[QUOTE="brena, post: 297553, member: 75514"] Hi Everyone! :thx: for all the help in this thread - very helpful! I'm sure I have read the whole thing today :D Here's a trap for young players - one to be careful of maybe - took me a day or three to figure out. I've had MP RC2 working great with DVB-S and decided to try DVB-T so bought a HVR4000 and set up everything pretty well. Most channels were working great, hardware acceleration doing the business, low cpu usage and all, but the HD Demo and Maori TV channels would have a clear picture but super slow frame rate. They would play for a second or two then freeze for about 5 before continuing again for a second or two, repeat... I figured it must be a codec thing or something similar - not so much a signal problem as the other channels were great. Begin wild goose chase. After a few days trying just about everything without any success I noticed in TV Server card channel scanning section there are 2 transmitters for Hawkes Bay (where I am). The drop down list cuts off the full name so a bit hard to tell where they are. It would seem I was on the wrong one. Switched it over, scanned again - bingo! All channels working perfectly. On the bright side I now know a LOT more about getting MP to work on Freeview HD :rolleyes: Hope this helps someone save a day or three :) [/QUOTE]
