    SmartDVB x64 and vPlug

    When I first moved to Win10, the SmartDVBx64-0.5.3.26 version wouldn't work at all for me. Tried installing again the other day and it's now working fine. Am puzzled however by the use of plugins though; to use trusty old 32-bit vPlug, I understand I need to put it in the mdplugins folder, which...

    Multistream in UK?

    Apologies in advance for my ignorance, but are there any multistream transponders that can be received in the SE UK (am using a 1.2M dish)? If so, what's the procedure for scanning/viewing with AltDVB? Thanks.

    TBS6903 not starting in SmartDVB

    Just put together a new PC (Windows 10) and decided to buy the TBS6903 for it. Unfortunately, after selecting the card, it doesn't start, although SmartDVB then runs fine. I've tried v0.5.3 (x64) and a few previous versions, but get the same result. It works okay on ProgDVB and DVB Dream, but...

    Suggestions for new PCIe card

    My old Skystar 2 eXpress HD PCIe-TV-card appears to be on its way out - it recently seems to be responsible for blue screens and other problems with Win 7. Any suggestions for something more up to date with more features?

    ffdshow/LAV error?

    Decided I'd update my CODECs (using latest K-Lite package), kept same preferences as before, but SmartDVB shows "error connecting smart filter to decoder video input 0x8004022a" message if I select either ffdshow or LAV. Have tried deleting their entries under "Connection" and re-adding them...

    Howdy

    I've been around since the late 80s dabbling with satellite gear. Great to have this site here, by far the best of its kind, AFAIK. Kudos to all the contributors.

    Break up with Skystar HD USB

    I recently changed from my internal Skystar 2 PCI card to the external Skystar HD USB version, but I now find that channels are often breaking up for no reason (i.e. they are good strong signals, often showing 100% quality, it's not because of a weak/borderline signal). This is momentary but...

    Hi

    Recently upgraded my old Skystar 2 card for the HD model. Still using the 1.2M Channel Master dish I installed way back in 1989 :thum:
