slot ?

I think it is the way you are installing the driver. I have had a similar problem before and it had something to do with the way i was installing the driver, wish i could remember what i done but it sounds to me like a driver installation problem. Your pc is not detecting the card correctly. Having the same problem on the other pc makes me think its the same driver installation problem or a remote chance the card is defective but if xp is seeing the card at any stage just not seeing it properly then it is probably working fine hardware wise. install any software that came with it as that can help even if not using it, such as viewing software.

it is the driver that the problem its not picking up skystar card (look at your attachments and look at mine, you need to sort this before you go any further
