cheers, catch ya later, gotta go !!

just before I sod off, this is off the Opensky info page, which is where it all started !! In order to receive OPENSKY™ services, you need a PC, a sufficiently large diameter dish (normally 60-90 cm) pointed to satellite W3 at 7 degrees East, and any type of standard DVB receiver device...

Thanks for the help, it looks like I'm gonna be a bit busy next week ! I'll let ya know how I get on !! cheers again

same again ! sorry !

Quality drops to 0% and the Level to 18% !!!

To be honest I aint got a clue ! But I will have another look around when I have some more time, I'm not in a rush and I'm also trying to learn which isn't easy ! The original dish was set up to use Eutelsat with Broadband, I haven't moved the dish horizontally (i.e. left or right) since then...

just been playing with ProgDVB and seem to have found somehting, but can't find the listing so just wondered if anyone can tell what satellite I'm tuned unto with the following info ? Freq 11390000 Horiz Polarity 27500 Symb Rate TV Progs visable are all GLOBECAST SPAIN and they are just 4...

cheers ! p.s. saw you in King Arthur last night, very good it was too !!

Well the dish is a 1.2m one and Ilive North of Aberdeen, I believe it was pointed at Eutelsat for the Broadband, however when I tried to find TV Stations I only got the same sort of response. I have tried moving it a wee bit with the aid of a 'Satellite Finder' thingumy but I aint found anything...

I am new to all this ! Used to have Satellite Internet but since now got BB have been trying top use the dish and Manhattan DVB Sat Box to get satellite telly on my PC. Been tying to use ProgDVB but even when I get 80% for quality and level all I seem to get after scanning are little green...

Had Satellite Internet for 9 moths or so, although it was better that Dial Up it cost £250 for the hardware and £20 a month subscription (one way) on top of the usual ISP charges. It was very hit and miss on speed although an improvement in standard dial up but it aint a patch on BB, been with...

Thanks Rolf, I knew I'd come to the right place !!

The Sat Broadband was more expensive than my Broadband now is (your have to keep your usual ISP, £15 a month, plus the Sat subscription which was another £20, my PIPEX Broadband for 1Gb is £28 a month) Sat Broadband is only fast one way and although it was faster than Dial Up it isn't a patch on...

Sorry, its a DVB-IP 1000 ??

I think I may have confused the issue ! I have a 1.2m dish wired into a Manhattan DVB Sat Box whic itself is connected to the PC by a USB cable. Now I don't know if I need any other hardware but I know the old Opensky Software won't work because I aint subscribed to them any more, so I assume...
