Hi everyone,
i have a generic Chinese made DVB-S (intex legend) (advanced USB 2.0 DVB-S TV Box)
everything works fine but i have few problems:
1. when changing channel some of channel don't load until i randomly select other channel and then go back to not working channel which then work.
2. during watching a channel for a period of time (10-15)min. then lagging and loss of video and audio occur (signal still good) so i have to change channel and go back in order to regain normal play.
any suggestions are welcomed.
thanks in advance.

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Satellite: Nilesat
Plugins: none

Try start ProgDVB with /Debug key. Any messages?

thanks for reply
and excuse my question, i'm new to this program.
how can i start progdvb with debug??
thanks

From command line.

For example, if installed into C:\ProgDVB, then change into that folder, then type in
ProgDvbNet.exe /debug

You may as well create a copy of your desktop or start menu icon, edit it's properties by adding /debug there.

many thanks.
i started progdvb debug mode and it shows video render error, the error is corrected by changing codec.
now only problem i have is if i play a channel for a time (say 4-10 min.) the play become interrupted and lagging and resolved within few seconds, the only problem debug filter shows is packet errors - Dropped start to count up until lagging resolved.
what does that means, poor signal?? our DVB-S device problem?
i appreciate your response.

Probably bad signal.

There may be differences between MPEG2 or h.264 codecs in poor quality behaviour. Those intended to be used with DVD / Blueray players normally don't have to be able to handle lots of bad packets in the stream, while DVB-S / S2 signals often come in weak and distorted, on tiny or badly aligned dishes.
Commercially produced disks normally don't produce many bad packets, as their error correction routines are pretty good, and their data stream quality should not go below a certain threshold, that still allows proper decoding.
From the sky, things are a bit different, as there's no lower limit of quality, if a cheapo small piece of rusty tin is tangling in the winds...
Generally, digital satellite signals should be received with close to 100% of quality. A bigger dish and / or perfect alignment should do that job.
Else you may want to try another codec, to find out, if it's more error tolerant.
