45.20 question
Hello,
I was forced to use 45.20 drivers to get FS2004 working, but with the 45.20 drivers came some unexpected stuff as well. Namely I use ProgDVB to watch satellite TV and I'm now having just black screen where I used to have picture. When I rapidly switch between full screen and windowed mode, then I can get glimpses of the channel I want to watch. When I then switch from hardware mode (decoding with SkyStar-1 card) to software mode then I can see the channel. But when I switch channel, then the picture is black and I can't get it back no matter what. I have tried different versions of ProgDVB (latest 4.23 is my default) and no help what so ever. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (This behaviour is new as it wasn't there with 43.45, 44.03, 44.67, 44.71, 44.90. Only with 45.20) Mario PS!

My suggestion is to unload the WDM and reload the latest.
Out of curiosity, what satellite company are you using? I would love to find a card that can decode DirecTV . . . anyone know of one? "Mario Kadastik" wrote in message ...

WDM??? http://www.nvidia.com/object/wdm_win...98se_1.22.html The WDM drivers are involved in anything video related . . . like TV (or presumably satellite) tuners. Uninstall from the control panel, reboot and reinstall . . then reboot again. WDM should always be installed AFTER the card driver and BEFORE software that uses WDM. Once WDM is installed, sometimes you get away with a driver update and sometimes not. |

DireectTV and DishNet on the other side in US.. Hahahh Those are the commercial digital direct broadcase satellite companies. If you want to use a big dish instead of a little one then there are far more satellites accessible and no charge. Now, with those "100 different satellites" do you get 100,000 different channels or the same 500 or so repeated 100 times? If the latter then what's the benefit? Well they overlap somewhat (say 10% or so) so you get a lot more channels. I have currently 3 satellite dishes and about 1450 channels. I can't see all of them ofcourse as some are encrypted with software I can't decode, but the list is quite comprehensive so I practically don't watch local channels for anything but local news.
