skystar2 no signal

[dolphyn]

Hi admin, hi everyone,

I have try your softwareProgDVB but not working.
problem: i have no signal at all.
pc: i have a P4. enough DDR memory. XP pro with pack 2.
i have skystar2 installed with latest drivers.
i have dish that works in my stand alone receiver. hotbird+astra.
i plugged only hotbird cable to my card. so no DISEcQ.

Here what i've done:
I tried to setup both. progDVB and setup4pc. setup4pc is red. no signal.
i tried to scan channels but no channel at all (wich is normal coz no signal)

Here are printscreens of my settings.
please help me coz its so exciting to have a dish+pc sat card and very frustrating not being able to use it at all.
(i tried to search in forums and now..im just disasperate..)

Hi dolphyn, welcome to the forum.

You're in Canada, and trying to receive Hotbird and Astra? No chance.

BTW, Pic3, ProgDVB LNB settings for LOF1 should be 9750.

oups! sorry i forgot to mention that im right now based in tunisia! and yes im canadian
as mentioned earlier, i already have a dish and can watch hotbird and astra only uncrypted channels on my tv..
Thx for the suggestion. I have changed the settings as u mentioned it.
still not working..:/
im patient..i keep waiting more suggestions

I understand there is not a lot open on Hotbird at the moment

 

[dolphyn]

what do u mean by that...

 

[Llew]

Don't use Setup4pc, just use ProgDVB and as I said, put in your correct LOF1 frequency.

 

[dolphyn]

1.should i uninstall setup4pc or just shutting it down?
2.just LOF1=9750

that's all?

sry for not testing right away before asking...coz cable plugged on tv is pretty far from pc..and i need to move pc near tv to check..wich is not very convenient..:/

but im gonna give a try and be back to forum to let u know.
Thx for helping. I really appreciate!

 

[dolphyn]

ok i done it. no success.
I shutdown my av kaspersky (just in case..)
i shut down setup4pc.

i scanned channels. nothing found.
i scanned transponders. nothing.
no signal.

beats me..dunno what else i could do..:/

Is Your DVB Card waking up, If not then kick start your card. Then i am sure that u can add DISEcQ and later thinks, Progdvb has some problem few times to wake cards, ths why it wont work.

"Is Your DVB Card waking up, If not then kick start your card"
how can i wake up the card?
please explain. im new in this stuff..
thx for answering

 

[dolphyn]

i do not know how to check if my card is waking up or not...

 

[dolphyn]

what can i do guys? any suggestion?
