jimbo2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi. I am new to this program. I just wondered my current set up has a Nokia d-Box, connected to my computer via COM 1. I currently use Hyperterminal, but that only gives me raw data. I want to see this data on the screen properly, rather than in machine code. Do I have to plug my lead that is in the Nokia box into my Sky box? Or what should I do? Also, how do I get the software to read all the stream from Astra 2? Thanks for your help and I look forward to hearing from you. BTW my anti virus software stated that the page I had to click on to register had malicious software on it. When I blocked this it was fine! Very odd. Thanks. James Quote Link to comment

jimbo2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 I mean the program - ie the DVBViewer software - that is a computer program. I thought I owuld have got a btter response than that! :* Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well maybe you should rephrase your question, so it is clear what you are asking. And please be precise. Which DVBViewer software, which version etc. Quote Link to comment
jimbo2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 I have not bought it yet. I wanted to know which device to plug my computer ibnto for it to read the data from Astra 2. I have a Nokia 9500 dbox and a Sky+ Digibox. Which device do I plug my lead from my COM1 socket on my computer into? Sorry for any confusuion. Once I know, I will proceed to buy the software. Thanks again and sorry for any inconvenience. James Quote Link to comment
Tjod Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 For DVBViewer you need a DVB TV tuner card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_tuner_card The DVBViewer has nothing to do with a Set-Top-Box (Nokia 9500 dbox or Sky+ Digibox). Quote Link to comment
dvbrewer Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 For DVBViewer you need a DVB TV tuner card. or a USB tuner (stick or box) . Quote Link to comment
jimbo2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 so do I need a physical piece of hardware added to my computer which is only 16 months old, or do I have the wherewithall to do this already? Quote Link to comment
desweil Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 you need a physical piece of hardware i.e. a TV Tuner Card! Quote Link to comment
Lars_MQ Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 A digital One! No analog input with the DVBViewer. Quote Link to comment
jimbo2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) Not sue but I do not know if I have a video card in my computer. There is an application called NVIDIA but I don't know what this is. Can anyone help? In fact what I want to do is to look at the data streams ie the background data in the same way as Hyperterminal does but in a form I can actually read. I would then be able to see the EPG itself on my computer for example. Any idea as to which progam I would need to display this info correctly? Thanks.

Tjod Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 NVIDIA ist most likely a Graphics card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_cards and not a TV tuner card http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_tuner_card for the DVBViewer you need a DVB-? card http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-S2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-T2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVB-C But if you have not much knowledge about using a computer, you better use a Set-Top-Box. If you are planning to use the DVBViewer you should at least know what a codec is, if you need a CI/CAM if you need a DVB-S or a DVB-C card ..... Quote Link to comment
