    Yes, I agree that looks like the blind scan version. You can tell if you have blind scan just by running the dvbworld software. You can't get to the blindscan feature if you don't have the hardware. To elaborate a bit more, there is only one flavor of the dvbworld software. It drives all the...

    I'm surprised they didn't clear up this mess between the two units. I complained and got $20 refund. I hadn't really intended on using the card system. Rather, I just wanted the blind scan. It might help if you attached a photograph of what your were sent. The new 2104D looks like the old...

    This is a screen capture of the 64bit software doing a screen capture. It ran 30 minutes until I stopped the scan. This is with the 2104D. http://www.lazygranch.com/temp/blind.gif I noticed it left a TS file which I haven't got around to analyzing.

    Does ProgDVB appear to use the hardware in the 2104D? You could do a blind scan with the older version of the 2104. The time with the brute force blind scan depends on how you set up the parameters.

    Googling around, I think the problem may be the 60MHZ stepsize. I have the free version of progdvb, and the step size is a parameter. Of course, software scans are very slow.

    Microsoft has a special nuclear powered uninstaller called msicuu2. I'd get it from MS. [It seems everyone has a copy of it, but obviously getting it from MS is the only trustworthy source.] MS makes it sound like you will be doing great harm to your system to use the program, plus you will lose...

    When you exit the blindscan, part of the procedure is a yes/no dialog box to have the blindscan replace the data already in their database. Because the dish/lnbf isn't like a telescope, there is probably some signal from nearby birds. Since it was a fresh install, I had only scanned one...

    My experience with blindscanning with the 2104D didn't go so well. First, I set it to Galaxy 19. I played a few stations to convince myself things were going OK. I did the first blindscan with the "programs" enabled. I ran it for 15 minutes and it never seemed to finish. I ran it again without...

    Actually it does work. What I get under win7 is the green circle rotating (like the old hourglass) and a "not responding" in the frame. But if you wait longer, the program comes back and indicates the file was updated. Of course, I now have a cryptic message to decipher...

    I phoned Sadoun again. Here is the story on the new 2104D. Gone is card access. There will be or already is a version of the 2104 that uses the C rev chipset that will do CA but not blindscan. The 2104D price has dropped by $20, and they will credit me the difference. DVBWorld uses one box for...

    No intent to run media center. That error message was solved when running as administrator. I had some update really do a number on my desktop. I have to download pdfs before viewing, can't click on Google Earth kmz links, etc. My notebook, also win 7 pro 64 bit, has all the updates, but never...

    Isn't the whole point of hardware blindscan to scan a satellite quickly without the transponder setup? If I wanted Piazza Hut mode, I'd do the blindscan from ProgDVB in software with the 2104C I already own.

    OK, the error message goes away if I run as administrator. Damn this windows security. Unfortunately, my dish is down, so I'll have to set up a portable later to test the blind scan if Sadoun convinces me this is the right unit. I see nothing in the menu indicating a blind scan feature.

    I seem to be the only hit when I search for "DVBPlayer MFC Application". Blindscan itself gets a lot of hits, but I don't see one that is relevant. I do think there is a chance it is a windows issue. Win7 has a ridiculous amount of security settings.

    Since I have the C rev (non-blindscan version), I have a power supply. This meant I could attempt to install it without devirginiting the supply in the so-called D rev. The installtion from CD worked. I got the error message "DVBPlayer MFC Application has stopped working. Media Center Error...

    Run around already started. Sales claims that is the new 2104D. Forwarded to engineering, got voicemail. This should be good. You have to wonder how the card reader can be added since there is no port for it.

    multi-tuner dvb-s2 cards

    Probably usb tuners would be the simplest solution. If you really need tuner cards, one thing to consider is most motherboards these days have a mix of PCI slots. Some regular, some PCIe .You can't get mobos with a lot of the older PCI slots. There are two work arounds. One is to get a PCI bus...

    dvbworld satellite file format

    I guess it depends what file you are reading, but I have a transponder starting at decimal 8290 with text TP17_11977_V_27500. The first null is at decimal 8308. The last null is at decimal 8353. That makes 45 bytes of padding. My guess is the padding may change a bit, but the fields are fixed...
