0 byte recordings with twinhan card

[wedgie]

so your saying that prime and c4 are FTA on optus b1?
http://www.lyngsat.com says that there is only tvnz?

I think he is mistaken. They're on B1, but only as part of the encrypted Sky channels. There is rumours that we'll soon see them added though.

Weird - I just checked again and you are right. They must have been testing FTA transmission of Prime when I first got my card, because I went through all the available channels then and could definitely get Prime as well as 1,2,Maori etc. On subsequent re-installations I have just assumed that it was still available, so maybe that is part of my dvb problems.

I get 0 bytes recordings all the time. My card is also a Twinhan DVB-C and I'm using the latest BDA Drivers from Twinhan 1.2.3.4. Is this an known issue or am I doing something wrong?

This may not really belong to this topic, but what is this all stuff about correct MUX and correct MPEG-2 decoder. Why on earth does a DVB-stream needed to be decoded if you do not intend to do anything else with it than record it? Have I missunderstood something?

I also get an error: Failure playing back file during timeshift.

What is needed to get get programs recorded and programs timeshifted?

The playback itself works wonderfully. I've used InterVideo for playback decoder.

It doesnt need an MPEG2 decoder to record, but it does need a mux, which is responsible for taking the seperate audio and video stream from the DVB transports stream and 'mux' them into a regular .mpg file.

Post the output of MuxChecker on your machine.

Thank you for clearing things up for me.

Output from muxchecker:

GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
FILE: C:\WINDOWS\system32\MpgMux.ax
VERSION: 5.0.0727



If you're running WinXP SP1 or higher, you will also be able to use the built-in DVR-MS mux filter

When you say "I get 0 bytes recordings all the time.". Do you literally mean EVERY time, or just often?
