Hi, I been using my setup for about 5 months now, it comprises of a Hauppauge Nova T-500 (dual DVB-T) and a Technotrend S2-3200 (single DVB-S/S2). The DVB-T stuff is quite stable but the DVB-S can be a bit buggy but is still very usuable, has some problems recording sometimes but i think this is more a driver issue. BBC-HD is excellent, when my graphics card and codec want to work together. The hardest thing for me to do is to get a populated EPG, which has proved to be very flacky. Hopefully this will change soon with the launch of FreeSat, fingers crossed.

Kev.

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

MP1 MP2 Weird problem with UK DVB-T independent radio channels DE

Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

MP1 MP2 XMLTV not populating guide? Can anyone help? DE

I used to use the grabber but a few years back it disappeared on FreeSat DVBS. That is when I changed to EPG Collector. The extra benefit is that it collects from the Sky platform so it will give EPG for all the FreeSat channels plus the unencrypted movie channels on the Sky platform. It also allows me to pick the channels dedicated...
