Hi, I have a problem with receiving DVB-T italian channels on both my machines.
Basically all primary channels work flawlessly. But, secondary (regional) channels have a series of problems:
1) Some channels show a couple of frames after tuning, and stop that way. If I record, I can watch back the recording in VLC with no problems.
2) Some channels show ok, but no audio. In Hauppauge WinTV-7 some of these channels also have no audio or have audio reproduce in a very singular way.. it's at an high pitch and fast and stuttering (my two diagnosys: 1) playing at double the rate, followed by silence because the rate mismatch led it to exhaust data OR 2) being a mono signal reproduced as it was stereo)
3) Some channels have the luck of falling in both categories
On one of the machines I replaced WinXP with Win7 and used 7MC.. all channels work OK!
On the other machine, I've tried every (really) codec I could find and the problems are always there, from MPC Gabest, to Cyberlink, to ffdshow and every other I could find.
Anyone experiencing the same issues ?
