Problems with HDTV channels (1 Viewer)

Hi, i used to watch SDTV with mediaportal because i had an SD TV, but now i have bought a HDTV Loewe Connect 40" and want to watch/redord HDTV channels. My problem is that when i try to watch some of those HDTV channels the image freezes. My HTPC specifications are:

MediaPortal Version: 1.2.0 Alpha
Windows Version: Windows XP SP3
CPU Type:AMD Athlon II 240 X2 Dual Core 2.8Ghz AM3 Box
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Green GP 1TB 7200 SATA
Memory: 2,50 GB RAM (4 but XP only shows 2,5)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790GPT-UD3H Socket AM3
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics (integrated)
Video Card Driver: 10.12
Sound Card: Integrated
Sound Card AC3: Integrated
Sound Card Driver: Integrated
1. TV Card: Terratec Cinergy 2400i DT
1. TV Card Type: DVB-T Dual Tunner
1. TV Card Driver: 6.0.108.72
MPEG2 Video Codec: ffdshow Video Decoder (saf 4 unlocked)
MPEG2 Audio Codec: ffdshow Aideo Decoder (saf 4 unlocked)
h.264 Video Codec: ffdshow Video Decoder (saf 4 unlocked)
HTPC Case: Thermaltake DH-101 MediaLab
Cooling: Scythe Ninja Mini Rev.B Low Profile
Power Supply: Mushkin EP-500AP 500W Modular
Remote: imon
TV: Loewe Connect 40"
TV - HTPC Connection: HDMI

So, i am using SAF 4 unlocked (also tried saf 5 unlocked with same results) and this is my TV codec config in mediaportal configuration:



The question is that according to graphstudio, there is no using of Ciberlynik Video Decoder PDVD 9 nor in SD or HD:

SDTV

The channels play normally.

HDTV

The channels freezes.


Anyone can give me an idea?? Thank you so much.

PS: i have seen this thread https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/h-264-codec-live-tv-90938/ talking about something like my problem, but i'm not sure it can be the same reason.

Hi,

you have to use the default windows codecs for digital tv. (Microsoft DT-DVD Video decoder) Works much better than de codecs from Cyberlink. You can read that information over here:

Good luck.
