[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 999754, member: 176704"] Well, in the end, I bought a DVBSky S952 dual DVB-S2 tuner PCI-E card and put it in the "new" ACER X275, with a SATA power splitter to feed power to the 6-way Molex connector on the rear end of the board. Now here's the problem I'm coming up against: - I connected the top tuner on the board to the same cable as I had previously connected the TM in order to scan (1 at a time!) 13E/19E/28E on the Gemini 90, which means Ports 1/2/3 on the Opticom 10-way Diseqc Switch down near the dish. That being a Diseqc 1.1 Switch, in the DVBSky s/w menu under "Scanner" I selected "Preset Position" 1/2/3 respectively for the appropriate LNB before scanning. - When I scanned those birds, a large number (300+) of appropriate channels for each one was picked up - but when I try to actually view any of the channels on any of these 3 sats, I get no picture/sound because the signal strength is showing as only around 3% to 10% at best. EDITED: Just gone back to the Channel lists - and found that I have [I]also [/I]got 23.5E flagged as a scanned sat, although (AFAIK) I never selected that one to scan - and there is no fixed LNB aimed at that satellite!. Then, when I look at the channels now listed on 23.5E, they look "correct" and I'm even getting a strong signal (56%) on the "HD Demo ASTRA & RAI" channel but still no picture/sound. This is my first play-around with the DVBSky, or any other sat card, s/w but I'm wondering what I might have done wrong - so, any ideas? Thanks in advance. John [/QUOTE]
