Anyone how do you set up a DVB card

Found this while trolling the Internet, hopefully it will get you going in the right direction:

Hopefully this will save some of you a lot of time and frustration.

My setup:

Twinhan VisionPlus 1020 DVB-S pci
Windows XP Sp2
AMD 64 3500+
1 GB Ram
Pre-existing Bev 18" Dish

Most posts I came across suggested using MT(MyTheatre) or ProgDVB and provided rather complex instructions on installing wrappers and sundry plugins.

I'll be honest, while those two programs may have their strengths, I had nothing but problems with them. I finally had success with DVBDream/Emunation/Keyutils.

Steps:
1. Install your Twinhan as recommended in the manual with the software CD.

2. Download DVBDream (dvbdreamsetup_v1.4i.rar).

3. Extract and install but do not run. Make sure to run the ddreg.bat in the \dvbdream folder.

4. Download and install VC++ package from Microsoft. This is necessary for Emunation to function. Check the emunation zip file for link to the version of VC++ that you need.

5. Once that's installed, download Emunation (emunation 3.0.4.13. or latest version) to your desktop and extract it.

6. Right-click on the DVBDream shortcut on your Desktop and select properties. From the window that pops up, click "Find Target". This will open the containing folder for DVBDream.

7. Open the emunation 3.0.4.0 folder. There should be a folder named "Plugins", an internet shortcut to VC++ and a .dll named "pthreadVC2.dll". Copy this last file and paste it into the "C:\\dvbdream\" folder.

8. While still in the dvbdream folder double-click the Plugins folder. You find there a few files and 19 pip folders. Double click on folder "pip00". This is where we need to install the emunation plugin.

9. From the emunation folder, double-click the "Plugins" folder. Press ctrl+a to select all, ctrl+c to copy. Paste these in the pip00 folder.

10. From the dvbdream folder, go up on level back into the "Plugins" folder. Double-click "copy_all.bat". This batch file copies the contents of pip00 to all other pip folders.

11. Close all windows and launch dvbdream.

12. From the "Options" menu select "Transponders". From the transponders tab drop down list, select satellite Nimiq1 and click "OK".

13. From the menu select "Channel>Scan" and click the "Scan" button. This will take a while...just let the scan complete (I think it scans 62 transponders).

14. Once the scan is complete, let it sit on a channel for the keys to roll. You should have a full channel listing and assuming I haven't committed any glaring errors, you should be watching tv.

Good luck!

NOTE: Please use the latest versions of DVB Dream and EmuNation as the file versions listed above may be outdated when you read this.
