[QUOTE="christiaanfa, post: 771562, member: 89040"] Hi Everyone, I need some help with setting up my MediaPortal installation for watching Live TV (SD and HD channels) from Dutch DVB-C provider Ziggo! I'm running MediaPortal for 3 years now. I went through countless Versions/SVN's/Setting/Codecs, and so far I haven't been able to manage to watch live TV trouble free. I'm so desperate that I'm considdering buying a Cisco Settop box for Watching TV (what is a massive blow to my budget/motivation/ego and a complete waste because I want and know it is possible to use MediaPortal as complete media solution). I'm running a single seat TV setup, on a Windows 7 - 64 bit system with MediaPortal 1.1.3. I use RamDisk to store my Timeshifting files. I'm using a ATI 4670 video card and a Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 soundcard. I have 2 Floppy DTV TV cards with Alpha Crypt CAM's. As far as I know this must be sufficient enough for desent Live TV playback. Currently I'm using the SAF 6.0 codec pack (SVN 20110722), hense this gives the best results up till now. However I'm open to every suggestion and setting codecwise. I know that there are people (even Dutchies) out there who have running a simular configuration without problems. Any help what can help me towards a good media experiance is welcome. As said I'm open to any suggestion. All I want is stutter/glitch free TV playback, witout compromising the playback quality of other media files.
