Stable setup with TT S2-3200 and DVBVIEWER ?

[os1]

Hi

 

I am trying to setup my HTPC with Technotrend S2-3200 dvb-s/dvb-s2 card with DVBViewer.

My system freezes up a lot. Tried a few different codecs but it still is buggy. I'm considering buying a faster pc/better graphic card.

 

My hope is that if people have a stable system with S2-3200 and DVBViewer, they would post their setup here.

 

Please post your hardware, OS, codecs, option settings etc.

 

It would be nice to have a thread focusing only on stable setups. This should be done for different tv cards I think. It would benefit lazy guys like me , and others in this forum.

 

I would appreciate any feedback

Beta-Driver 5.0.0.2, Vista (or XP), NVidia-Decoder with MPEG2 (Cyberlink has a small bug in newest version), Cyberlink PowerDVD with H264, AC3-decoder sound via SPDIF, Overlay.

 

Problems occur mostly with CAM. Above configuration is 100% stable without CAM and without Plugins.

Check your signal strength too, it might be an issue.

 

Works just fine for me now that I rewired the satellite wall socket.

 

System: C2D @ 2.2 Ghz, ATi X700 Class, connected to HDTV via HDMI.

Conax CAM with Canal Digital (nordic) subscription card.

 

Running recent beta with TT 5.x.x drivers.

Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard. AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GB RAM Nvidia 7600GT graphics card

Vista Ultimate 32, Cyberlink 7.3 newest Update, TT Driver 4.4.10.18

 

I use the above system directly connected to my projector (Panasonic PT-AE700) but also I use it running DVBServer & then running DVBViewer on a client with the following configuration:-

Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 1GB RAM Onboard Nvidia 6150 graphics

Windows XP Media Center Edition, Cyberlink 7.3 newest Update

 

I have also used the Nvidia decoders for MPEG2 & CoreAVC for MPEG4

 

All is perfectly stable & works very well with CI, T.Rex Supermodule & Sky HD or INXTC subscription card.

TT3200 & CI

DVBViewer - latest version and GE for High def decoding on nvidia 8600 GT (run's alot smoother and can record it) Cyberlink V7 decoders using hardware acceleration.

 

Works like a dream - now to get the cams running nicely..............

Now i have it working with the CAM too on DVBViewer but not with DVBViewer GE though- Trex for premiere HD and it records well too - i couldnn't get version 5 dba driver for TT3200 to work on vista32. so I user the 4.18 version works fine.

DVBViewer GE do not support Encrypted channels.
