Hi admin, hi everyone,

I have try your softwareProgDVB but not working.
problem: i have no signal at all.
pc: i have a P4. enough DDR memory. XP pro with pack 2.
i have skystar2 installed with latest drivers.
i have dish that works in my stand alone receiver. hotbird+astra.
i plugged only hotbird cable to my card. so no DISEcQ.

Here what i've done:
I tried to setup both. progDVB and setup4pc. setup4pc is red. no signal.
i tried to scan channels but no channel at all (wich is normal coz no signal)

Here are printscreens of my settings.
please help me coz its so exciting to have a dish+pc sat card and very frustrating not being able to use it at all.
(i tried to search in forums and now..im just disasperate..)

Hi dolphyn, welcome to the forum.

You're in Canada, and trying to receive Hotbird and Astra? No chance.

BTW, Pic3, ProgDVB LNB settings for LOF1 should be 9750.

Don't use Setup4pc, just use ProgDVB and as I said, put in your correct LOF1 frequency.

Is Your DVB Card waking up, If not then kick start your card. Then i am sure that u can add DISEcQ and later thinks, Progdvb has some problem few times to wake cards, ths why it wont work.
