Channel Dave viewable in Windows Media Centre but not NPVR

[whitters23]

Hi - I've got Windows Media Center and NPVR on my PC running Windows 7 64 Bit which has the Hauppauge DVB-S2 satellite card in it. In WMC after a scan using the 28.2 Astra 2, Eurobird 1, 'Dave' is shown in the listings and is a fully watchable channel - which is a bit odd as i only thought is was available on satellite via an encrypted service on SKY.

In NPVR when I choose ASTRA 2, Eurobird 2 and run a scan on that, Dave isn't shown at all. Any idea what the channel info is for Dave so that it can add it in to the '0282 ASTRA 2, EUROBIRD 1 (28.2E).ini file for NPVR?

thanks in advance

Hi whitters,

I haven't got the chance to do a scan at the moment on my test machine but I am amazed that you got channel Dave through on a DVB-S scan unencrypted.

I don't have WMC so cannot test that. So channel Dave is still coming at you loud and clear via DVB-S and WMC?

I no doubt will stand corrected but I think you hit a fluke there. In 24 hours if it is still there I will run a scan myself

[Edit] Out of interest do you also have a DVB-T card installed on that WMC box? [EndEdit]

cheers
