[QUOTE="rich110, post: 205822, member: 13795"] Hi mcraenz, Not to sound too impressionable, but it's actually no surprise that our systems look very similar... since I'm fairly new to DVB-S setups I basically modeled my current system on yours after reading your guides :) (back in Oz I had the luxury of full DVB-T coverage) The more I've thought about this problem since my post yesterday the more I think it is a problem with the CAM module. There are a couple of possibilities: 1. The ribbon cable that came with the Technotrend/CAM module was too short so I replaced it with a longer SCSI cable of the same specifications (50-way ribbon cable) - this may not be arranged exactly the same so I'll have to check. 2. The CAM module may be incompatible (but as you mentioned this seems to be a long shot). A couple of questions... When you install the CAM module, is it recognised separately to the actual DVB-S by Windows or MP? Or is it considered to be part of the S-1500 card. What I mean is does it appear as it's own item in Device Manager? Related to this, if I install the S-1500 (and drivers) first THEN attached the CAM module later, do I get asked for drivers again for the CAM module or is it simply considered part of the original card install? Hope this isn't too confusing... just trying to work out if the CAM installation is the problem and how it should behave when attached correctly. WRT what you were asking, I have tried the TV-Server before but had continual problems with stability and issues with the DVB-S cards not working when the system came out of standby - which is why I went back to TV Engine v2.... but you're right, I may need to revisit it to get this working. WRT the pseudo-DVB-T setup, I was going to try and use a 22MHz switch unit rather than a Diseqc unit to switch between LNB's... do you think configuring the S-1500 as a DVB-T card might still help with this problem? I did notice the TT_MCE_Toolkit on the TT website so I might just try and install it and have a play (if for nothing else other than to see whether my CAM module is working properly). Thanks for the initial help... I'll keep you posted. Cheers Rich [/QUOTE]
