I thought it worth mentioning in case someone else with the same problem finds this thread. Not even a long cable either, only 3-4m. Very weird.

Now that IS weird. I tried everything, it was the same every time, until I left the outgoing cable off (it isn't plugged into anything at the other end) and the HD channels appeared! I can only assume the slightly low signal along with the open cable was enough to confuse it and kill them. Oh...

I had the card and MP working in another computer some time ago and the HD channels were working but I didn't use it much, then I set it up again a couple of weeks ago in a different computer and noticed that there were no HD channels. Hopefully it is just transmitter maintenance but I'll check...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I'm out of my depth here so I appreciate the help. 1) That's what I thought. 2 & 3) According to Wikipedia, T2 currently operates at 586.000MHz, I did another scan of Mendip and the entry saying '3p - freq:586.000/167:8' comes back with '3p - 586167...

Similar problem here but the above solutions didn't help. MediaPortal 1.32.000.0 running on Windows 10 Pro in the UK TBS 6281SE Dual DVB-T1/T2 BDA tuner card (latest drivers) TV Server finds 68 T1 (SD) channels but no T2 (HD) channels. I'm using the same aerial as the TV and the HD channels...

@Anthony Gagnon, thanks for sparing the time to think about this. My main use for it will be scheduling recordings and watching live TV but I struggle to do that without subtitles. My videos and recordings all have subtitles and I have other methods of watching them on my phone so it's not a...

@Anthony Gagnon Thanks for your reply. As you said, CC are different to our subtitles and we don't have them here. It's odd as it looks as if they should work but I haven't managed it yet. Shame as it works very well otherwise but I do need those subtitles.

Hi, I recently set up Media Portal (1) on my computer and it's working as expected so I then tried to get it working on my 'phone. I installed MPExtended and MPTVScheduler and it works well but doesn't display subtitles and I need them (they're fine on the computer). I have English subtitles...

Yet strangely it's fine here using ZoomPlayer and a .vob ripped directly from a DVD (I'm not using Media Portal at present but still check in here). I use MediaInfo daily so it can't be that simple. You say it happens in WMC as well but try VLC (just for a test) as it opened within a couple of...

The reason for this is that AC3 has a wider dynamic range than MP2/3/etc. so the average audio level is lower, allowing for very loud bangs and explosions (which are at the top end, at the same level as the MP2 stream).

I don't know MCE Buddy (as I used MediaPortal) but once you have Project X set up it's dead easy to use and I drive the whole process using a batch file to make it even easier. For my purposes Project X just de-muxes the file and controls the output, it doesn't do OCR, and .sub is the DVB-SUB...

UK Freeview does indeed use image-based subtitles, which are known as DVB-SUBs. In some cases the recording also contains teletext subtitles, which will convert to .srt easily, but normally you'll have to run the .ts file through something like 'Project X' which can de-mux the file to its video...

Done here too. The survey is interesting but the software it's running on (google?) is hopeless in Firefox 12.0 - it kept leaving me in blank space on a page so I had to scroll up to see what had happened. Also each section should lead on to the next or back to the menu rather than just stopping.

This continues to be a problem - even worse than I thought as I have compared the HD broadcast with the SD version and when the HD DVB Subtitles are disappearing off to the side, the SD DVB subs are in the middle so MP is doing something strange with them. I have upgraded to 1.2.3 and it's...

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.2 Description I use MP full screen on a second 1280x1024 monitor but when I switch to an HD channel, the subtitles sometimes behave as if it's a 1920x1080 screen - i.e. they disappear off the sides of the screen like so: In other words, the video scales down to fit...
