Sounds like you have the Windows Firewall switched on to me. This has caused me numerous problems in the past.

I live in Surrey and have a 90cm Toroidal with 8 LNBs ranging from 5w to 28.2e and I get a very good signal from all the transponders. I centre on 13 allowing me to find the outside satellites. The dish is an absolute bu**er to set up, it took me about 3 weekends to get the signals to a level...

Do you guys reckon that an image with recording/streaming facilities built in is better than using an external program, such as 'Jack' ?? My own thoughts are that an external program gives you more options in terms of re-distribution. I can stream the resultant mpegs across my intranet and...

Apologies .... My problem here is that I'm never quite sure what I'm allowed to post and what I'm not. From reading the do's and don't's it seems that it's fairly easy to p*ss people off either way, so I prefer the softly softly approach, and I appreciate the 'leeching' comment however that is...

'Jack the Grabber' is the name of the software. A mate of mine mailed me the URL on Friday. H.

I've done a search on the forum but I see anyone posting about this piece of software. I downloaded it yesterday and was recording programmes on my harddrive in superb quality both video and audio. It does take about 1.1gb for 40 minutes of video but with hard drives being so cheap now I don't...

I have XP Pro on 2 machines and Tablet PC on my .... er ....tablet !! All legit keys. I upgraded 1 XP Pro machine and the tablet PC about a month to 6 weeks ago and I've only found 1 problem so far and that's with my webcam re-booting the machine whenever I try and use it. The tablet edition...

Well, I've got all the stuff working, loads of channels it's great .... but I can't get bloody TuxVision to work at all. I just get a message telling me that there was a PID failure .....AHHHHHHHGGGGG!!! As previously discussed, I want to stream live video from the box, but TuxVision seems the...

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to stream TO the internet, basically so that I can watch stuff from anywhere I might be in the world. I'm just wondering if anybody with a router, has done it successfully and what the results were like.

Having decided to get the DM7k, I'm now interested in using it's ability to stream live tv. With it connected to the router and with the correct ports opened up, it should, in theory, be able to get at the live stream externally. I have NTL broadband and I have successfully set up my own hosted...

Several banks over the years .... I'm an IT contractor !!O-Ha

I use a 22" Samsung wide screen LCD with a DVI interface as both TV & monitor. The high resolution and digital interface gives me photo like image when I play mpegs and I assume that the quality will be the same with the SkyStar and also when streaming from the DreamBox ....

Cool !! I shall get both ! The wife will be over the moon ! Thanks.

Has anybody got any views on which is the best setup ...... DreamBox 7000s with an image, (I know you all have your preferences!!), or SkyStar with ProgDVB ?? I've got all the necessary equipment, PC with XP, LCD Hi-Def Screens and I'm currently using an old faithful Humax FI-CI with a superb...

Can you guys help me out with ModShack please ..... I bought a cable dreambox last week and I've managed to get a RuDBox + the SoftCam.Key from a mate of mine, and I'm just about to get DM7000s for the satellite, but I need to get into ModShack. Problem is that the site isn't taking any more...
