Hi,

Recently, "Luxe TV HD" and "HD Visio" channels are launched on Badr 4 (Arabsat) satellite, and today I was playing around trying to get them to work and I did, sort of.

System Specs:
- GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 board.
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU.
- 4GB SuperTalent DDR2-800 RAM.
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB Video card with latest drivers.
- 2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB in RAID0.
- Windows Vista Ultimate x64.

And...

- LifeView FlyDVB Trio (latest drivers).
- ProgDVB Professional (registered) and CyberLink H264 codec (VMR9).

HD channels play fine for 10 seconds or so, and then the video lags and skips, although audio is playing fine. If I record the stream, the resulted TS file perfectly plays in Windows Media Player without any skipping or slowdown! CPU load when playing/recording HD channels never goes above 45%

I'm 99% sure this is not a codec related problem, since the same codec I use in ProgDVB is the one I use for media player playback, could it be a ProgDVB bug? could it be my card is not good enough for HD (though it records HD channels very good)? what else I can try?

Please share your experience in HD channels and what hardware you use.

Your help is highly appreciated,
Thank you.

Do you sure in signal quality?

Positive, signal and quality is always at 90%

The thing is, it records HD very smoothly, but why it can't play it? while the TS file also plays in Windows Media Player just fine.

Thanks.
