99.5 Crashes watching sat channels

Would the Twinhan utils be worth a try?

I doubt it would work, but you could give it a try. Its half way down this page: http://www.twinhan.com/download_driver&software.asp

No joy - no device found. What about using something like VLC to do the capture?

[sub]

Maybe, I dont know.

I deleted and recreated the capture source - now it gives an error when I try to map the channels - "GBPVR was unable to start the BDA device....". Logs attached.

I managed to grab a stream using My Theater. Do you want me to try uploading it - it's about 2MB.

Unfortunately I'd need a minimum of about 50MB. To put this into context - 4MB is usually about one second of transport stream recording. You wont be able to upload a file that big to the GB-PVR forums, so you'd either need to have access to your own webserver, or use a sevice like http://www.sendspace.com.

You'd also need to make sure its a full transport stream, not one where mytheatre is recording a transport stream only contain the audio/video stream of one channel. Some apps produce these, so I thought I better mention it. The would most likely have stripped out the problem data.

Sub, still have no joy with recording a transport stream. What I have done is reinstalled from scratch and changed a couple of things: I had been using the default LNB frequencies, which were wrong - I got the correct ones from My Theatre. Also, I downloaded the updated ini file for my satellite (Astra 2d) from http://joshyfun.cjb.net/.
However, when I try to map channels in config it crashes on the first channel. Occasionally it will show a few seconds of video before it crashes. I have attached the latest logs in case it is of any help.
Do you know if anyone has got this card working with this satellite?

Sorry, but I'd really need this transport stream to look into this.

All my efforts with Google have only tured up Linux utilities that can capture full ts streams. Anyone intersted in a cheap Nova-S Plus card?
