Hi all, I've been running 1.3.11 on an XP3, 1.7Ghz AMD machine with a Hauppauge 1600 card and have been pretty happy with it, especially on OTA HD channels. I use the HTPC for Live TV, recording, and DVD playback. But of course like most of us who have home built HTPCs, I'm always tweaking for just a little better picture.
I'm using ffdshow as the decoder for the OTA channels and the ATI MPEG decoder for the output from a Directv box (SD). I keep trying to match the output from gbpvr to the output straight out of the Directv box, but just can't quite get there with the ATI decoder so I thought I'd try ffdshow there as well. The picture was markedly better, but when I changed channels back to OTA, those channels lost audio/video sync and became very choppy. I tried as many of the tips for ffdshow setup that I could find in the forums, but nothing worked so I went back to the original ATI/ffdshow config and everything worked fine again. My question is, could using the same decoder for SD and HD channels cause that kind of problem?
Thanks for the info,
Dave
