[QUOTE="fyx, post: 169221, member: 19323"] Ok i see everyone else is flying out questions left right and center so ill put mine out there as well. My status, PC: A64-3000 chip Nforce4 mobo, with geforce6150 intergreated 512mbs ram 250gbs SATA hdd. Windows 2005 MCE Running MP NEW - Skystar 2 DVB-S card. Hes the probrem, for one this setup is located at my olds house (some 600kms away) and i access it via LOGMEIN program (great btw). About a week ago i purchased them the skystar2 dvb-s card as the reception at there house is crap to replace the 150MCE anologe card they had. So i, bear in mind that i am not phyically there, didnt do the install myself etc, but anyway i got them to install the pci card into the pc, booted windows up and all is dected etc. Installed software that came with card, and got them to screw in the sky dish cable. Now they have a standard set-top box that has been picking up some satellite signal and here is where possibly a problem lies, i cannot get any signal through the pci skystar card. Here is the low down, 1, They installed it slightly wrong.... and perhaps the cable is not all the way in, or is it possible that the cable can be grounded on the PC case if the pci card isnt fixed firmly in place?? would this cancell out the signal, 2, my old man/me mucked around with the sat dish orientation at some stage so it is not pointing at D1 anymore, however it is pointing at some sat as there settop box detects picture and information from somewhere (he said it has mainly ethinic channels on it) 3, software? using the drivers from the cd, prob new ones out? shoudl i bother with the setup4PC program? 4, settings i am using? how would i know what sat they have, i.e. 11300 or 10750? aside from looking at number of LNB's. Are there any other types out there? im using the 22500kS/s , Neither Setup4PC or MP dectects anything, is the pci card less sensitive then the settop box? perhaps i need to get him to try and point it at D1 again!. And is there a program that just detects signal strenght (or is setup4pc basically it) with the settop box last time i was there we just rotated the satellite and the strenght adjusted based on orientation, obviously we didnt have to put any settings into the settop box as its configured for NZ. Lastly am i mental and have missed something!, Cheers for any help, [/QUOTE]
