Hey guys,
Finally got my dvb-c card, and cables and junk, plugged it all in, splitter in the main box outside and then straight into the back of the PC. Ive got both of the programs DVBDream and ProgDVB working with the card, but cannot for the life of me get a signal and some channels :/ Is there something Im doing wrong? I followed both guides in the FTA and installed the new all.list file etc and still no channels :/ no signal :/ Can anyone lend me a hand please? Let me know if theres a setting I need to to tweak to get it to search. Thank you so much in advance guys |

No luck, this is driving me crazy!!!! Is there anybody out there who can help please? Im losing my mind, would I need a splitter if the cable is coming directly from another splitter at the box outside? also is there anyway to get a signal booster or anything?
Thanks in advance guys |

I installed the driver and I already had the latest directx and still no signal.. think it might be the splitter? everything else seems to be working fine with it :/
Thanks in advance |

Right let me try and explain how ive hooked this all up the best I can describe for you..
The box outside connects both our living room and a port that was deactivated upstairs. So in order to reactivate the port ive added a splitter to the wire which has activated the port upstairs. From the port upstairs i have led a wire directly from that into the back of my computer. Ive tested this on a box and it looked like it tuned into a channel so i assume the port works. However when I plug it into my computer whatever the program I get no visible signal. Would putting a splitter on the end of the wire before I put it into my computer be a good idea? Would it increase the signal at all? If not is there a booster I can buy? I appreciate your patience and help in the matter Willin your a life saver mate
