I also had the problem with not being able to delete files after 1.0.2 upgrade. Found a fix in the forum: Turn off (uncheck) thumbnailing.

sooo do dvb-t .ts files work with comskip? and is it possible to use comskip to lower the volume on tv during ad's when watching live tv? always far too loud!

havnt used it since pre dvb-t

Just a quick question on the DVB-S Channels currently available.

I had to delete my groups and do a rescan to sort out the channel numbering after the 1.0.2 upgrade.

NOw, when I rescan the channels I get the standard list of channels plus TV ONE (1), TV ONE (2) and another TV ONE (1). TV ONE (2) lists the Provider as Television New Zealand Ltd, as opposed to Television New Zealand for the others. TV NZ Sport is also missing.

Any ideas to what on earth is going wrong?

Im using the standard Freeview INI as listed in the Wiki as well as the settings listed in the Wiki, which has been working fine for the last year.

Sorry to butt in, but I've got a good question too

The fan on my crappy old 128 MB graphics card has died and I couldn't get a replacement so I've bought a new card which I'm going to install this weekend. Can I just pull the old card out, put the new card in, and then run the installation CD, or do I have to uninstall the drivers etc for the old card?

Any advice would be appreciated

Found this on the Freeview website:

TVNZ Sport Extra
TVNZ will no longer be transmitting TVNZ Sport Extra on the Freeview satellite platform. Freeview is an open access broadcast platform. It is up to individual broadcasters whether they broadcast their channels on Freeview satellite and/or Freeview|HD. Please consult TVNZ if you have any further questions.

It depends, if both cards are from the same manufacturer (both nvidia or ati) you should just be able to replace it and then install the latest drivers over the top.

If you want to play it safe, you could run Guru3d's driver sweeper first: Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

If they're different then I'd definitely run the driver sweeper first.

 

[captcol]

Personally I would run driver sweeper regardless, infact nvidia or guru 3d reccomend you do that before upgrading drivers even. May or may not make a difference but definately easier than trying to fix a borked vid driver install

 

[kiwijunglist]

I'd go a ghost of my install.
Then google driver cleaner.
I think best way is to reboot in safe mode then uninstall the drivers
then reboot in safe mode and run driver cleaner or similar (as admin)
then switch off computer
then install new card/remove old card
then install new drivers
