[QUOTE="qventin, post: 574305, member: 101950"] Hi All, I have been trying to run SkyStar2 on both XP and Win7, old and freshly installed, all DVB-fixes and virtually all possible BIOS settings. Still I cannot make it run properly -- every 5 to 10 seconds the picture freezes for half a second. The issue is persistent on both the master server preview mode and on all external frontends I have set. After a while I figured out it has nothing to do with codecs: first, changing 'em does not help and secondly - on a freshly installed system with only the card driver and a proper MP installation (all latest versions took part in experiment) it's all the same. Now the card has been screwed into all pci-slots, all other cards tried in various combinations and finally gone (as being suspected for occupying PCI bandwith), all possible motherboard devices switched off -- damn it freezes! The system is MSI K9AG Neo2-Digital (AMD690G chip, no external video), Athlon 64 X2 5200+, 2Gb RAM 800 Dual, currently on WinXP32. And another important notice -- on low-bitrate transponders it works fine, but when it comes to usual 27500 the trouble begins. I guess it has got something to do with the PCI bandwith, but why this card worked fine 10yrs ago on an obsolete 500MHz Celeron? And it still surprisingly well works in ProgDVB.. Dear MediaPortal fellows, please tell me, what else to try and do with the system? PS Yep, Sysinternals and DPC Latency Checker did not help clear the mystery.. [/QUOTE]
