Appreciate the responses, There are a series of test weather data transmissions being run on amc-3 (I believe the frequency is 11707 or 11716 MHZ). I do believe the Broadlogic board is working now. The reason I wanted to use the DirecTV signal was that I am a subscriber to it and thought the signal might be usable to verify that the card works. Last weekend I did connect the LNB output to the Broadlogic card and I saw a 78% signal level but the ProgBVD software came up with an error message and did not launch properly. I suspect it's because it needs an unencoded signal to lock to. I was a bit impatient to test the card without the correct satellite signal, not having installed the new dish and linear LNB yet.

I don't have one of the cards but I can tell you that the Diect TV signal can't be used to test the card. It isn't a DVB compliant signal. It was developed before the DVB standards were developed. Hughes based their system on the CLI "Magnitude" line of encoders with some special programming for the conditional access. > > Also, the DBS signals aren't in the same frequency band as the C and KU band satellites. > > I'm wondering what signal you are trying to get. According to Lyngsat.com there is no NOAA feed listed. I also can't find any NOAA signal listed on their web site. Whatever signal you want, the important part is that it is necessary to have to have the right satellite, polarity, frequency, symbol rate and all the rest to decode your signal. Just being a little off any of these parameters will get you a blank screen. > > John > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: wa1vta01452 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Saturday, August 5, 2006 9:41:56 AM > Subject: [TVRO] Broadlogic DVB > > Hi, > > I just purchased a Broadlogic 2030 DVB card.
