    fastsatfinder - Twinhan Starbox2

    Hi All, Thanks for clearing that up Rolf , that was indeed what I was trying to say. I've been too long away from the forum and really confused everyone (including myself). I know that the early versions of progDVB wouldn't run without the setup4PC installed , hence the somewhat garbled reply...

    fastsatfinder - Twinhan Starbox2

    Hi c-m, Are You using an early version of MT , such as 2.76 or a later version with their own core(engine) in it? I'm not familiar with the Twinhan (use an SS2 myself) but the SS2 had a setup4pc program which You had to be installed which locked onto the satellite signal and then used that for...

    Progdvb mpeg2 bit rates

    Hi CH3, I'm using the SS2 with My Theatre and that also captures at 15,000kps and I never bother converting my captures. All it says in Nero is that it will produce an out of standard DVD and do I want to continue? I just click Yes and to date all the discs are fine. I do use a DVD authoring...

    dig+ open on skystar

    Hi Pothead13, Just checked out the plug in on 19 east and can't open any of the D+ channels either. The only thing I can think is that 30W only uses N*gravision A , whereas 19E uses M*diaguard 2 as well , so perhaps it only opens the N*gravision A channels (and won't do both types). It may also...

    Who make a low profile DVB-S card

    Hi Wave Ace, I'm assuming that You need the low profile to put into a HTPC case or Mini ITX case. Does the case have existing slots for low profile cards or is it a custom install. The reason I ask is that You may be able to use a Mini ITX PCI riser card which will mount a PCI card above the...

    DVB card or Digital receiver+TV tuner card

    Hi WG4U, I think that the favourite DVB-S card out at the moment is the Skystar 2 , which as You say has software rendering , and also uses the S2 & Capi emulators. I use a 2.3Rev SS2 with a Duron 900 system and it works well but would probably say to use the best processor you can afford. The...

    1st series Babylon 5

    Rolf, Hello Old friend (sound familiar!!), You may have guessed from the opening line that I'm also a sad git , having all the vids of B5 (will eventually get the DVD's if only for the gag reels) and I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Everyone has their favourite episodes/seasons , but I agree...

    problems vz my theatre

    Hi again CE, I suspect that the problem with MT shutting down is a key problem , as it also happens on my computer as well. I don't think that canal can be opened using either of the 2 emu's mentioned.Perhaps someone with a bit more knowledge can let You know if it's possible. If You try the...

    problems vz my theatre

    Hi Coloureye, As far as the yankse plug in goes , it seems to have been replaced by S2Emu and CAPI. When You get a new emu like Capi (or S2) , only the DLL file goes into the My theatre/MDPlugins folder , and the other files go into the root directory (C:Program files/My Theatre). You will also...

    mytheatre + change language

    Hi DL2003, When You have the list of channels on the LHS of the screen , simply do a right mouse click on the channel name and change the audio PID until it is in the correct language. Some channels do not always broadcast an alternative audio , so options may be limited to learning 7 different...

    Dr Who companions

    Hi Fellow Whovians, I must admit , I nearly voted for Leela , but after seing CH's picture of Jo , decided that the Pertwee era was better (Honest guys !!). Also can anyone tell me what episode that picture was from !!! Let's see how the polls go now there's a bit more interest for the "dads"...

    S2emu FYI

    HiYa Stick, Looks like I've caused You a bit of grief in Your offer to checkout the softcams. Apologies for that , so I thought the least I could do is add some input. Like Davie , I,m using S2 1.13 (1.1.3.0 26/2/2005) and Capi V04 (V1.0.0.1 15/1/2005) both from a certain "Fun" site that does...

    New softcams question

    HiYa Stick, Thanks for the reply. I know You're a man of many talents , and many satellites by the look of it!! As You no doubt have already guessed from previous chats I'm but a fledgling in this bird spotting thing. Previous "tamperings" were with the old analogue , later to be replaced with 2...

    New softcams question

    HI All , The Old Geezer's back again, Although I'm fairly happy with the current crop of Emu's (S2 and Capi) , I've spotted a couple of new ones. Namely EmuNation and Psoft. Anybody had any joy using these with MT 2.76 ? I've downloaded them and read through the files but it's still a mystery...

    Newbie looking for lots of info :D

    Hi Scotty306, Seems like You've had a few replies about which to stick Your dish (careful now !!) , so thought I'd answer the question about the W*ndows Media Centre. I installed it at one time on my PC to get a HTPC (Home Theatre PC) set up working , but found that it was primarily aimed at the...
