I've never really had that much success with HD channels on Freeview, although it seemed more stable with live TV rather than HD recordings. For me (I think! I tend not to bother trying most of the time!), I get both video and audio but after a while the video will freeze but the audio carries on. If I play back an HD recording, this will probably happen after a couple of minutes or so. Due to this, I didn't really both trying again until recently! I gave it another go when the olympics was on and BBC 1 HD played live fairly happily for hours on end. Every now and then the video would freeze but this could be fixed by switching to another channel and back (audio carries on quite happily otherwise!). The time between video freezes seems to be random so could be caused by an error in the stream that cannot be corrected, or something like that?! Every now and then, I update xineliboutput + libxine + ffmpeg to the latest cvs / hg / git source (and I can never remember which is which version control system!). I'm currently on all of those from near the end of July. I keep hoping it will suddenly just work but it hasn't really changed much in this respect that I can see. Also with vdr-1.7.29. For SD recordings it is much more stable although skipping multiple times in quick succession usually locks it up and requires vdr-sxfe to be restarted! It's a bit of a pain but I've (nearly?!) learned to live with that! Laz ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
