I don't know if anyone can help me but it is a problem I've had since buying a laptop with Vista installed. I have a Sktstar2 on an XP pc which works fine. I have 2 other XP pcs and they can network between each other ok and between the laptop. Unfortunately the Vista laptop will not network...

What will be interesting is by losing the Midland stations bid, thought to be around £30-40M whether they reverse this decision based on having the extra cash. Unfortunately it may be a little late in the day. There were indications that Magic woild have taken the Heart 106 frquency so staying...

I spoke to a Bauer manager earlier in the week to substantiate this claim and he said they were removing all their stations (which is 5, I call that large) which involves a saving of over £1m. They plan to return to satellite when the economic conditions are more favourable. What is...

It seems that a large number of radio stations are about to stop broadcasting on Sky including Kerrang, Q, Heat etc. as reported here:- http://musicradionews.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=977 this is worrying.

Even though dab bit-rates can be low quite a lot depends on how well the audio has been setup particularly the processing. Some 64k bitrate stations can sound better than 128k stations. The main problem with listening to Freeview stations through your hi-fi is not being able to turn your TV...

Hi, Is there a way of reading the channel lists in progdvb, the format is not text and may require another prog to read. I would like to copy and paste the channels I can receive to post the info on my website. I also use DVB dream but have the same problem. thanks Gary

Will take a look at both those options thank you. Before I do.....are there currently any other sats I can decode with the SS2/v-plug other than 1 deg West? thanks.

thankyou, yes I would be interested in the technicalities of card-sharing. Is there somewhere I can start, an idiots guide link, perhaps to somewhere on this forum. I became interested in sattv back in the early 90s mainly wanting to hear sat radio and the various foreign news stations. The...

I know its totally OT or rather off forum but is the way forward using these free internet football streaming sites. I've never used one but there must be a catch (or probably quite a few) that I'm yet unaware of. thanks.

thanks for your quick answer. I was wondering if I had something setup incorrectly. If I want to watch sports on encrypted channels what is the best free method these days. A sat receiver and update the keys manually. Card sharing (never tried it) or these Internet sites that stream football...

Hi, I have recently reinstalled my skystar2 with progdvb and vplug with latest keys. All I can unencrypt are a few channels at 1 deg west. Can someone tell me if this is normal and have the channels on Hotbird etc tightened up their encryption. If I should be encrypting channels on hotbird...
