Hi thanks for the new version, the install went smooth.

BUT it is almost not usable for waching live tv, the picture freezes very often, and even the sound is not fluid.

I did a clean install, only the TV-database was reused.

Hope you can pinpoint the problem from the logs.

Thanks
Steen

Bad signal.

Hi Tourette

Thank you for looking into this.

I think you are right, we have heavy snow, and I checked the quality = 10-20, it used to be 80-100.


However, I noticed that the channel change is very slow also. There is a long time with black screen, and this is not caused by bad signal, because I also checked on my analoge channels coming from the STB into my PVR150.
So has anyboy else observed a slow channel change?

Yes, same here, but I use IPTV. Never had this issue before.
It takes 15 seconds to start the playback of a channel, and it takes 5 seconds to stop livetv.
Changing between channels takes again almost 15 seconds, even when changing aspect ratio, livetv freezes for a second.

I tested SD channels and everything was installed from scratch.
Latest SVN was working great and fast.

Logs please. Otherwise there is no point in looking into this issue.

I agree that these dropped frames is not a bug.

The heavy snow is gone, and today I have no dropped frames, and the TV-signal is now improved (signal quality like 70-90).

But I still have very slow channel change, I hope you will look into this.

I have made a new thread and provided logs, where I change channels.
