Bloody hell there's a lot of crap on Satellite! Gonna take me a couple hours to get rid of the guff.

I'm having major issues with BBC HD. I've tried ATI AVIVO, ffdshow and cyberlink codecs but I keep getting the same problem. I get audio and no video.

When I put a High Def mkv file through GraphEdit it creates the graph properly and the file can be played fine. When I take a little recording with BBC HD and/or put a .ts file from a manual timeshift in GraphEdit I get the error "Some of the streams in this movie are in an unsupported format" and only the pins for the audio stream are connected.

EDIT: It was just a codec problem. Cyberlink version 7 codecs was what I needed, also had a play around in ffdshow and made sure it wasn't muscling in on other codecs. Working excellently now - whoop Free HD
I'm relative newbie to MP, I've been a fan of freevo for the last coupe of years - but after stumbling over MP and being very impressed with it's performance I haven't even bothered installing linux on my new HTPC - which I purchased this month, primarily to watch bluray rips etc.
My previous rig was struggling a bit - this new one with MP is spot on...anyways I digress.
I purchased a Pinnacle 7110i dual DVB-T/DVB-S card and hooked up to the old unused Sky dish on Tuesday...managed to get a picture and stuff with the pinnacle software, but no BBC HD =(
Last night I had another play and installed latest Media Portal + TVServer, and it appeared in the scan list...and I had the same problem as mortstar - no video, just audio.
After reading forums etc for a bit someone suggested installing CoreAVC, for decoding - and it worked a treat...nice full HD pic, full speed in MP.
Only problem now is the EPG thing - has anyone got a work around?
