Temperamental Channel Changes with DVB-S2

[Whitey]

I have a technotrend S2-3200 and DVBViewer Pro 3.5.0.10 with PowerDVD 7 and pure video.

 

When viewing H264 HD channels on DVB-S2, channel changing is very temeramental. Sometimes a re-start is required or sometimes changing to DVB-S channel then back again works. H264 HD channels on DVB-S seem to be fine.

 

While this is not a big problem, it also seems to affect scheduled recordings too. Most of the time they fail to record a file that will play back.

 

Is there something else I need to do?

Hello,

 

I have a technotrend S2-3200 and DVBViewer Pro 3.5.0.10

[*]Fix: DVB-S2: Fixed another problem on tuning DVB-S2 devices.

I have been using this latest version for a nearly two weeks now and its getting worse! The main problem seems to be with encrypted channels, SD and HD. A few SD channels are fine (even though they take longer to change channel) but a few stutter when viewing live or on recordings with AV disabled. The HD (H264/ac3) channels are worse. Doesn't seem to matter if they are DVB-S or DVB-S2, both suffer. I get between 5 to 10mins of video when viewing live TV before it freezes and large files with no video or audio from recordings most of the time. A FTA HD (H264/ac3) DVB-S channel works fine btw.

 

These problems seemed to have appeared once I got the DVB-S2 transponders working. Before this, with the same hardware, I had no problems at all.

 

Thanks

I have the same problem !!

Latest Beta doesn't seem to have improved anything with this problem.

 

I'm willing to test anything to solve this one

 

Thanks

@Whitey, could you attach a fresh support.zip and an export of the dvb-s2 channels that cause problems? I can't help with CI-problems but could you tell which module/smart card you are using?

unfortunatly being in the UK means that all the S2 chans are crypted, there is only one unencrypted HD chan on astra 28 and that is BBC HD (DVB s1)
