It seems i've got it working with that except the switch was 12750 ( i think thats what i got from another thread here). However It seems fine. Yet my signal strength is very low. I'll try those new settings and report back. Any idea how to get the hauppauge remote to work? i've tried everything :s
Sounds like your dish might be misaligned. Is it used for anything else or has it been that you know of? Also what size is it?
Media centre PC - Case Silverstone LC16M with 2 X 80mm AcoustiFan DustPROOF, MOBO Gigabyte MA785GT-UD3H, CPU AMD X2 240 under volted, RAM 4 Gig DDR3 1033, HDD 120Gig System/512Gig data, Tuners 2 X Hauppauge HVR-3000, 1 X HVR-2200, Video Palit GT 220, Sound Realtek 886A HD (onboard), Optical LiteOn DH-401S Blue-ray using TotalMedia Theatre Power Corsair VX Series, 450W ATX PSU OS Windows 7 x64
When i first got my HVR3000, i did attempt to configure it with the bundled software. I also had serious problems and eventually decided it was not worth using.
I had been using MediaPortal for a movie player so i just configured MP to use the card and that was relatively straight forward to configure the card and the remote. I have since moved onto Win7MC and that is even better.
I think you will find in 9 out of 10 cases the bundled software is only good for the drivers.

GF74 - Your pc specs seem quite low to run win7? how does it run?
Any way back to topic - have you tried GB-PVR? its free htpc software just google it, or alternatively Mediaportal (also free - that's what i use but it can be quite a handful to setup properly, but worth the time)
Considering what i am running it seems to do ok. It can be a little slow to respond to some requests and xvid/divx movies can occasionally go out of sync, but for music, watching/recording tv it works great and Win7MC is incredibly stable. I used to have problems if i left MP watching a TV channel, but Win7 just keeps on trucking.
Of course I am watching DVB-S, as i cannot get DVB-T signal in my area.
I've downloaded media portal. However i cannot for the life of me manage to get it to work. Are there any tutorials for the latest version that is out?
