Autograph Settings for Voom HD Channels?

Hello,

I'm trying to view the Voom HD channels on E*3 which are using the 8 Turbo PSK, I have a Skywalker-1 which can decode this (it works for other channels) but seems the settings I have for the Voom channels don't quite work right (freezes up a lot, or sometimes video just doesn't show). I have no problem watching other HD MPEG4 channels. The current settings I have are as follow:

Video Codec: ATI (Tried Cyberlink as well same problem)
Audio Codec: Intervideo (Sound seems to work fine on it's own)
Video Render: Video Mixing Renderer (Tried Generic and Overlay Video Renderers with same problem)
Audio Renderer: Default Direct Sound Device
H.264 Codec: CoreAVC H.264 (Also tried the ATI one)

Can anyone suggest other settings or codecs to download and try? Is anyone else experiencing the same problems with the Voom HD Channels in MPEG4?

Thanks!

count me in: DN HD mpeg4 channels on 110w (like HDPPV) are stuttering and in literally seconds lose A/V sync and freeze to a halt/DD hung/or even WinXP reboots. DN/Bev HD mpeg2 plays just fine with Purevideo, stutters a little only with the quality renderer like VMR9.
I'm waiting for my MSI HD2600 XT to arrive soon though, yet there's lots of questions I need to know the answers to, even for what I have now -- ATi X1300:

1. I yet to see ANY of mpeg4 codecs among "Active DS filters" in DD, no matter how many of them I registered in Radlight DS Filter Manager, or whatever merits were allowed to them, so what is your guids.ini file looks like, especially in H.264 section? They say CoreAVC 1.5.0.0 or later has dramatically improved mpeg4 rendering and lowered CPU load, did you try it?

2. Unlike DD, TSReader is able to parse PAFF mpeg4/H.264 streams correctly, so there must be a lesser load/more mpeg4 codecs working smoother while in TSReader. For me, the real tragedy struck when DVBN site went down yesterday exactly at the time I was looking for ideas to marry em**ation with it -- if there's even possibility of such marriage. vpl** 1.8.2 just don't work for DN for me, even with the fresh working sof***m.k*y imported from DD, drat! Anyway, vpl** was always lousy importer of softcam. key file, by the pure chance, if you use vpl** can you PM me your working v_keys.db or whatever needed. I just don't believe it can autoroll DN as it didn't for like an hour.

3. I signed for DD beta here believing somebody reading all these requests and sends out those freshest, tailored for hardest mpeg4 streams betas of DD. Didn't get anything yet. What version, or maybe beta of DD do you use? Are there any DD distributions/betas tailored for NA out there?

Sorry I couldn't answer your questions, and with CuriousContraptions/DVBN all down I even can't direct you to their gurus who know how to solve these problems.
