    These will be included in future release of MP, dropping mpa\mpv codecs, the internal discussion seems to be in favour of this change, could be in MP1.3x, this would at least allow most files to play out of the box.

    They work really good. I only noticed some problems on the HD channel "Servus TV Germany HD". It will show no picture when switching to this channel. Other HD channels work.

    My suggestion is to use the MS DTV/DVD Codec for MPEG2 and H.264 in LiveTV, since you are on Windows 7.

    Spooky:
    I use this codec ATM, because of the small issue with the LAV when using H264.
    LAV works PERFECT with MPG2.

    Hm, the problem may be your CPU actually. You only have an Athlon X2 250e, but you need at least a Phenom in conjunction with the HD3200, in order to get smooth Hardware Deinterlacing on 1080i channels (like Servus TV). Maybe that is why you only see a black screen. Or do other 1080i channels work? (Anixe HD is 1080i too for instance, or the Astra HD test channel.)

    Anixe HD, Arte HD and every other channel works.
