Blimp Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) This is not a DVBViewer problem but a Technisat problem. And maybe just a Cablestar problem, or a regular problem of the B2C2 chip. But when my card is noted tuned, like after a system startup or during a channel scan. My system freezes for a second after every 3 or 4 seconds. During a ‘freeze’ the mouse stops moving and when playing an audio file the sounds stops. Extremely irritating. Are there more people with this problem, I tried sticking the card in another slot. But that didn’t help. Edited October 21, 2004 by Blimp Quote Link to comment
Hartwig Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Which driver version do you use. It might be a problem of the 4.2.11. Many people reportet of such problems with the 4.2.11 But I don't know if the 4.2.8 will work with a CableStar. If you need a download link for the 4.2.8, look here (the second link from the top) http://www.DVBViewer.com/forum/index.php?s...?showtopic=4425 Quote Link to comment
Blimp Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 Thanks for your quick response, but to bad that didn't work. The same problem with version 4.2.8 I'm still waiting for a response from technisat.... Quote Link to comment
Guest Lars_MQ Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Have you disconnected all network protocols from the card? and close the setup4pc and the server4pc program and delete them from autostart. they are not needed for the DVBViewer. lars Quote Link to comment
Klausing Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 i had nearly the same problem with an old raid controller. Do you had a look at your system logs? I've got the message that the harddisk device was not fast enough after istallation of this card. Steffen Quote Link to comment
Blimp Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 (edited) Systems log reports nothing. I liked the tip of removing all network connections, but that also didn't help. I received this answer from Technisat: Hello, please replace the 4.2.11 with the 4.3.0 that is available beginning next week. Note: Does it happen too if Server4Pc is tuned to a valid channel after start up/boot process? I guess not. Regards Support Team Lets hope version 4.3.0 holds the answer.. I'll let you know, thanks for your support! Edited October 23, 2004 by Blimp Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 (edited) Lets hope version 4.3.0 holds the answer.. Better read this first Update: A user in the German forum reported that he got good results with the new driver and the old TechniSat software. Be careful: The new TechniSat software should contain the Sonic Videodecoder, but the download version doesn't - only available on CD (a licence thing). So if you uninstall the previous version, you may end up without a videodecoder. Edited October 23, 2004 by Griga Quote Link to comment
boborg Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I've suddenly experienced a similar problem but I have been running the 4.2.11 drivers for a long time without problems. What happens is that wave. mp3, mpeg audio etc. is played back poorly. It sort of stutters. If I open DVBViewer and close it again I can again play wave. mp3, mpeg audio etc. without problems. Must be an IRQ thing right? Will try to move the card to anther slot. Just strange that I haven't changed anything or added new hardware and suddenly this happens. Quote Link to comment
boborg Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Well I ended up trying the 4.2.8 drivers and problem solved. But it puzzles me because I've been running 4.2.11 for a long time without problems. Quote Link to comment
Klausing Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 maybe your problem was not the driver it was a decoder problem which solved through fresh installet DVDExpress Decoders which come with this driver... Quote Link to comment
boborg Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I only updated Skynet.sys through device manager. Quote Link to comment
