DVBdream setup guide

c/p thanks to the man one.

1. get & install the latest drivers for your dvb card

2. get & install the latest dvbdream (at this time its 1.4i) dont launch yet

3. decide which emulater u will use (emunation or v-plug) then extract it & install v-plug or just place the files for emunation in C:/dvbdream/plugins/pip00 & any other pip's (picture in picture) u may be using.... i think it supports up to 19 all of which u can watch & record at the same time (if ur pc is good enough) they have to be off the same transponder

4. install microsoft visual c++2005 sp1 redistributable package (x86).url (comes with emunation)

5. open C:/dvbdream & drag & drop pcthreadVC2.dll (comes with emunation) file to that folder


6. get & install whatever codecs (k-lite codec packs & others are available) u wish to use (i use elecard for pip & cyberlink for watching, ac3audio, & video renderer9) different codecs play quite differently (some may not play at all)... elecard is not as good of pic but supports PIP playing, cyberlink is a very good pic but no PIP support


7. open dvbdream.... first screen pick ur card... next screen pick ur switch & set ur sats, settings should be LOF settings LNB type ku universal, lof1 9750000, lof sw 11700000, lof2 11250000 rest leave default settings on this screen (this is for legacy or dave LNB settings), click on port 1 & add satellite set it for 119 (drop down screen), port 2 set it for 110 (d!sh net setup) hit ok... next screen set record format to mpg & put a check in customize settings for North America, fill out user name if u wish & hit ok... next screen leave default & hit ok... next screen set ur codecs (cyberlink or elecard, ac3filter, video mixing renderer9, sound card name, coreAVC H.264, these are my settings currently) hit ok... this opens dvbdream... after a pause (30 to 45 seconds) a button will appear in the bottem right hand corner of dvbdream saying scan it will flash, hit it..... scan each sat that u have... let keys roll & watch tv on ur pc
