Ok, i finally got my Twinhan VP1020A working with my theater v 3.27 and succesfully scanned echostar 5. The problem is when i watch ANY channel, signal goes from 90% and drops till 0%. So what i have to do to fix this problem is to unplug my sat feed cable from the DVB card and plug it back in. This will fix the problem for about 10 seconds (signal strenght goes back to 90%) then i have to unplug, plug it back.
I was using same card, dish setup to watch Nimiq1 and it was working fine. When it went down, i havent used the DVB card until last week. (thats when i started looking into Dish since i know the keys are out and it works fine).
Im thinking maybe my card is bad?
But if its bad why did it work with BEV?
Maybe im missing a file?
So basically, MyTheater drops signal strength but all channels work fine.
I have a DIRECT cable from LNB to DVB card, NO SWITCHES whatsoever.

ANY input or help will be much appreciated!!

What type of LNB are you using?

Try changing it to a different pci slot.
