BBC HD on DVB-S? (i.e. not S2) (1 Viewer)

[RobNorthcott]

Did you get any software with the card, may be worth trying to run that up and see if you can get BBC HD to work with the native s/w.

The native software is Hauppauge WinTV, which is really nasty and pretty unstable. But FWIW I just tried tuning BBC HD with it - it found it, but described it as a "radio channel". Trying to watch it crashed the application back to the desktop (but no BSOD or reboot).

I've tried another h264 codec in MP (an ATI one presumably installed with the graphic card driver) and it doesn't reboot now, but hangs MP so all you can do is close it. Perhaps all three of my h264 codecs are broken - although filmerit doesn't seem to think so.

Know how bad hat app is but it does still require the installed codes to be correct - still looking like a code issue

Logs attached if it helps. Last thing I did was try to tune BBC HD using that ATI codec.

Got it working

I've got BBC HD working now. Installed "HD Pack 2.2" and used the PDVD9 H264 codec. Works well.
