I'm trying to decode the BBC HD channel using my PC and MP setup (above). Previously, before installing PowerDVD9 to get the HD codec, I used the ffdshow codec (for H.264), and the BBC HD channel picture would be blank but I would get sound (with the audio description at the same time!). Now using the PowerDVD9 codec for H.264, MP just displays a blank screen, freezes and lockups the PC!
The question is, with my above setup with a GPU that only supports DX9, is it possible to decode BBC HD? Would using CoreAVC codec solve the problem? (The reason I have been reluctant to do this, is because the last time I installed this codec, the other channels (SD) pictures started stuttering and were jerky on viewing...)
Lastly to complete, is it possible to get ITV HD? How do scan for this channel, putting the PID, etc and make it appear on the channel list and EPG?
