Morning,
I have been using the lastest 3 versions of MP and always loved it. Currently I am running 0.2 RC2 and was quite impressed with the stability improvements compared to RC1 when I installed it.
2 days ago I recieved a DVB-T tuner and started trying to get it to work properly with MP.
These are my hardware specs
Intel Celeron 1200
512 MB RAM
Radeon 9000 Pro (128 MB)
120 GB IDE HD
SoundBlaster PCI512
FloppyDTV
MCE Remote
These are my software specs
Fresh install of Windows XP Pro with Sp2
All windows updates available + hotfixes recommended for firewire, mediaplayer and dvb cards
FireDTV BDA Driver 2.0 Light
Latest ATI Catalyst driver
DirectX 9c
Mediaportal 0.2 RC2
Power DVD 6
Now to my problem. Installation worked ok, everything installed fine. CI is working and I can decode all channels that i subscribe from my provider (Boxer).
However switching channels seems very slow, it takes anything from 4-10 seconds until I see the new channel. Also switching channels often leads to MP hanging and on sometimes even crashing without any error message. I have verified that MP uses the cyberlink codec for watching TV. My signal quality should be ok, never had any issues with it in the past.
I have tried playing around with various settings and turning timeshifting on and off, still cannot get it to work good enough to place this box in my livingroom and disconnect my normal terrestial reciever.
Is there anything I have might have missed software / hardwarewise that makes it behave like this? Every forum post I have read about FloppyDTV contains ppl saying its working so well for them.
Please help!
Regards
