| 664612 | 2008-05-01 20:33:00 | I've got two in my TV Server running on MediaPortal. Works great :thumbs: This MediaPortal, does it come bundled with the card, or is it a programme that needs to be purchased separately? I see the card comes with a CD, but is there anything on the CD to run the card or is the CD just Drivers & Manual etc? As you can see this is going to be a challenge for me. :D |

As you can see this is going to be a challenge for me. :D MediaPortal (www.team-mediaportal.com/) is a free media centre program that allows you to watch TV, pause live TV, play your music collection etc. Can't remeber what came on the CD with the cards, other than the drivers. I think it has a program called WinTV which is a basic program to allow you to use the Nova-S card. |

| 664615 | 2008-05-01 23:44:00 | B.M. there are a few threads on MediaPortal's forum specific to New Zealand and a very helpful bunch of people on there. The software that Hauppauge supply to some cards PowerCinema does work in NZ now but it takes a few patches and tweaks to make it work. Hauppage.co.uk forum for that one. Also a few threads relating to NZ on geekzone.co.nz forums |

| 664616 | 2008-05-08 01:10:00 | I wound up buying a Hauppauge HVR 3000 in the end and whilst it and WinTV seemed to install correctly I can’t find any channels . I bought a new aerial and set it in the right direction, fine tuned it with one of Dick Smiths Satellite finders, but when I set it to scan, nothing . The LNB is a Hills LO 11 . 30Gh . I have set WinTV to 1600 Optus D1 (160 . 0E) I have downloaded a patch SatelliteFix . exe for NZ . (From Hauppauge) Still nothing found on Scan . However, looking under advanced at the LNB settings I note the low Osc is set to 9750000KHz the High Osc is set to 10600000KHz and the LNB Switch to 11700000KHz . The DiSEqC Support is set to Simple . None of this makes any sense to me so I’m wondering if anybody can confirm the settings are correct or have any idea what the problem is . :thanks in advance |

If you have an 11 . 30 LNB then set your High and low to 11300000 and switch should be 0 . |
