[QUOTE="gfmoore, post: 747635, member: 113222"] Hi, I'm resurrecting this thread as I would like a solution for my Compro S500 as raised by the original poster and as per the subject heading (and in case anyone else comes here for a solution). It's my first post so apologies if I don't get it right (as in I hope my spec is attached), but in case not: win7 sp1 32bit, Compro S500 Core 2 Duo 4gb ram, MP v1.1.3.0 I have managed to get the compro driver installed and working even though Compro will not be releasing a win7 driver as the manufacturer of the chip they use does not support it anymore - there's a rude response to that attitude! The card does work perfectly using DVBViewerPro and I can get BBC HD. BBC1 HD and ITV HD, though because they are being fed off a sky minidish the signal does break up occasionally - Most, but not all, channels receive fine with epg and channel names. As per the OP I have tried scanning using the latest version of media portal and get no signal. I have to enable DVB-S rather than generic in the scanning option for the card otherwise the system hangs. I have tried scaning a single channel, namely BBC1 (West Midlands) which is on BBC 10.788 V TP46 CLEAR 22000 5/6 according to What satellite. I entered 10788000 (as well as 10788) in the frequency setting and also according to the Kingofsat site the modulation is qpsk, so I tried that as well. I note there is nowhere to set the FEC rate which should be 5/6 (This really needs to be added, I think, to the advanced option screen?) I did look at the xml and this was set correctly there, but the modulation is not in that list - does this matter? I could not get a signal. This seems to be an issue that could probably easily be sorted out as a) the Compro works and DVBViewer have solved it and b) it just seems too close to working. I would be very happy to spend some hours on this and am happy to download the source and recompile, I am a programmer, but don't know the ins and outs of this system. Anyone willing to help or offer suggestions? Gordon :thx: [/QUOTE]
