I'm getting this as well, ever since installing SP3. The only solution I've found is to open Device Manager (right-click "My Computer, Hardware, Device Manager), disable the SS2 and then immediately re-enable (I use the non-BDA drivers, so my SS2 shows up as a network adaptor). It's a pain...

The trouble with software, motors and BDA is that even though writing software to use the card is possible, there's no standardised way of delivering the Diseqc commands to the driver; each manufacturer has their own implementation. So you need to make sure that maker of the card you've chosen...

As always, LJ's site has the answer: http://liveonsat.com/US_AMfootball.php for NFL games. For the past few seasons there has been a reliable feed (FTA) every Sunday evening too via Telstar at 15W. If you've got a motorised system then that might be worth looking out to see if it returns. s

It seems that the FTA version currently on Astra2 is "NASN Europe" while the encrytped one is the "UK and Ireland" version of NASN. The schedules are slightly different (both versions of the schedule are on the NASN website; you need to tell it what region you're in to see the appropriate one)...

Have you tried using an older version of ProgDVB? I use 4.26.4 (available on the ProgDVB website)- using anything later than this makes mpgs that I have problems playing back on my Hauppauge MVP. s

Changing to ProgDVB 4.26.4 might help. I've had jumpy video problems with every version I've tried other than this one. s

To resurrect an old topic (but at least the info is written down somewhere now!): I've managed to get my favourite plugin working with DVBPortal, as well as all the files (dll, ini etc) that you would normally put in a "plugins" directory, you need to add a common scrambling algorithm file. Use...

According to Digiguide, Five does indeed have coverage (highlights of Sunday's games, followed by a live game) on Monday night (or rather Tuesday morning). As for the other options, keep an eye on Telestar 15W 12573V (SR 6111) on Sunday night. Premiere on Astra 1 also broadcast 2 Sunday night...

Or look at the listings at: http://knplogic.com/sport/F1.html For other FTA options.

Simplest way to get the Moonlight decoder is to install/re-install ProgDVB- tick the option to "Register Elecard Filters" during the install process. This will then install and register the Moonlight filter which should allow viewing of 4:2:2 feeds. You can tell if your system is using the...

I can't help you with your box, but as for broadcasters showing baseball, the options I've found (for last season anyway) that might be receivable are: Canal+ Deporte (Astra1, S*ca2, seemed to show delayed coverage of a couple of games a week). NASN (Astra2, NDS, lots of live games but you...

Well, I finally got the motor under control yesterday. After much investigation with an oscilloscope, the Diseqc specification, a mate's STB etc, etc, I ended up getting the motor down and bringing it indoors to connect to the PC directly over a short cable. Turns out it was a software...

Thanks for that- it was indeed a problem with different versions of the "official Technisat" and "patched" drivers for the card. Once I rolled back my Technisat driver to 4.2.11, I found that the patched SkyNET.sys from SS2Diseqc 1.7 did the trick (i.e. my card is now sending out pulses)...

Hi, I put my new Moteck H-H motor up yesterday, no problem with moving it manually with the little button on front, but my SkyStar 2 can't seem to control it. I'm using ProgDVB as my viewer, and have tried a few different plugins, inc Dixie, SS2Diseqc (with new skynet.sys driver) and Diseqcu...
