EPG, IR Remote, and Locking up problems
Posted: Sat May 10, 2008 5:50 pm
I am new to the sattelites on pc's stuff. I purchased the SkyStar 2 USB, installed the hardware appropriately, installed Server4PC
and DVBViewer by the provided CDROM. The version of Server4PC is 4.4.3. I can watch FTA channels adequately with DVBViewer. I read
on some forums that ProgDVB is a good viewer, so I downloaded it, version 5.14.04. I live in Kuwait and my home FTA reciever works
with the current sattelite hardware and setup. It picks up Hotbird 6/7A/8 and Niles 101/102 sattelites. I have over 1,000 channels
with this FTA Reciver. In ProgDVB, I have under the Channel Search, Hotbird 6/7A/8 and Niles 101/102. I am also on Vista.
I am having some problems with getting ProgDVB to work properly, that I was hoping you could help with:
1. I have an IR remote with Skystar 2 USB but I cannot figure out how to make it work with ProgDVB. It works fine with DVBViewer. I
have the SkyStar IR running on my pc. What do I need to do?
3. My EPG's for the channels I have checked only show for an hour ahead. How can I get more information in the ProgDVB EPG?
4. It continues to crash periodicyally. It does it everytime that I try to play a show I recorded, but otherwise it is periodically
when I choose channels. I can "flip" through the channels and then suddenly it will stop responding. I have to cancel the process
and start it over.
I appreciate your help in advance on the above frustrations.
