This is a bit of an odd one as I thought this was signal strength however now i'm not sure.
I have 2 x Freeview digital tuners, Freecom TV stick and Nova-T PCI and this morning I tried playing back live TV and it was very blocky, frequently kept playing the same segment over and over so I bumped up the pre play delay to the maxium of 2000(ms). No improvement, I tried other values all without change. It was unwatchable.
Now given that the live playback is just a playback of a recording, I then did this manually by going into the EPG, pressed the record button, then went and found the video being recorded and started to play that back and it played back fine, no problems.
The only difference that I can see is that it would have taken me more than 2 seconds to go and find the recorded file to play that back so why the hard coded limit of 2sec max?
Any suggestions?
