    Nexus-S, TwinHan and PCTV Sat-CI

    Hi all I was just going through a few product descriptions admittedly for DVB-T but realised the the DVB-S cards Nexus-S, TwinHan and PCTV Sat-CI all had 2 satelite/screw-on type connection things. With the Nexus-S, this is at the front of the card where the metal reciever casing is but with...

    which DVB-t cards?

    Hi all, I'm looking at adding a dvb-t card or usb to my system. I'm currently using a Pinnacle PCTV Sat-CI version 1 card (TwinHan compatible) and though I'm not entirely happy about buying it and replacing the AverMedia DVB-s card I originally had, because for some reason I thought I needed...

    Does different cards pick up different channels?

    I did some more research and have discovered that the Asian Star channels became encrypted some time in March which was about the time I was going thru cards like they were out of fashion

    Does different cards pick up different channels?

    Hi Before I fianlly ended up with my TwinHan Compatible PCTV-Sat CI and before I discovered this site and learnt CAMs weren't really nec given softcams and plug-ins, I had the AverMedia DVB-s (my favourite of the 3) and then the WinTV Nova-s and on both it appeared I was able on Astra to...

    Pinnacle PCTV SAT CI card

    Hi pkiraas I own a PCTV Sat CI, which is based on the same architecture or chipset as the TwinHan VisionPlus CI card. It has its advantages in that you get the CI-module built in and a loop through like on hte Nexus-s, but short of that its not worth going the Pinnacle route. I'd say if you did...

    BIG Confusion

    LOL!!!! sure me just Confused!!!! I desperately think I picked the wrong card even though I actually like it and the best alternative was my original AverMedia, with its full interactivity(all the colour bottons) but it didn't have CI. So far I've found tones of Pinnacle fan sites all of...

    BIG Confusion

    Thanks for that. Not sure I quite got it but I think this was it 1 PC runs software, then 2 software tells hardware/motor to move. Or is it that the software tell a special chip on the card to move the motor? So technically speaking I'm still buggared for the motorised stuff b'cos I don't know...

    BIG Confusion

    Really!!! DiSEqC is just software!!!! So why do the product manufactureers and shops try to make one think its all about hardware. Then again maybe MT and ProgDVB have a system like how WinDVD 6 and PowerDVD decode DTS by software. The thing is I'm just scared to pay £150 for the motor dish...

    BIG Confusion

    OK found out finally what I need for a motorised system is the diseqc 1.2 compliance stuff. But I'm still lost b'cos my DVB-S card is the same chipset and look as the TwinHan VisionPlus (VP1030) and is what Mytheatre and ProgDVD run the card as is diseqc 1.2 compliant. But the user manual that...

    My theatre problem

    Hi don't know if you've fixed the problem yet, but I had a similar problem to this [i.e. signal but no picture] though I don't know exactly what your system setup is or how your DVB-S card works but after contacting DVBCore about my TwinHan VP1030 compatible Pinnacle PCTV Sat-CI they said I...

    BIG Confusion

    Hi I've been thinking of going motorised in the bid to find the right dish for me and last week upon reading about the Diseqc stuff I've become more confused and gone off the Idea at least for now, not knowing if I've got the right DVB-S card to start off with [a Pinnacle PCTV Sat-CI (same...

    SatDrive alternatives?

    Sorry if this is useless to you but you could try europeonline. They operate on Eutel W4 I think. I was going to go with them at one point (very cheap @ 9.99euros/month for connection alone if you already have a dish and DVB-s card) but then opted for an AOL ADSL upgrade offer instaed.
