[QUOTE="Grahamgo, post: 420847, member: 91783"] Please guy and girls I need some help. Further on this, today I tweaked the dish position and improved the Dish Network (DN) box to signal (S)=95%, Quality (Q)=98% (at the dish). The cable length is about 50' I also installed DVBdream software and was able to tune it to the DN 119deg dish first try. I can view a few FTA channels. There are hundreds of other encrypted channels. The lnb cable is direct to the DVB-S card, there is no DiSEqC or a 22kh.z tone needed. I have a standard circular polarized LNB local Osc=11250mh/z On the DN box S=75% Q=95% On DVBdream S=100% Q=72% So at this stage I know I have a good signal, the Technisat S2 card and BDA drivers are fine. I then tried MediaPortal. It see's the Technisat BDA driver. I tried Autotune DiSEqC=none, Tone=none, Satellite=Echostar 7 (119W).
