MSI MegaSky 580 - Reception problems!

I am having a huge problem with my MEGASky 580 Digital TV Dongle. The problem is i receieve very low reception/signal. The antenna which was provided in the box gave very very little signal so i went and bought an antenna and although the reception is a bit better - it is still unwatchable. Most of the time i get no picture at all - thats how bad the reception is. :(
I have 2 TV's in my house (analogue) - both are operating through indoor rabbit ear antennas and i get 100% picture. I am in a city area so there shouldnt be any problem - but the signal is terrible.
Could there be any interference or what is wrong??
Please help - im out of ideas.
Thank You
This is the antenna i bought: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/446b150901373d442742c0a87f9c065b/Product/View/L4017

although you get good analogue reception, are you in an area that has good digital coverage?
here in the UK, we can buy indoor aerials designed for digital reception; i have one myself, but i still have to use a signal booster as well
digital TV needs a very good signal to work; whereas with a slightly weak signal on analogue TV you can still receive the transmission but with noise and 'snow', a weak digital signal simply won't show anything at all
experiment with trying your indoor aerial in different positions in your room; try putting near to a window pointing towards your nearest DTT transmitter, some types of wall can block certain signals
you might find you need to invest in a good wideband rooftop aerial

Problem With MSI Megasky 580

Bought the MSI Megasky 580 about a week ago to watch tv on my pc, installed it everything seemed to work fine but i press scan channels and it doesnt find a thing, not even one programme, put the antenna in a bout 8 different places in my room and it doesnt even get a weak signal, any ideas?
thanks

I have contacted the msi customer service about this AMD related problem. Their reply was the following:
"We make sure Genesys’s driver is no problem since we have tested countless times of AMD motherboard!! I suspect that your system’s software may be interfered with Genesys driver or OS has been the problem (instable), thus I propose you reinstall OS and don’t install other software first (as long as install north / south bridge chip, graphic card or LAN drivers, and so on), then go to our website to download 5580 latest driver and patch and try again!!
5580 driver link:
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6)
5580 PVR patch link:
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/software/swr/spt_swr_detail.php?UID=624&kind=6)"
I would just like to say that this is a pretty sh**ty product if it requeires a new installation of OS before you can actually use it. And by the way, this was one of the first devices/softwares that I installed to my brand new computer, and it still did not work.
I have no intention of installing all my OS and programs again just because of this piece of hardware. My OS is perfectly stable and everything else works fine. It is just amazing how the programs in my P4 computer does not interfere with mega sky, even though they are exactly the same as in my AMD computer
I think I'm going to give up and toss this mega sky in to a swamp.

Megasky 580 standby problem

After computer wakes up from standby or hibernate I get the blank screen.
Only after I remove megasky from usb port I see the picture on monitor.
I have latest version of software and drivers, all windows update files...
Since I want to use scheduled recordings can you give me some tip or link
to the new version of drivers (if existss).
thanks

I didn't mention it in my previous mail but same problem with wakeup from standby/hibernate

Other applications wake up PC from standby or hibernate without problem on both systems.

Megasky 580 recording problems

I have the usb digital receiver version of the megasky 580 usb which in all respects works fine off my external aerial and I am happy with that. I have no issues with channel search and playback is quite stable. However, when I try to record anything to my disk I frequently get about 25 minutes through the recording then the whole system halts. All I can do is hard reset the pc. Might there be a software conflict that is causing this issue such as AV or wireless network kicking in? the Pc is an AMD 2600+ with half GIG DDR and a 160G ATA that I use for video editing of which there is at least 100G free.
Thanks for any responses

MSI Megasky 580, My remote doesnt Work

Hello there everybody
Im having some trouble working my remote with my megasky 580. It just doesnt seem to work at all, i just bought my megasky 580 last week. It has worked once before when i first got it. Im confused as to what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MY PC Specs are
P4 2.8GHZ intel celeron
768mb DDR ram
200GB hard drive
2 port usb (on board) 4 port (pci card) NB my Megasky 580 is connected to my onboard usb slots

I have a program called StartupMonitor. http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml
It stops unwanted programs from running at startup.
If you have somthing like it, it can be antivirus, anti-adware or a firewall, doing the same thing as StartupMonitor, then that can be the problem.
See if "URemote.exe" and "Monitor.exe" is running.
But try reinstalling all drivers and Presto! PVR.
If you know how to use the registry, then try to edit and add this.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"URemote"="C:\\Program files\\NewSoft\\Presto! PVR\\URemote.exe"
"ChangeFilterMerit"="C:\\Program files\\NewSoft\\Presto! PVR\\ChangeFilterMerit.exe"

MegaSky 580 on Windows X64, Driver?

Hey Peeps,
I've just installed my MSI Megasky 580 onto my notebook and have used the latest drivers as posted on the UK MSI Site. I can't find any mention on the official site or indeed anywhere on the internet.
Does anyone have any information about 64 bit and the megasky 580?
Regards
Adam

there are no 64bit drivers released by MSI for this product
you could try asking on www.planetamd64.com, as most hardware like this is based on an existing design (eg the MSI DigiVOX is recognised by MCE as a Twinhan DVB USB), there may be alternative drivers there you could use

MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC Problems

Hey guys, I just build my second new(er) computer (specs below, system 2), with this MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr 2/OC, and I am having several problems. The first problem I noticed was was in Starcraft 2, I was having major texture stretching (looked like units were stretched across the map, exc.), so I tried a new driver to no avail. I delt with that problem and played for several hours to find that the screen turned black, then recovered (happened several times), which I was able to continue playing after. I went ahead and tried Battlefield Bad Company 2, and noticed the same texture stretching, but with big black shapes (almost looked like large artifacts), so I checked the temps, 74c, so that was not the problem. I continued playing for about 5 minutes before the screen went black, turned white, and the game became unresponsive. Thinking it was a possible PSU problem, I moved the card to my first system (specs below, system 1), and produced the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas, or is it time to RMA the card. Sad thing is, I am seeing alot of people having problems with this card, I hope MSI didn't do me wrong here.... :(
P.s. I flashed the newest BIOS for the VGA and the MoBo.

Quote from: doubleohseven on 12-September-11, 06:45:32
Unfortunately it has, and the artifacting only seems to get worse as time goes on (if the card/game doesn't crash right away that is...). I guess RMA'ing is my only option at this point, thanks for your help.
I'll chock it up to a defective card this time, but seeing all the problems with these similar cards from MSI is making me worried... I only hope MSI didn't do me dirty with this product.
No worries, call msi at +1.626.271.1004 within regular business days and they will take care of it

MSI GTX 580 Lightning XE Fan Problem

Hi forumites
I am the proud owner of a new MSI GTX 580 Lightning XE Graphics card, so far I have not had any problems at all with my games and am happy to report the card appears to be functioning in the way I had hoped (better than my previous card).
However there is one annoying problem I have been having with the fans. For some strange reason the card appears to be spiking fan usage at idle for no reason.
I can be sat idle at desktop, or surfing the internet and for no reason the fan shoots up to 3500RPM.
In order to try and troubleshoot the problem I have done some fan usage monitoring with MSI Afterburner, as you can see here the fan speed seems to shoot straight up and then back down again.
My card has not been modified in anyway , neither have I fiddled with the card's BIOS.
Do you have any suggestions as to what could be causing this problem?
My signature should hopefully contain my system specifications. Card appears to be functioning fine in games and 3dMark and I have not had ANY TDR crashes, just this fan thing is getting quite annoying!
Thanks.
John

Quote from: JohnZS on 29-December-11, 21:02:31
Sorry I must admit I must have not made myself quite clear, it is both fans on the GPU which rev up to very fast speeds for a second or two. I have noticed that this only happens within the first say 10-20minutes of the PC being switched on, it then calms down and acts as normal after a while.
Even loading with Kombuster etc fans rev as expected to a speed to cool the card (~68C FULL LOADING in KOMBUSTER) I am pretty happy that this temperature is what I should be expecting as various reviews say this card is very cool compared to say a Generic 580. I also recall a post of your's Svet somewhere saying that the card loads from 65-70 depending on operation and cooling of case etc.
I shall have to take the side off and inspect the LEDs.

Yes, i confused your case with this one: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155293.0
Where one of the FANs was behavior different than another one, so in my last reply in your topic i was assuming that this was your issue

Is MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II/OC's pcb 100% reference???

So like title says... is msi gtx 580 twin frozr ii/oc 100% reference design???
If yes, will I be able to install aftermarket cooler like Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus with Arctic Cooling (VR004) kit???

MSI 580GTX Lightning XE Problems

I have had my card since before Christmas 2011 and have just started noticing problems. While i was running MSI Kombuster i noticed that at stock speeds that my card is 'GPU Throttling'. i have never noticed this before, but it seems to start happening as soon as Kombuster is started. I there an update i have missed or is this normal?
Thanks
Brett

No it will not, it will void warranty only if you broke something during procedure.
And who's to say I wouldn't accidentally break something? What kind of grease would you put on? I have some Arctic Cooling MX-2 available.

It's not bios problem, i've able to test the same card with the same VBIOS , and there was no any problems.
Also you said it worked fine before
How can it be my card, when 'JohnZS' has the same card, has the same potential problem?
Could it be due to my own personal system?

Is 650W PSU going to handle MSI GTX 580 Lightning Extreme

Greetings,

Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3, Sandy bridge
DDR3 Corsair 2x4GB (1600Mhz)
MSI GTX 560-ti Twin Frozr II 1GB DDR5
PSU: Fortron Black Power 650W
(+3,3V/36A, +5V/30A, +12V1/18A, +12V2/18A, +12V3/18A, +12V4/18A, +5Vsb/3A, -12V/0.8A) - SLI ready, efficiency > 85%
There are divided rails 4x 12V@18A each on my PSU.
is my PSU going to handle MSI GTX 580 Lightning Extreme 3GB DDR5 ?
http://www.amazon.com/MSI-N580GTX-Li...4570127&sr=8-1
as this card has ca 30W more consumption then my current GTX560. I run it overclocked and I see no problems here. (almost on 1000Mhz Core)
As on the sites I've read they tested and they had max 20-30A, so I expect there will be no problem.
Can you guys help me figure it out?
Thank you.

Oks,
625W-155W = 470W , 470W/12V = 39A
The MSI GTX 580 Lightning Extreme needs at least 42A at +12V
I would replace that PSU with better one, [more quality one, not Fortron] and single rail [not a multi rail PSU] ==> PSU's---2 x 12v---The Dual Rail Myth: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=77071.0
with Single rail quality PSU like Corsair 650TX/V2, 750TX, 850TX or above depend of your needs
Ok, I'm going to CORSAIR HX1050, just to be ready for eventually SLI, overcloacking and to not upgrade 3x times :D
.. Thanks

MSI GTX 580 Lightning + Asrock Z68 Pro 3 Issue

Hi!
I just bought a new computer with gtx 580 lightning and asrock z68 pro 3 motherboard. I am having issues with the pci-e slot and the graphics card. My motherboard doesnt recognize the card. I have updated my MB bios to newest one but it didn't help. I also tried the lightning in my old gaming rig and it worked fine there. Also tried my old graphics card in my new rig and worked just fine. Power wise I should be fine because my old rig has 600w power supply and it worked, new rig has 50 wats more and is more quality PSU.
Also the red and green leds on the gtx 580 lightning are on and fans are spinning but when I try to attach the monitor it just doesnt give anything out.
I am really running out of options here and dunno what to do. I have the intel i5 2500k processor so I can use the onboard graphics to prowse the web. Also managed to install win7 64bit and MB drivers.
Anyone having this same issue ? Or any solutions to my problem? Would be nice to get my rig up and running fully.
Thanks!

AsRock already tested the combination and it works:
http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/45683-asrock-z68-pro-3-msi-gtx-580-lightning-issue.html
Maybe the motherboard has broken PCI-e slots, as Asrock suggested, goto a dealer and check it out with them.
The combination is not a problem, but if a PCI-e slot is broken it can explain all of this.
As the card works in other systems, it's hardly possible it's the card, else it would fail too.
And yes, because an ATI card works it doesn't mean the PCI-e slot is good, have seen such before.
He replaced the board with new one Asus P8P67 Pro and still doesn't works on-board led shows VGA init error.
So 2 different brand new boards with broken slots is very unlikely. [both of them worked fine with different video cards]
The MSI's GTX 580 Lightning worked fine in meantime with the same PSU [he also tested with different one and it works fine with both PSU's on 3th board] on 3th different mainboard.
It's some kind of compatibility issue [based on all facts]

They test it but not with the same card Lightning card, they used reference card instead [MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5].
The VBIOS structure of the non reference design used on Lightning cards are very different compared to regular versions,
as well the card itself compared to reference one.

Reception problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

AFter upgrading to 4.2.1, my 3GS iPhone is experiencing bad signal, bad quality and frequent disconnections.
This was repeated even after my provider replaced my device to a different 3GS device, running 4.2.1.
inserting my SIM card to a NOKIA phone, showed strong signal and good reception.
Did anyone experience reception problems on 3GS running 4.2.1??
Thanks,

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

We have had Verizon Wireless service since 2007. We have 6 lines on our account. Unfortunately in 2012 when I (903.647.0073) upgraded from the iPhone4s to the iPhone 5 I started having reception problems. I started having dropped calls in my home. I had to go outside to get reception without dropped calls. I was told that because of metal in my home I would have to purchase a Network Extender for $250. And we HAVE not metal in our home. AND our other lines all work fine. I felt this was ridiculous. We already pay $350+/month for service and I should NOT have to purchase additional equipment for a service that I already pay for. The manager of our local store at the time gave us at no cost a Samsung Network Extender. It worked beautifully until about a month ago. I went to our local Verizon store and was told that I would have to purchase an extender. THIS is RIDICULOUS. We have been loyal customers for over 7 years and have been very satisfied with our service. Unless this issue can be resolved without purchasing an extender we will be switching our service as our lines come up for renewal. I regret this as we have been very happy with our service. But we should NOT have to purchase anything extra for one line that will not get good reception. Again, we pay $350+/ month for a service that does not work properly, simply RIDICULOUS! Currently the "sys" light flashes red (slow) and the GPS light remains red. Please help this very frustrated customer.

Regardless with what carrier your with you might have the same issue, My recommendation would be to get a router that will help you with viewing live traffic and keep a tally of your usage and any device connected to your internet connection. You can go with the peplink balance 20 and be able to look at your traffic by the hour, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. Look for trends, see what computers or devices are doing what I attached a screen shot so you can see an example of mine. You can purchase the router at 3gstore
