OSD Menu issue

[Zero7]

Hi,

I have looped out LNB cable from STB to Skystar2 PCI. Most of the times, dish could be on a different satellite than the one last tuned in the DVBViewer. So when I start DVBViewer, last viewed channel does not come up. To change the channel using remote or to start watching a movie, picture etc, I have to get the OSD menu up. I can't get the menu, unless I use the mouse, open the channel list and tune to active channel.

 

How to get OSD Menu without doing this? Can I get the DVBViewer start with OSD Menu instead of starting with a TV Channel?

 

I would like to use DVBViewer as HTPC software and not as a TV Viewer alone.

disable tune last channel in the options/tv&radio.

Kind of the same problem occurs during normal operations also. If I happen to tune to a channel with no signal (I do have some long-distance DVB-T channels that are not always available because of the weather) then I lose the OSD and along with it any possibility to leave the channel. Sometimes the OSD becomes responsive again after quite a while, sometimes not at all. The problem seems to be most prominent when using ChUP/ChDOWN to reach problematic channel.

 

What should I do to prevent OSD freeze on dead channel?

select Overlay as video renderer. All others won't work if there is no video to render. DVBViewer should still react on ch+/- though, so you should be able to zap away. May tike a while though.
