HD problems

[foefelken]

Problem 1 :

-----------

Last week no problems with watching following FTA HD-channels:

- Das Erste HD

- ZDF HD

- Arte HD

 

Now it does not work anymore

So i decided to check the channels with Transedit.

Transedit has no problems with finding en previewing the channels.

 

 

Problem 2 :

-----------

 

Also last week i bought a Aston Seca CAM and a TVV-subscription-card (TVV = TV-Vlaanderen).

After activation of the TVV-subscription, i started testing.

Result : all channels EXEPT the HD channels are working

The following HD channels should work with my subscription :

- Een HD

- Ketnet/Canvas HD

- VTM HD

 

Considering both problems :

---------------------------

I tested with different decoders like PowerDVD-10, ffdshow, etc... : the problems remain the same.

The strange thing is that the following HD-channels are working fine :

BBC HD, ITV HD, Einsfestival HD, Luxe TV HD, Anixe HD.

Even Sky 3D works fine.

 

There where no other programs or windows updates installed.

Today i re-installed the FireDTV Viewer downloaded from the Digital Everywhere website (BDA version).

 

Its the version : 091128_firedtv_setup_5_7.zip

 

Step 1 : in the decoder settings i only changed H264 to ffDshow

Step 2 : i scanned Astra 28.2 with a copy of the transponderlist from the DVBViewer PRO

 

Results :

---------

 

1) With FireDTV Viewer i can read my CAM data ; this is not possible in the DVBViewer PRO 4.5.0.0

2) With FireDTV Viewer the encrypted HD-channels "Een HD, Ketnet/Canvas HD and VTM HD" are working

 

Conclusion :

------------

 

1) TV-card, Aston Seca CAM and subscription card (TV-Vlaanderen) are working fine

2) There is a problem with DVBViewer PRO 4.5.0.0 because :

one) the CAM menu/page gives an empty screen

 

two) even after selecting different DirectX-decoders - including ffDshow - DVBViewer PRO 4.5.0.0 refuses to decode the above mentioned HD-channels

During the installation of DVBV, did you select the option for firedtv cards support?

 

Got a TVV subscription here and it works flawlessly with a floppyDTV-S2 card

Balky, thanks for the suggestions. Finally somebody that takes a moment to reply

 

Indeed, my floppydtv was NOT connected to the pc when i installed DVBViewer Pro.

I will re-install DVBViewer Pro with the floppydtv connected to the PC and see what happens.

 

However, i doubt this will be the solution.

 

Today i also scanned astra 19.2 and astra 28.2 with Digital Everywhere FireDTV Viewer to check the german and english hd-channels.

I did this with the same transponder-files i used for the DVBViewer Pro.

And gues what... al the german and english HD-channels also work fine with Digital Everywhere FireDTV Viewer

 

So, my conclusion is that there must be something wrong with either :

- the use of codecs by the different programs ; Digital Everywhere FireDTV Viewer <--> DVBViewer Pro 4.5.0.0

and/or

- your suggestion, the floppydtv must be connected while installing the DVBViewer Pro 4.5.0.0

 

Meanwhile, my hair is starting to fall out

Hello,

 

I have exactly the same problem with Swedish HD channels. I have not had problem with the previous versions of the DVBViewer.

I have solved my problem. What I did was to uncheck "Open hole transponder" i Hardware options. In the earlier version I had to have i checked.

 

Hopefully this help you to.

@Balky & @Alve

 

The suggestion of Balky (install again while FiteDTV is connected to the PC) worked however - during the install-procedure the program never asks anything about the hardware (as suggested by balky).

 

I think its a bug ! Because changing the to use codecs - in the OPTIONS-DIRECTX-tab did not change anything.

 

Thanks again @balky.
