note: MediaPortal always determins a signal level of 0 for the Skystar2. even when it is working. seems like the dirvers do not support the sharing of the signal level?

additional informations:
this issue is 100% reproduceable with the Skystar2.

Watching a channel on the Happauge NOVA-T USB2 Stick in MyTV on the same client does NOT show this behaviour.
even after one hour it is still working like a charm.

---------- VLC: ----------

Test 1: connect to Skystar2 Stream:

1. start VLC
2. connect to the stream of the Skystar2
3. VLC is displaying the stream
4. after ~4 seconds VLC stutters shortly, shows artefacts and reports problems
   VLC log: View attachment 1282
5. every ~10 seconds VLC continues to stutter shortly and reports the same errors.

Test 2: connect to Hauppauge NOVA-T USB2 Stick Stream:

1. start VLC
2. connect to the stream of the Hauppauge NOVA-T USB2 Stick
3. VLC is displaying the stream
4. after ~15 minutes still NO ERROR, NO STUTTERING. -> works like a charm

Just a little post to confirm i have the very same issue with a Cinergy 2400DT (dvbt)

it seems that the new beta BDA driver for the Skystar2 fixes this problem.
