It just stays silent with the picture frozen on the previous channel, or No signal. Any ideas? The plot thickens. I've done some more tests. I used hdvb to record samples of BBC 1 HD, ITV1 HD and Channel 4 HD. MPlayer can play all of them. It tells me BBC is 1440x1088, the others are 1920x1088. All appear to be interlaced. BBC appears fine on my HTPC/TV, with sxfe configured for vdpau with bob deinterlacing. On a remote PC running sxfe (onboard Intel graphics, so no vdpau) I could see interlacing artifacts, probably because I configured deinterlacing off in VDR's OSD (see below). ITV plays too slowly in sxfe on the HTPC. The graphics card is only an 8200 so I tried reconfiguring .xine/config_xineliboutput to use xv and turned off deinterlacing (see above). It didn't seem to make any difference, but the CPU is a 2.4GHz Athlon x2, so it should be fast enough. It was with MPlayer, and so was the other PC (a somewhat faster Core i5 2500k) with vdr-sxfe. Channel 4 won't play at all in sxfe on either PC, but does in MPlayer. ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

If so, which version, what sources? I dropped using it because it crashed my VDR every now and then, therefore I missed to record Episode 6/7 of the Top Gear Series 18 which just ended this weekend on BBC HD... On this 6th episode the BBC folks also surprisingly (for me) rescheduled the repeat on Thursday, I've always thought they are on Mondays or Wednesdays... Do you British folks, or more generally, Freesat viewers know of any working alternatives to the EEPG plugin for the channels on S28.2E?
