Thanks The receiver is a Dreambox 500

Happy Easter everyone! I'm trying to set up a dish for a relative and having trouble with it. The dish is an 80cm mesh one from the analogue days, so is 10 or more years old but in perfect condition. The LNB is a Thomson quad, which had been used at a previous location with a Fortec Star...

The PLI team have a plugin which does what you describe here. AFAIK it can only be downloaded from within the PLI image. Otherwise maybe we can reconfigure EPG Evolution to pull its data from the RadioTimes website instead?

Well, I'm pleased to say I finally found the solution! The only way I can get streaming to work properly is by reimaging with the Peter Pan Neverland image. It's a world apart. Shame it took so long, as I've missed so many good programs by now, but it's ready for Christmas :-Cbigsmil

Oops, forgot to answer that. I think it's about 65% in use

I'm recording using the PVR function... the one that records a .ts stream, which contains in some cases 3 audio tracks! If I could get that down to 1 only it might help. This evening I am going to change the block write and read size to 24mb to see what effect that has. Failing that I will...

Yes, it is. The mount itself is fine. Today I contacted DM who asked me to try the original firmware so as to verify if it is a hardware problem. I also visited their forum and found this...

No, the network itself seems to be doing nicely. The PC has no firewall, though the wireless router does, although somewhat primitive. The drive I am using is the PC's internal HD. No worries about NGrab as it's CIFS I want to use really. I have also tried with my old laptop, and my desktop...

I just edited my config file, and set the rsize and wsize to 16384, using putty and vi. I closed the file using :x and then opened it via FTP to check that the changes were saved. They were indeed, so I rebooted the box just in case that is necessary, then made a new recording, and tried to...

Hi guys, This is really doing my head in :eek: Using both wireless (54mbit) and wired (100mbit) connections the PVR recorded .ts stream freezes every 20 seconds or so (even if I play it on the PC), and playback via the DM causes it to crash totally. If I use NGRAB I can only play it back on the...

My parents have the same set up as you and I, only they have a different LNB to mine, and theirs never fails to move! Then we fitted a Quad LNB so that they could have multiple receivers and the motor hardly ever wanted to move. Swapped it back and it was fine again. So it may have something...

Hi Robbo, I will suggest terminating the outputs to my Dad and see what he says. Someone in another forum also suggested that the LNB may be draining too much power from the cable and not leaving enough for the motor. I thought I read in the dreambox manual that I can increase the power output...

I'm pleased to say it's solved! :) Before I wrote this thread yesterday I made one last attempt to pick up channels from 30W, to no avail. So I realigned the dish back to 19.2E and left it. This morning I was curious to try 30W with the intention of nudging it east or west with the receiver...

I don't really understand why starting on Thor would make a difference, would you mind explaining please? Howcome the same procedure worked so perfectly in Holland?

Hi Guys, I am trying to duplicate the setup I have in Holland for my parents in the UK. Ie Dreambox 500, Moteck 2100A motor and an 80cm dish (whereas I have 60cm in NL). Just as in Holland, I entered the co-ordinates of the location, and told the Dreambox to use the Goto X function, and sent...
