Hi,

On the above system, when watching the CBS Action channel in the UK on Sky/Freesat the picture freezes every time they switch between a programme and the adverts. The audio continues, and timeshifting carries on fine - if I jump back 15 seconds then forward again the picture comes back. Then as soon as the switch from ads to programme or vice versa, the picture freezes again.

It's a weird one, and as far as I can tell only CBS Action does it, no other ones. I'm going to try switching codecs (I have Compro, MainConcept and ffdshow ones to try) and see if that makes any difference.

Has anyone else had this? :confused:
