I have Satellite, do I need to get a DVB-S card? I am having so much trouble trying to decide on what T.V. Card to get.

Help Me..............

Satellite Card?

:confused: Yeah, but can't I just get a regular T.V. Card, or does it HAVE TO be a Satellite Card?

    If you are willing to sacrifice quality, then STB -> analogue TV-card (pref. HW-based) is an option. You do "need" MCE-remote w/blasters (or eq.) to change channel (and of course a STB).

    If you know you can get it to work, you should, however, consider getting a DVB-S card.

    I regret to say that MP no longer has an expert in EPG transmission formats, so unless the change is trivial, this may not be fixed for some considerable time. One workaround would be to use "Schedules Direct". It is a paid service (around 30 US dollars per year), and they do provide EPG info for New Zealand. Schedules Direct...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    The reason I was thinking I needed more RAM is that TV now seems to be HiDef and so the files have grown. I edit the files before storing them, to reduce some size. It is finding that slower, I think. Or it could just be because I'm expecting more? The Baseboard manufacturer says ASUSTech Computer Inc; Baseboard product P7P55D-E...

    I currently have two Quatros running, one connect, one duo using OTA antennae, mostly UHF fringe area, mostly cat5 local network. Hauppauge card retired long ago. I have also retired very early SD units, the Quatros seem to work much better than the older units. Go to SD's support website and download and install the windows...

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N. Again, if anyone knows how to do this, would be much...
