I've come up with a problem with my new DVB-T HTPC. Sometimes the video stream gets it self into a loop of about 1/2 a second of corrupted /artifact video. Audio keeps playing fine. I can skip forward a few seconds past the problem.
Very occasionally I see video artifacts when watching, most of the time the stream just keeps playing when it comes across these little faults.
It seems though that if the corruption is bad enough the stream goes in to this loop. If I turn off HW decoding on the cyberlink PDVD codec the problem doesn't occur.
I've confirmed this in graphedit. i.e. :
TsReader(30sec .ts file with a broken section)---->CyberlinkPDVD---->EVR
With HW decoding turned on graphedit plays the stream till it gets to the bad bit then starts looping. Turn off HW decoding and grahpedit will just skip over or drop the bad frames.
I also often see artifacts when changing channels.
I'm uploading the 30 second .ts sample to the tsdumps ftp server.

I realize that this might not really a TVServer issue but I wonder can anything be done in TsWriter to stop this happening? After all this file is produced by TsWriter. Maybe its a signal problem? Hauppauge signal meter shows 100% signal.
