Re: Technisat DVB
Roland Fechter
Thank you for your kind suggestions, David !
I have managed to get installed the S2 configuration. S1 will be gone soon, so why bother with the S config. When checking status via Putty link with S2 data is shown. It also says "choice timeout" Is this the reason for my problem ? If so, how to overcome it ? All lan settings etc have been doublechecked by me. Yet, still no visible data via the SR1, although during daytime I got abt. 100-150 blocks per minute. Red T sometimes improving to yellow. Firewalls checked, too. So antivirus. It seems to be a "case" for a teamviewer friend, I think. A true challenge - anyone volunteering ? Otherwise there will be soon a cheap SR 1 on Ebay. I myself most certainly am getting fed up with the "so easy" installation eating my sleep for nothing ! I look forward to your further assistance. Regards, Roland

<MSG-1@yahoogroups.com> Datum: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 18:48:47 -0000 (use WXtrack ofFor the initial first orientation, I've found that using Google Maps' satellite view can be very helpful. Get the correct bearing for the satellite and point from your antenna's position in that direction. Find an object on the line that you can easily identify from the antenna's mounting point. Sometimes, it is easier to use a 90° angle, derived from the satellite's bearing. You can adjust the outer borderline of your dish to that auxiliary fix point. Of course, this is not the best technique if the dish is mounted where no one can firmly stand. As a last step, always optimize the LNB's skew angle. That will work wonders on youd dB reading.

Re: BDAData
Peter Stein
Dear Mike,
thanks for the response and I did know that BDAD was primarily written for USB devices it was just that I thought nothing ventured etc. BDAD recognised the 6925 and after a few jiggles with the setup boxes data appeared to flow but to nowhere ! David has given a few suggestions so I will have a play later on during the week as other tasks require my attention. If it works I will post the details Pete

Re: BDAData

Hi,
thanks David I will try the newer version and make sure that the Tellicast .ini is configured as you suggest. I have read that BDAD software seems to handle the data better and with less dropouts. Just wanted to prove it for myself. The amount of 'good' images that come through outweighs the dropouts be we are never satisfied. Pete

Re: TBS 5925 experience
Michele,
sure with 80 dish and lnb 0.7 you can not find the transponder. considers that with all that I've done (it would be better still a dish from 120 to 140 but is too expensive in Italy relatively to 100 cm. and on the roof, I'm afraid for the wind) the signal is just enough, we do not have to sell ... for the antenna installer, if you can do it yourself you do not spend, but I assure you that with the professional tool is a job fast and accurate. if you want to write me directly please do not hesitate. ciao orlando ================================= With a good LNB, and a 71 cm dish, we were able to get 10.9 dB Es/No from a carefully aligned system located near Guildford in southern England. Looking at the footprint on the EUMETSAT page: http://www.eumetsat.int/website/wcm/idc/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=IMG_EUTELSAT_10A_KU_BAND_COVER&RevisionSelectionMethod=LatestReleased&Rendition=Web suggests that the signal in Italy should be similar to that in Guildford, so an 80 cm dish with a good LNB should pick up the DVB-S2 service. It does require very careful alignment, as the difference between the present 9A service and the new 10A service is about one degree (use WXtrack of your favourite site to compare the pointing directions from your own location). Very careful adjustment is required, and that includes rotating the LNB for best Es/No and, if you can, adjusting the focus as well. Start with the DVB-S service, and move the dish very gradually, perhaps looking with your DVB-S receiver for a strong DVB-S signal coming from 10A. There have been a number of suggestions on the group already about which service to try. Admittedly easier when the dish is on a stand in the garden, than when it is on the roof!

Re: Frustration, to be shared :/
Good news, bad news.
sounds to me you have a Hard Drive FailureMike, you seem to have visionary diagnostic skills... :) After unplugging the SATA controller, Windows restarted correctly. So, the source of the problem could already be circled. Just strange that the Acronis recovery program ran on this same controller. To be found out. Yes, DR-DOS is not windows. I'll check the SATA drives extacorporally on a different system for irregularities. The bad news is that I acted too fast when attempting to recover drive C: and obviously overwrote a functioning, pretty up to date system with a buggy backup. Good news: Although the dexatek-usb-dvb-receiver drivers were purged in that chaotic action, the Technisat board still works. Just can't fill the SATA disks at this time, but... The Tellicast icon turned immediately to it's preferred pink state when I plugged in the LNB's output to the Technisat board. Watching the graphics was prevented by the blocking of the java runtime plugin, though. And I haven't figured out where to get it, just warning signs where it is supposed to be. My Eumetcast CD is pretty aged too, from the first days of the service. Is it recommendable to look for an update? I can't remember to have read about it here, but then, my reading habits have changed a bit too due to other topics. Cheers, U. ====================================== Ulrich, The current EUMETSAT client CD is version 5.8, but the TelliCast is still 2.4.4a. There is information on the Java security issue here. It is ameliorated in next year's TelliCast 2.12.1 client. http://www.satsignal.eu/wxsat/Ayecka/java-security.html Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software written to your requirements Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk

Re: Correct requirements
Hi Folks,
I ordered the AYECKA SR1 and I'm waiting for me to arrive. I currently use 60 cm dish with two LNB which one is connected to the EUROBIRD 9 and the other is connected to HOTBIRD 13. I want to know what size should be the dish in order to receive both satellites without problems. Also please the cable to use will be OK if it is the same as the televisions one or I need special cable? I would also like to know if there is a block with 2 LNB and 2 outputs in order to have the same configuration as before. Any help will be really appreciated 73's de Enzo IK8OZV ============================================= Enzo, I can only answer one of your questions: good quality satellite TV cable will be fine. 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software written to your requirements Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk

Re: BDAData
Hi,
[] I would like to try BDAData but I am having difficulty in getting the Tellicast client to recognise the data flow can anyone give me any tips on what to do ? Pete ================================ Pete, Make sure that the IP address of the card is correct, and that the interface_address in the TelliCast recv.ini is set to 0.0.0.0. Getting the virtual card IP address can be frustrating. Note any warnings from the BDADataEx software about IP address. It may be set to 10.100.10.10, and you may need to set the card to have DHCP enabled. There is a newer version of BDADataEx than you are using - possibly here: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://crazycatlab.sat-fishers.com/bdadataex.html&prev=search Cheers, David -- SatSignal Software - Quality software written to your requirements Web: http://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk

Re: TBS 5925 experience

Hi Orlando, thanks for your reply. I live in Rome and the snow is very rare here :) Do you advise me to call an antenna installer? The doubt about the box was born when I saw that the strength of the signal (56%) doesn't change even if I move the dish (80 cm). My LNB is a universal LNB with a noise figure of 0.7 dB.

Re: BDAData
stevens312
Pete, the BDADataEx is really only for the TBS-5925 USB Box, but others have tried it with some units, I suggest you go to the TBS Website at tbsdtv.com/downloads and get the latest software and make sure you install all files in the Drivers File inc the dpinst file for which ever system you run ie 32/64bit, also on W7 dont forget the Firewall Adjustments and even maybe the Command Line, hope that helps.

Re: TBS 5925 experience

Hi Ian, you are right: it is not a card but a box :) At this point I don't know what the problem is. I installed the 2.0.0.4 tbs drivers and the BDADataEx v.20141107 on a Win XP PC. The BDADataEx sw showed me a signal strength of about 56% with quality 0% (I have a strength of about 47% and a quality of about 70% with the DVB S card). I tried to move the dish but nothing changed. Any suggestion?

Nowadays I receive the Eumetcast data with DVB S skystar card without any problem. The PC works on XP. Last week I bought a TBS 5925 card and I tried with a colleague to configure it. The result was very frustrating because we were unable to setup it neither with the TBS IP tool nor with the BDADataEx. Both the applications show a signal strength of about 56% which doesn't change even if I move the dish from east to west. At the end I decided to buy the SR1 card and try a reimbursement for the TBS ones. I share this, hoping that no one has to make my mistake. Moreover I'd like to ask you if there are any known problems with the SR1 card and if it is possible to use it with the USB port. Regards Michele de Rosa
