I think this object left Earth orbit after about 1 1/2 years. While there are plenty of cranks who believed it to be an alien spacecraft, the most likely explanation is here. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news136.html

There is no doubt that your PC greatly exceeds what is required so that probably isn't the problem. Hopefully My Theatre will be more successful. I haven't managed to get that to work on my system though. The levels you mentioned should be sufficient to get fairly stable viewing with ProgDVB...

I can't help you with the CAM problem, but your problem with ProgDVB could just be down to the signal as it is VERY prone to crashes when the signal is weak or of a poor quality.

It's in receivers->PCI DVB Cards section on Toecutters (black) Satarman.

Nice one - very handy.

They are all basically the same but some have more entries than others. The bottom line is that you only need keys for satellites/providers that you view so there is no point in having a huge file with keys that you will never need as this will result in poorer performance with the likes of...

And also on ITV2

If you keep trying it does work - seems to be erratic though.

Well said Wolsty! There may be a place for those deviants and their stinking effluent ridden seafood in Padstow but not here.

Turny, The Nokia OND box (Mediamaster 9850T) has embedded mediaguard (the CAS you refer to?) and a separate PCMCIA interface for a CAM.

That's not a problem if they only want Freeview but a real sickener otherwise. It's unfortunate that you often get stung when you're the first to buy new technology - not least in the pocket.

Einstein's alcove? Should this not be beer stein's alcove? :)

You're not alone interman4151 - same problem for me with Hauppauge Nova (but also no ability to scan - another thread, but there are yet more with the same sort of problems). Have you tried ProgDVB? It isn't without it's problems (that's why I tried MyTheatre) but it does actually give you a...

For £15 Tiscali do an anytime "broadband" service. It's not the usual broadband speed - it's just 3x normal dialup but you'd notice a difference for the same money. Of course it doesn't give you any free calls though.

I'm pretty certain that all IDTV's are required by law to have a CAM slot and are all updatable through software. It would be pretty stupid if they weren't!
