Hello all.
I live in Wanganui NZ and have recently moved house. Unfortunately, I have moved into an area with next to no VHF reception but good UHF. (My sister lives near by and gets very good Prime.)
So I thought I'd buy a NOVA T 500 and take advantage of the HD capability and have up till now done the following....
1. Purchased a new Nova T 500.
2. Purchased a new 91 Element UHF Aerial.
3. Purchased 6 meters of new 75ohm RG6 cable.
4. Connected everything up as you would expect. (Aerial to Cable, Cable to Nova T 500)
5. Mounted the Aerial on the roof and pointed it in approximately the same direction as most of the neighbours.
6. Installed the drivers from the CD supplied. ( Via device manaber )
7. Added the card to the GBPVR.
8. I had a lot of problems finding channels so in my problem diag, found and downloaded ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe
9. It didn't really seem to matter what I did, it did not find any channels, until out of desperation, I ran the CD and clicked the install drivers which seemed to enable channels to be found. Humm?
I now can find all the channels you would expect. (tv1,tv2,tv3,tvnz6,tvnz7 etc)
But I'm left with a couple of problems and a question.
Problem 1.
When I record TV3, (the resolution is huge) I get very bad jitter. Whole frames seems to be missed.
Which leads me to my question: When using ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe, I get a quality of %100 but a strength of -13000. What the hell is strength? What should strength be at?
Problem 2.
How do I play back my TS files on my MVP?
Details:
My GBPVR version is 1.3.11
No Plugins installed
Thanks in advance,
Dave
