[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 268142, member: 53076"] I was afraid that would be the case: I had the same concern. See post above. No, you aren't alone. Not sure if it has anything to do with tV3 broadcasting in 1080i as opposed to 720p which the other channels are using? Try unchecking 'use exclusive mode' in VMR area of DirectShow Filters in Mediaportal configuration (that's assuming you aren't using Vista & EVR) . It has improved the situation for me but the issue is still there. I don't believe you can record Freeview HD in mpeg format. I tried & only got a blank screen. For normal MPEG I use Nvidia's Purevideo codec. Dscaler 5 or the supplied MPV codec should be okay. Are you sure you're only using ffDShow for HD programmes? Of course, this is only relevant if you don't have PowerDVD* HD codec installed. I thought I was using ffDShow exclusively for software decoding only to find using Graphedit that both were being linked in the video stream. Sometimes I wish it were all simpler..... :( seriously running low on wife approval points.... [/QUOTE]
