[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 748917, member: 82144"] Hi Gordon Wow, you work fast! :eek::D I hope you haven't been put off by the comparitively slow response... One thing that you did miss is full logs. I'm giving you full credit for posting your tv.log, but it is really important to us (as developers and indeed anyone that wants to help) to have *all* the information at our disposal. There is a link in my signature showing how to grab logs - the watchdog makes it easy. :) Wow - that's nice of Compro. I'll make a mental note not to buy their hardware... Okay that is a good start. As long as you're not trying to use the card in two programs at once (which isn't possible) that means this is almost certain to be a settings problem. Yup, that is to be expected since the drivers haven't been created with Windows 7 in mind. The important things are: 1. Transponder frequency. Units in MP are kHz, so use 10788000. 2. Symbol rate. According to your info that is 22000. 3. Polarisation. Again, according to you that is [linear] vertical. 4. LNB frequencies ("band"). From your logs it looks like you have gone with the universal setting which is 9750 MHz low band oscillator, 10600 MHz high band oscillator and 11700 MHz switch/oscillator. Are you certain your LNB is a universal? How did you set it up in DVBDream? 5. Inner FEC rate. This should really be set (only possible with 1.2.0b), and the fact that it is not (according to your log file) is possibly the cause of your problems. 6. Modulation. This can be set with 1.2.0b - I'd encourage you to upgrade as 1.2.0b is pretty stable. You should use "not set" (ModNotSet). Tuner drivers are smart enough to figure out what the modulation should be unless it is DVB-S2. Your instincts are very likely to be correct. As I've already said, I'd expect this is a settings problem. ;) As above. Should be modNotSet. We use QPSK to indicate non backward compatible (NBC) DVB-S2 QPSK in some circumstances, so using modQPSK could mess things up. This is extreme dedication - diving into the code a couple of days after starting to use MP. I take my hat off to you! :D Just to fill you in: ONID: original network ID, a channel parameter not a tuning parameter TSID: transport stream ID, a channel parameter not a tuning parameter SID: service ID, a channel parameter not a tuning parameter PMT: programme map table ID, a channel parameter not a tuning parameter FTA: free-to-air, encrypted or not... LCN: logical channel number, the number that you associate with a channel DisEqc: switching protocol setting, for when you can access multiple satellites with one tuner band: LNB setting Pilot: DVB-S2 tuning parameter RollOff: DVB-S2 tuning parameter After all that I would have had enough too! I'd be happy to help you if you can: - tell me what satellite you're trying to get signal from - post full logs (link to instructions in my signature) mm [/QUOTE]
