Compro E700 issues..

fobose · 19 Jun 2008 at 21:45

Firstly, the volume doesn't work. The volume bar moves up and down the screen as it would normally, but it doesn't actually adjust the sound comming out my speakers. What gives? I have the latest drivers and software.

Secondly, using the same cable I used with my old nebula card, it doesn't seem to show the same channels I had before, ITV and channel 4 is missing for a start.

Can anyone help?

I am currently using the latest version of DTV3 (3.0.5.3) as thats the software which was available on the "support" part on compro's website under E700. The "Vista" E700 shows up with the DTV4 - will that work on the non "vista" E700? I have tried the fast and normal speed, I will try the "slow" speed when adverts come on (watching phone booth).

Still no luck with "slow" speed. I have changed the region to UK (and my area to suffolk), I have also tried a few other areas around me too and still cant get channel 4 or ITV.

I have already sent compro a email regarding the volume, but awaiting a reply. Gonna call it a night, cant be bothered to faff with it anymore. :-(

Thanks madmatty. Using the "Vista" E700 DTV4 link as its got Vista 64 support. I have checked windowsupdate but there is no driver update yet. Will post back results once I have faffed with the new software.

Still the same

No channel 4, ITV, ITV2, E4 - all the best ones basically! Not happy

Strangely enough though, when I change the region to UK/suffolk it only takes about 5 seconds or so to actually scan the channels. My nebula would be scanning for literally about 5mins! Am I doing something wrong? I change the "digital TV settings" to UK/suffolk (tried both options) then hit autoscan - is this correct?

Dag namit, I have vista buisness and that does't come with WMC. I dont have nero home either so I can not try that.

I have sent an email to compro to see what they suggest. Its odd because my Nebula gets perfect picture quality on those channels aswell as the big telly with its built in freeview downstaires (they all connect to the same aerial too).

I hope I dont have to RMA the thing and exchange it for something else, I really like the tiny little receiver for the remote. The software is a bit annoying but its nice when having a few other channels open in tiny little windows and such

One thing I did notice on the actual card itself was, all the capacitors were all at a funny angle, but the box had its shrink wrap still intact on it, and my remote has a tiny little scratch at the bottom (didnt bother me though).

I am getting an aerial splitter later on today as well as some more cables so I can plug the nebula and the compro in at the same time (its a real hassle to keep switching cables).

Thanks for your help and I will post back later after I try what you suggest

Just checked the volume issue and it still persists, cant get the volume bar to actually affect my PC's speakers
