The solution to the problem was so simple. How come, in seven months, no developer of DD ever read this thread? Should we even bother posting in feature requests?

You could try deleting/renaming eitparser.dll, I'm not sure if that'll cause a problem in dream or not. I'm trying this now and it looks good so far. For example, even after implementing the earlier suggestion to unselect "Options -> Preferences -> Localization : Customize settings for North Americ...

The "problem" with the new version is that it supports extended EPG data. That data comes down very quickly (as high as a few thousand events per second). To try and process all that data takes quite a bit of CPU time on an older machine. If you're using DVBEPG as your EPG, you can select the optio...

I did not bother to answer because I did not notice any increase in CPU usage between the different versions of DDream although I monitor it very carefully!... I do not know why you are suffering from this. I think that the great majority of DD users have never had the problem you describe so nobod...

You can not select "Options -> Preferences -> Localization : Customize settings for North America" on a daily basis. Then, if you need to scan the channels then select the option for you to use "NA Fast Scan". This is just a trick to this version. But it works. Thanks for this suggestion. It looks ...

Are there any thoughts about this? I mean, 1.4i uses five times the CPU cycles as 1.4h for an EPG list I, and maybe other people, never use,and I'd really like to be able to upgrade from 1.4h.

option to disable channel search box (or fix)

With 1.4i, I find that frequently, and for no apparent reason, when I shift the focus to DD the cursor is inside the channel search box. I don't use the channel search, and only ever switch to the app to change the channel or adjust the volume via the number pad. But since the focus ends up in the s...

turn off EPG processing to save a lot of CPU cycles

I posted this at DVBN, but I guess it's more appropriate here. With 1.4i my CPU usage has gone from 5-10% on all channels to 25-35% on most of the channels I tune to, including Sirius radio channels. People say this is because the channels that are on the same tp as the 9-day EPG will now eat up the...

HD channels not scanning

My SD transponder scans worked fine. I've double-checked my settings with the info at hxxp://www.lyngsat.com/hd/110west.html but only the 4 HD channels on transponder 12311 actually scan in. My frequency, polarity, symbol rate, FEC, and modulation are all set correctly, but manually scanning transpo...

the email address I want to use has been banned

I want to use an email address from my own server, whose domain I own (but I don't want to post the domain name on the forum). Registration kept rejecting any email address I created this forum as banned, so I used a hotmail address to register. I tried switching from the hotmail address to my own d...
