When trying to change to the Australian channel "SBS" or "SBSHD" using the Dvico FusionHDTV dual digital 4, the picture and video never start. I can change back to another station after a short time and the other station works perfectly. Change back to SBS or SBSHD and no picture or video.

SBS and SBSHD work fine with the Dvico fusion HDTV software. The signal is very strong in its signal meter.

In the logs, I found a lot of lines with "subch:0 wait for pmt 400" like below when there was no video/audio:

These channels work fine with the old Twinhan card.

Upgraded to latest svn (Rev16723) and still the same problem.

If I select "tuning" from the F9 menu, the signal is shown as 90-100% quality. If I use manual control from setuptv.exe, the signal also shows as filling both bars. ScanchannelsBDA shows 89-100% strength (swinging).

The signal still works fine for SBS in the fusionhdtv program but now the twinhan card is affected in MP in the same way. No audio/video.

Both cards show good strength of signal and quality. Both show SBS without issue in their native programs. MediaPortal changes to the channel but shows no video/audio (occasionally a short squeak of audio while changing channels).

If I change to a different channel when sbs is selected, I get audio but no video on the new channel. If I turn the TV off and then on again, the video returns.

I just went back to find the last working version and I found that these channels work fine with Rev16582 but anything newer doesn't show audio/video.

Dvico FusionHDTV dual digital 4

Hello,

I am using a Dvico FusionHDTV dual digital 4 as well, and am experiencing the same issue.

 

[jimbolina]

I just tried Revision 16742 and set some larger numbers for the WaitForTimeshifting and WaitForUnscrambled values. No improvement.

I don't see an error when there is no video/audio. I just get a black screen with no audio. Playing the recorded/timeshifted .ts shows the same. Also using the preview in setuptv plays audio but doesn't even draw the black screen. It just shows the grey window background.

hmm - thats kida sucks, least now i know not to try the release when I get home. I think I will start attaching logs so the devs can look into it - seems strange that this problem only occurs on 2 channels. Was kinda hoping that this was related to the issues that some of the others have reported in no audio/video..

Like all the other issues that get reported, I'm sure the devs will get around to looking at them.. In the mean time we'll do our bit and provide logs, and keep the wife calm....

Problem: When changing to the two SBS channels, I get Audio, but no video.

Just for the record I am getting the exact same problem on a Nova-DT card. I will attach logs if anyone feels they need more info.

I too am having this problem. I have a DVICO Fusion HDTV Home/Lite. I sometimes get sound on SBS but no video. Strangely i can get SBS News channel fine. I'm not sure if i'm not waiting long enough, but i have to turn off the TV to return to another channel otherwise i don't get video on them either.

On a side note, Does anyone else have problems with the ZuluVcap.sys (installed by the DVICO instaler) causing the blue-screen-of-death and resetting their machine?
