Shuttering pic. when looking at TV (1 Viewer)

[bigal]

Finally the Twinhan DVB-C card works, it was a bad driver that Twinhan now has fixed. Autotune works and finds every channel.

When I do the search the quality and strenght is between 95-100% (Media Portal)
When I look thru MP the picture is shuttering, even the radio shutters
Looking thru TwinhanDTV (their own app.) the TV works fine.

Witch codecs should I use for the best result?
even though Twinhan DTV uses its own drivers and MP uses BDA that qulity and strenght must be the only hardware related problems and the doesn't excist here.

At a first look it seems to be shuttering when the computer 'thinks' but that is not allways the case.

Another Guy has this card working fine, so codecs and settings most be the problem?

Same problems for me, even in recording, the shuttering is there. I downloaded a different decoder, and with that one, it is a little better. It is called GPL MPEG 1/2 Decoder:

But does anyone knows what the deinterlacing does? None, Bob, Weave, Best. And what the difference is between those?

The codec handles the shuttering more firm so it is more gentle to the eyes but it ain't good at all

can it be something with the driver, that isn't good enough? so it can't handle it without shuttering...?

any other codecs?

I think that is it before the codecs come to use that the error is...

I have had the same probem with a Twinhan DVB-T card.

I had to reinstall an old version of the drivers (1.2.1.9)
I have tested with 1.2.2.7, 1.2.2.9 and 1.2.3.0 and they all sutter and flicker.
Twinhan seems to have broken something in their driver and only 1.2.1.9 drivers playback smoothly.

Performance settings in the bios can affect this as well. My motherboard has various options for "top performance" or "optimized defaults". Different versions of the driver work well with different bios settings.

I don't know if this is relevant to your particular problem, but make sure that the option "Grab EPG from DVB" is unchecked in MediaPortal Setup\Television\Program Guide.

I found that this made a noticable difference, probably because we don't have EPG data available in the DVB program streams in Australia....

Yes I tried that for a while too, and it make differents but it is still shuttering

I can't make driver-change cause this is the only driver that Twinhan DVB-C works with

Happy new year!

I have also the same problem using Twinhan DVB-S and BDA driver 1.2.2.0, but I have tried different versions. I have also tried all the tricks at this forum I think; Changing codecs, PCI Latency, etc. The flickering has become more seldom, but it is still there and is very irritating.

I have had the theory that the cause could be my Conax card, but now when I hear that I am not alone about this problem, I doubt that too.

My wife and I will be very thankful if someone can give us a solution on this.

Same here with an Hauppage 150MCE.
When you autoscan for channels, the pictures are clear and good, but as soon when you go to mytv.. the stuttering begins..
Weird problem

Twinhan CAB-CI here and exactly the same problem.

Some codecs handles better than the other but the the mosta stable picture i've achieved is still unwatchable.

TwinhanDTV (bundled app) and DVBViewer works fine. They use bundled drivers.

I suspect this could still be BDA-Driver related.

Have you tried other drivers? such as 1.2.2.9? Or 1.2.2.8?
