Ian, yes the TBS-6903 has been a good choice so far. Also the TBS-6908 which actually is 2 x TBS-6903 on a full height board. But Windows also depends on TBS-IP-Tools or on CrazyCats BDA-DataEx.

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your reply Ernst. I did see your report but as it was headed up 6903X and 6909X under GNU/Linux, it did not appear

Ian, I do not command what TBS should use as card numbers. Your question shows, that you have never read the report I just refered to. What you can easily find out yourself (with Google) is that these

---------------------------------------------------------------- What is the difference between a TBS 6903 and 6903X and why did they not simply give the 6903X a new number and stop all this nonsense

JR, have you checked the card has the modification? If it's brand new it should! If not TBS will replace it. With this last modification the TBS-6903X card works great under GNU/Linux. Read my report

Dear all, Many thanks to all who responded to my help, Ernest, Lobsiger, Graham advised me about the TBS 6903-x failure running with Windows. I spent a lot of work (and time) trying to solve the

Hi I would still give the PSU a try first. Mine did the same, would power up the Ayecka and you could configure it, but just wouldnt lock. I changed the PSU unit and I had an immediate lock again.

Many thanks to you all who responded with useful advice/help. Paul has kindly let me purchase his spare sr1, and it is en-route as I write. The advice about PSU is also useful. The existing PSU seems

Hi JR and Ernst Im sorry Im not !! I Have given up on the 6909X for the time being for the following reasons 1) The first big issue is the neither BDADataEX or TB-IPData run on the Windows Insider

.. and if it does not have the 22uF capacitor modification we have been talking about for months get a TBS replacement

J R, if this really is a TBS-6903X then it has the same Oxford chip and driver as the TBS-6909X. Graham is your man. Ernst

Recently I got a TBS 6903X and a 1,25 m. offset dish with an Inverto Black Ultra (8 meters RG6 Top quality). Using Win7 i7 16gb RAM, BDADataEx version 1.1.4.9. The signal is lock, level 77%, Quality

Douglas, wonderful! Maybe I took it for granted that if you install as an unpriviledged user you will have write access to both EMCtools and EMCdata. And of course you must have read access to your

Ernst just to report that I have now solved the issues I was having with the new Starter Kit and as I expected it was related to my own set-up. Won't bore you with the details but it was down to a

Bernard, I too had a a sudden 'no lock' situation with my SR1 last autumn which had run 24/7 for a good many years. The problem was indeed the power supply - I was then on my second PS. I replaced

Hi, I have a spare SR1 which I would be interested in selling. I have two, but currently unable to use both of them, therefore if you wish to message me at paul.j.blight@..., if you would be

Hi, I think a new power supply unit may be the answer. However i have a SR1 and recently (after being recommended on here) i purchased the tbs6903 pciE card, and once set up, this works brilliantly.

Hi A new power supply worked for my SR1 as well. Philip

Often the solution has been cheaper - a new power supply unit. Perhaps this might be your case? Cheers, James.

It seems that my SR! that has been in continuous use for a number of years has bitten the dust. I had an 'Out of Lock' message on my satellite PC, and on checking the dish, found corrosion had warped
