hi friends,

I am very new to dvb s, just installed pci dvb s2 card "technisat skystar hd2".

facing some problems given beneath.

1. installed software dvbviewer pro, but no channel scan is working. probably hardware not initializing.

2. i have then tried dvbdream but showing me error of hardware initialize error code 12.

currently I am trying to scan transponder and channel of insat 3c http://www.lyngsat.com/in3c.html

my hardware setup is

sat hardware: dvb s2 pci card "technisat skystar hd2", ku band dish 60cm, lnb supports dvb s2, no DisEqc, direct cable from lnb to my pc card.

my location: 21n 72e, western part of india.

Are you sure that you are pointing to the satellite?
Is dish size 60cm large enough for this satellite in your location?
Have you tried using standard receiver to scan the channels with success?

i am 100% sure because I have just pulled out cable from my existing dth provider which you can find here h**p://www.lyngsat.com/in4cr.html and insert in to my new pci card.

In DVBViewer Pro, go to Options - Hardware and rescan the Mantis driver.

DVBDream has known problems with some BDA drivers, try this one -

DVBDream+Skystar HD2 will only work with a customed device file, called "BDA_ALL". There are two files, BDA_ALL.DEV and BDA_ALL.INI, you must put them in the "Devices" folder located in the root folder of your DVBDream installation.

As far as I can see the channels you are trying to receive could be the ones from the "Airtel" package, transmitted exclusively in DVB-S2. So in order to receive them with DVBViewer Pro you must go to Settings>Options>Hardware and make sure that the "Is DVB-S2 device" check button is selected. And finally you should check if your transponders .ini files are up to date.

Skystar HD2 works fine here with the latest drivers and those two programs...
