but not NIT.
Well, I cannot trust it. Also, the developers of a rival DVB viewer do not encourage relying on network scanning, for the reasons I've described.

In a day or so, I may do a couple of scanning tests with ProgDVB and post any examples I find of scanning issues. If I do, I don't expect ...

"If I relied on network scanning I would be missing quite a lot of available channels."

Why? Network can _ONLY ADD_ new channels. You not lost no one channel with this options.
As I said, it sometimes scans in wrong transponder details. ie if I didn't check and notice that, I would be missing ...

Thanks for these further replies. I appreciate that English is probably not you guys' preferred language, making conversations such as this somewhat difficult.

Prog, the problem for me, as I tried to explain, is that the network scanning cannot be trusted. It sometimes scans in wrong transponder ...

1. Transponder list used in scanner and scan transponder dialog.
ok, so am I understanding the following 2 points correctly? :

1) 'Channel List' > 'Channel Search' > 'All' or individual satellites
=
uses all.list and always uses network scanning.

2) 'Channel List' > 'Scan Transponder'
=
uses ...

Hello again Prog,

I can't really answer you any more clearly than I did above.
The ProgDVB usage of enforced network scanning is a hinderance for me, not an aid.

I would still appreciate a full and descriptive answer to question 1), whether from you or somebody else knowledgeable.

Thank you,
Lee

Hello Prog,
Merry Christmas, if you enjoy this time of year. I personally ignore the whole period, but I know many people enjoy it.
:)

1. In scanner.
Do you mean when only scanning an individual transponder in Channel List, Scan Transponder?
ie, not when scanning a whole satellite or All?


Why ...

Hello,

I'm trying the latest ProgDVB (professional paid-for version) after not using it for a while.
I have a couple of questions; they are loosely related. One of them includes an old issue.

1) I have gone into Settings, TV Sources, and edited/added/deleted transponders for my satellites.
In ...

Hello Prog,

I'm sorry but I don't really understand what you mean.

Basically, I haven't yet found a way to keep the automatic gain control turned on, between one run of ProgDVB and the next.

Lee

Is it just me who first always hits 'new topic' instead of 'post reply' ? !

I wanted to add, yes, I also find the automatic gain control setting is not retained from one run of ProgDVB to the next.
I assume it is only known to work with some specific setups?

Lee

ok, thanks for letting me know. (or clarifying; I assume it's documented somewhere if I looked properly)

Hello again,

Is there a way to do a full scan without using NIT? I've turned off what might be the relevant setting(s) but still my scans detect new transponders.

Presumably this shouldn't happen, because I am first using the transponder list program from fastsatfinder.com to load up to date ...

Thanks Juergen.

I've just come back to ask ...

Is there any clear evidence or firm knowledge that any of the following USB cards work properly with ProgDVB on Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit?
I could obviously search and take a guess, but I want to be sure if I decide to buy another card ...

Thanks Juergen,

The power pack is quite small and light.

Well, I've now tried ProgDVB, Media Portal and (bought) DVBViewer. None of them properly drive my DiSEqC.
WinTV however continues to work fine.

I can only assume this device doesn't have the mystical 'BDA compatibility'.
I'm waiting for the ...

Thanks again Juergen. You clearly know your stuff!

The power supply supplied is officially stated on the site as :
"Wall plug power supply (7.5V, 1.5A)."
and what I actually have seems to match that on the label :

POWER SUPPLY
MODEL: CGS-0751500
INPUT: 100-240V AC
50/60 Hz
OUTPUT: 7.5V DC 1.5A

Thanks again Juergen,
Your advice is much appreciated.

I have indeed learned that any loopthrough potentially screws up any chance of getting it working! (Hopefully I won't have to use my method which relies on loopthrough and my other receiver)

What do you mean by 'hotplugging' ? I assume you ...
