I know it likes Windows 2000, and Windows XP...
It might not be happy with 95/98.

I think you are using the wrong kind of cable.
A null modem cable won't work.
You need a straight through cable.
Or a regular cable with a gender changer (not a null adapter).

I would really recommend testing you cable using the channel editor program to download (upload) channel data FROM the receiver, rather than starting with software uploads, because you can't hurt anything taking data FROM the receiver, and it will show whether your cable is functional.
Unfortuately, the editor program is a bit flakey with Win98, although it does work.

I am interested in testing your SatConrol SM3D12 DiSEqC HH Motor.

I have already learned a lot about FTAs by testing them. Now I am interested in learning about the testing of Twinhan Starbox I which I just got. I would like to know if there is anyone testing this little box with a laptop and would not mind giving me a few pointers.

Thanks

The first advise I'd give is to try using some other software besides that which comes with the Starbox. It is good for HD, once you learn how to do things, but I think you'll find other software easier to use, while learning.

I'd like to ask a favor, however. Could you tell me what the power module for the Starbox looks like? Ie what is written on it? Ie brand, voltage, polarity?
The Starbox itself doesn't say what is required, and I've somehow misplaced the darn power module. I have about 30 or so of these wall wart things, and can't figure out which one goes with the Starbox.

I haven't used the Starbox for about 9 months, but recently came up with a potential use, and would like to hook it up again. What I remember about it though, when I was using it, is that it is the least sensitive of all the receivers I have. Ie you need a pretty strong signal for it to work. The software that comes with it though is not very user friendly. I ended up getting MyTheatre and ProgDVB, both of which were better, but I can't remember which one I preferred. I was REALLY hoping that Rod would make a source for this receiver for TSREADER, as that is the program I use most of the time for my other Twinhan receiver and my Broadlogic, however apparently this is not going to happen.

Hi Bill:
I have sent you the information you requested concerning the power supply for the Starbox to you email.

Thanks
