[QUOTE="rilo, post: 578360, member: 311045"] Hi everyone, I am new to the latest "digital format" of this hobby, and could ask some very stupid questions. (have tinkered with analog since 1983 with a 6m mesh dish on C band, since destroyed - now have 70cm + 90cm + 1.5m Ku fixed to different directions & 1.8m Andrews + 2 each 2m & 2.4m fibreglass uninstalled) I just bought a "very cheap" card, same as most prominent on E-bay under description : "DVB-S Satellite TVTuner Video Capture PCI Card with remote Control" but for quite a bit less overall, only US$ 27.17 with free delivery worldwide, which I am expecting over the next week. Anyone has any idea what it is for settings in ProgDVB etc. Plan to use it on various satellites spanning from NSS-10 @38 W down to beyond Panamsat 7+10 @68.5E from my African location South of the equator. My luck with this recently started experimentation with digital satellite tv reception ran out when my Broadlogic / V@Box ABA2030 which had been used since around 2003 for internet data off Pas7 @ 68.5E ceased to function with message "data cable unplugged", and replaced with an even older data only HARMONIC card which had been used on the same service previously. Also expecting delivery of a box for laptop, just bought on E-bay, and described as "USB Digital DVB-S Satellite TV Tuner Box PVR DVR", and eyeing the "Twinhan VisionPlus 1020A DVB-S PCI Card" on a current bid. Advice highly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
