Skip forward during playback freezes video then audio

[smiffypr]

I have just bought a DVB-T USB dongle to watch "freeview" in New Zealand. It came with ArcSoft TotalMedia, but that has several problems associated with recording, so I am trying GB-PVRv1.3.11. Recording is working fine, but....

When I attempt to play a recorded programme with PVRX2 it will start to play, video and audio are fine and in sync.
If I skip (using remote or mouse) the picture freezes, the audio skips forwards then stops after a couple of seconds.
If I press pause twice, the picture sometimes catches up, but freezes again, the audio plays for a couple of seconds again.
If I repeat this, it repeats the same couple of seconds of audio.
If I repeat pause enough times, it might just start playing sound and video again.

I have tried all the different video and audio decoder option (but not all the possible combination).

If I play the same recording with ArcSoft TotalMedia (which came with my DVB-T tuner), it will play perfectly, including skipping forwards or backwards, FFW and REW. To me this shows that the recording is fine and that the hardware is up to the job.

Uninstalling TotalMedia makes no difference.

Any suggestions for how I can get PVRX2 playing properly?

FWIW, I'm having the exact sme problem. I'm curious if you found a solution.
Thanks.

After playing around a bit, what seems to have worked for me is removing sub's latest updates to the 1.3.11 release, and going back to the files that came with it. So, I think that my problem started when I applied the updates in the current release's support thread. I downgraded, and things are back to working well for me. I'm using:
Video Decoder: CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7)
Audio Decoder: MPA Decoder Filter
AC3 Decoder: System Default
Audio Decoder: System Default.

I've still got a problem where signals recorded with poor signal quality can show completely out of timelines. But the updates didn't solve this problem anyway. So going back (downgrading) didn't cause me any issues.

At the time I gave up using GB-PVR for playback (continued using it to record though) and used the arcsoft app for playback. Arcsoft decoders seemed to force themselves on other apps though, so as soom as PowerDVD 10 came along with .ts support I started using that. Now I have upgraded from GB-PVR to N-PVR, and all the above problems are solved.
