stuttering video/audio - windows media centre wipeout

[tablaman]

i'm totalling new to DVBViewer

 

i downloaded only the main package and installed with basic things

 

scanning seemed to go well - found th channels available

 

but video and audio were stuttering

 

tried different codecs to no effect.

 

when i returned to try Windows Media Centre which played well before

 

it reports that the tuner cannot find channels

 

curses ... i was hoping to replace Windows Media Centre

 

well - i guess i've done that ...

 

i'm using Windows 7 and a Pinnacle DVB-T stick (72e)

 

what can i do to get things to work?

 

thanks

technical stuff!

 

Windows Media Centre reported 'weak signal'

 

why this shoould be the case i ahve no idea

 

things were working fine before and i mean i haven't changed anything

 

but okay - i will redo the aerial connect

 

and like magic - WMC came to life!

 

and then - best of all - DVBViewer jump out at me in all it's glory!

 

technical stuff! some times we can so fixed on the techie answer

 

that the basic thing escapes us.

 

i'm looking forward to learning how to use DVBViewer.

 

thanks for listening.

Just for your information, you dont need to install any codecs. Win 7 have them build in

[tablaman]

yeah ...

 

thanks ...

 

as i tried to explain - looking for the 'technical' answer

 

rather than a simple answer

 

can get one in a real tight corner

 

DVBViewer is working great now and it IS what i was looking for

 

thanks for your reply

True, though some (myself included) have slightly better results with other codecs.
