    T*S now autoupdate on Diablo

    Could someone confirm if this AU on stealth 1.81 also updates for ABsat as part of the T*S bouquet ? If not, what to do ? Can I overwrite the tps.bin file from a valid one from the web as before (I tried but it didn't seem to work). Thanks in advance

    T-Rex Cam + CAS2 problems

    For those of you interested, I finally got my CAS2+ to program my Trex/Dragon. Despite several Emails, I never got a reply from Duolabs (zero points to Duolabs' after sales service) but I DID get a reply from the Italian Ebay shop I bought the unit from who offered an exchange unit. 3 weeks...

    Signal Strength versus Signal Quality

    A common cause of poor quality if your signal strength is OK is incorrect "skew" of the lnb on the dish. The "skew" is the angle of rotation of the lnb, it should not be vertical (or horizontal) & it depends on you location. The easiest is to just rotate the lnb left & right slightly while...

    T-Rex Cam + CAS2 problems

    This is an update on my problem of CAS2+ not programming a Dragon cam. I've tried on a different computer but just the same error. I've email Duolabs but no reply so far.

    T-Rex Cam + CAS2 problems

    Hi again mickha This is a real bummer. Everything seems fine. I removed & reinstalled, I've got just about all of the latest MS updates. I tried a usb adapter with external power. I dug out my old AXAS cam which was broken, and used the cas to fix it & reprogram MREV 2.25 onto it so the cas...

    T-Rex Cam + CAS2 problems

    Thanks for trying to help, Mickha I have the same setup as Watty at the top of this thread. The Duolabs site for the Cas2+ Plus states : • Dragon Cam; it is possible to program any version by inserting the Dragon Cam into Cas Interface 2+Plus and using a Dummy Card. This mode eliminates the...

    T-Rex Cam + CAS2 problems

    Nope, turning it round doesn't help. I get an error "not a valid loader card" so I guess the dummy card is ok (with the contacts facing down). Do you know if there are any issues with USB power not being sufficient ?

    T-Rex Cam + CAS2 problems

    I have the same problem ! A standard TREX module, a new CAS2+ and latest Cas Studio software, win XP I must be stupid because this should be really easy. Software recognises interface (one red light on unit) I plug in the trex, trex logo face up, plug the dummy adapter to the dummy card &...

    Digibox scart RGB out

    Many thanks Rolf. I thought it was just me being silly but I wonder just how many digibox users actually take advantage of the rgb output ? Very few, I would guess. Cheers

    Digibox scart RGB out

    I need some advice. I use an old slybox which has an rgb output on the scart connector. My LCD telly has componant in on phono plugs or a computer style rgb in. -It also has scart inputs but unfortunately it only seems to pickup the composite signal on the scart. I know you can buy a "proper"...

    VX4USB software, virtual com port.

    thanks for the info. I think it's going to be too difficult to sort out so I guess I will invest (again) in a new programmer. rkhsaw:(

    VX4USB software, virtual com port.

    Well I have this VX4USB programmer which I've just dusted off as I need to program a fun7 for dragonload. Prob. is that the s/w that came with it doesn't run correctly anymore as it continually trys to update from the vxtools.com website which is defunct, despite the fact that i have set the...

    Facinated by BBC clocks and their accuracies

    in those days, "crashing" over the last pip was vertually a sackable offence. Back queing discs up to the hour was done with military precision. :)
