DVB-C: stutter, other hints please? (2 Viewers)

[hansdegit]

One strange thing is bugging me: a recording, done on my HTPC, transferred to another PC stutters; reproducable at exactly 1m04s. On my brother's PC this same video runs smoothly.....

Hmmm - that is odd ... [/quote]

Not just odd, it's not true...I watched the recording this afternoon; indeed, no stuttering. But that's because that PC used the MPV decoder. And we know now that MPV exhibits strange blocky artefacts when the stream is incomplete.

About the signal strength: I measured the signal strength using the the STB as a measuring device:
add 3dB to the wall-outlet results in 63%
add 7dB to the wall-outlet results in 64%
add another amplifier to the picture: maximum strength never exceeds 66%.

STB is Panasonic brand.

But, who cares. We now know were the trouble came from.
