Twinhan Troubles

I just installed my Twinhan 1020a card, ran the disc that came with it, which installed TwinhanData, but, nothing else.
I tried TSReader and it worked, but, did not give me any thing at all. It showed signal strength and qulaity but, no PIDS or anything. Every other window was blank. The MPEG-2 stats window has all zeros except for Sync Losses and that number keeps getting bigger and bigger.
So, I had some errors during installation so I restored my computer to yesterday and stated over. This time, I downloaded the install package from the Twinhan website. This time, it installed a viewer that allowed me to scan a transponder and watch TV channels.
Now, when I try to run TSReader I get this error: "The source module you selected didn't initialize. The device may be missing or not installed correctly. To change source......" and that's it. Before when I ran it, I had to run TwinhanData first and tune to a transponder, but, then again, I got no data at all from that transponder, as I noted above.
I had Twinhan plugged into the coax all by itself, not using any loop out or any thing like that. Just direct from the motor to port 1 of my DiSEqC switch, and I had that properly checked in the setup.
I was on G 25 11836-V-20765 to do my testing. I had 75% signal and 80% quality. It Twinhan DTV application did not find everything that lyngsat has for that transponder, but, I am pretty sure both of my STB's found everything.
Any hints from anyone?
Thanks.

I would use ProgDVB, AltDVB, DreamDVB and DVBViewer...

Thanks, I've tried some of those.

I found a 2nd disc and that had the files I needed. I've also been using My Theater and TSReader. Everything is working great now.

Yes, MyTheatre is EXCELLENT if you use Diseqc Switches, especially Diseqc 1.1! the next version will feature HDTV too.

This file in the original Twinhan software package is the file that has all of the satellites and transponders to scan. Unfortunately, it is write protected so you can't use the editor in the software. If you want an updated satellite.dll file you can download it from DVBOwners.com. Renrua is the poster of that file. They list Twinhan lists the file on their download but it doesn't download.

I use ProgDVB 5.15.01 with my Twinhan card. It is also available with DVB-S2. I tried the others but had too much trouble.

Don't understand why you are using TSReader. Seems to be confusing your Twinhan issues.
