Cheers...that's what I thought. Shame!

Hi all, I've had some serious problems with my PC so only just managed to get my Twinhan PCI card working again after several months. Anyway, I notice that all the Multivision channels have gone, and some other channels previously viewable are now scrambled. Have all the good channels now...

Is it gone forever?

Hi all...does anyone know if my Twinhan VP1030a Sat-CI PCI card will work on Vista. It's that I just bought a new Vista PC and wouldn't mind moving my PCI cards from my old PC to the new one. Incidentally, I know it's the wrong forum but I've got a Hauppauge Win-TV Nova-t card too. Will...

All.....spotted talk of a tps.bin file on various sites with a note that it must be used with the latest version of vplug (1.4.0 I think). Anyone know anyhting about it....i.e. what does it do, and how do you install it? cheers, M

I've been using a cheap one (think it was 10 or 15 pond) from Maplin. It's the one with the needle and it is ok, but sometimes the tone it emits when it locates a satellite (especially Hotbird) doesn't seem to change much as your fine tuning the signal and therefore makes location a tad...

Hi....don't know anything about dm500s but chmod is a Unix/Linux command to change file or directory permissions. i.e. chmod 755 filename This will allow full access to yourself, and read/execute permissions to everyone else. Hope that helps

You said it......sussin frassin encrypted channels!

Still nothing here......you using a softcam?

Hi all......can anyone answer some questions I (and probably lots of others) have on the mysteries of using softcams/decryption in general. Apologies in advance for the basic level of these questions but they do seem valid to me. Firslty, who creates these softcams in the first place? Does...

Newgen2005....are you using any plugin/softcam with progdvb? It definitely doesn't work with my progdvb.

A friend of mine (not me of course) tried to have a sneaky peak at Dorcel on HB13 last night but there was no picture......after the sad demise of T*S my friend (not me again) has been a bit down.....sob sob. Any ideas? Melv's friend.

Hi All......a quick update. I managed to track down Hotbird again - more luck than judgement. Let's hope those strong easterly winds down blow it off track again. Anyway, as an aside I noticed that a load of channels weren't working so I reset the transponder list (120+ now) and retuned...

Hi all, for a couple of months or so I've been able to get all the hotbird channels but recently a strong wind must have moved my dish and now I'm having trouble locating the satellite again. Now my dish is a 60cm I think and is one of the early sky ones. The only tools I have at my disposal...

It's official....I'm not such a muppet after all. I finally managed to get the plugins working last night. Thanks again to Gromit and some others that helped to sort this out. Cheers all. Melvyn
