Hi

I seem to have problem viewing any Sky UK HD channel with the above setup. I can view BBCHD with no problems.
Could this be a codec problem, am I using the right codecs for my Hardware? My problem is I am a little confused as to if I should be using and how to set the following DVXA/Coreavc/EVR etc, don't know if I have these set or if I should be using them with my setup?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is there anyone who uses MP with SKY HD channels through DVBS?

Cheers

I can't directly help as I don't run HD TV, but you might want to take a look at the https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/1-0-1-svn-builds-313/1080i-material-not-deinterlacing-under-1-0-1-0-a-58486/ and https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/stuttering-live-tv-recordings-tv-server-1-0-1-amd-780g-58685/ threads.

EVR is the recommended/default renderer for MP under Vista, but make sure you have the 'Aero' desktop scheme enabled.

I think I may have figured out what is going on here, I have found out that Sky HD is transmitted in 1080i format, whereas I am guessing BBC HD is 720p?

Well should my kit be able to playback 1080i material?

I am thinking of a complete re-install as maybe some of the drivers/codecs have messed up.
