    When I see low resolution DVB-S channels (SkyTG24 from SkyItalia, 544x576 or Viva Polska from MTV, 480x576), any 2-3 seconds some artefacts appears in the image.

    See pictures for more info:









    My tests:

    1) format a new hard drive with a fresh install of XP PRO, all o.s. and drivers updates, MP RC1+SVN, artefacts;

    2) change video card, change video driver, remove all PVR-150, change all RAM modules, reformat, artefacts;

    3) change operating sistem, from XP PRO to XP MCE, reformat, all updates, artefacts;

    4) move my PC to another LNB in another house, reformat, all updates, artefacts;

    5) test with all version of SkyStar2 drivers, from 4.3.0 to 4.4.3, WDM and BDA, artefacts;

    6) change all settings of VMR9 into MP, artefacts;

    7) change codec, from MPV to PureVideo or CyberLink, artefacts;

    8) reinstall 0.2.3.0 with SVN, perfect image. :confused:

    With other programs (DVBViewer, ProgDVB), perfect image. :mad:

    To this point I am convinced that the problem is the TV Server.

    I have some hope to be able to use it with my SkyStar2 or I must be tied up to MP 0.2.3.0 ?
