Hi,

1. Scanning transponders procedure works super fine (better than in RC1 - finds HD channels). I've made group CYFRA+ in groups secction (and other, All).
But when I lounch MP i can access only to All group (there is no switch to CYFRA+ group), also when I pick up "channel" button - I cannot see any of them - just blank screen.
This is completly "fresh" system, without any other MP installation (just MAPI to handle phoenix card reader).

2. Second issue is with HD channels. Or there are 3 issues
1st - when switching to HD channels my tv card is starting to transmitt high freq sounds - why's that?
2nd - when switching to HD channels i cannot see any picture - there is graphic from MP, but no TV (but sound is played)
3rd - where I can find HD codecs supporting hardware acceleration provided by purevideo - this was the reason which i bought this card

Thanks for help!

Hi,

1.
when the channellist pops up you can choose the different tv groups
by pressing left or right arrow

2.
a) are you sure it's the tv card?
b) do you have a .h264 codec installed ?
if not you are not able to view (most of the) hdtv channels
c) did you install the software/codecs supplied with your tv card?
cyberlink powerdvd should haven delivered with your card
(at least it was with my technisat skystar hd)

To be honest I've lost CD Drivers where downloaded from TS webpage.
I did found the CD - but except software for videoeditting there is no PowerDVD

Hi,
No problems with that here, think you should attach your logs after a scenario like that so we can see whats up.

Regards
Roy

Roy,

I've completly deinstall mp and tv server and installed it again. But this time when searching new channels i did not check to create groups by the provider - i think this was the issue.
