i use CC* to open Scrambled HD Channels

the problem is signal is quite weak about 35-45% and strength ranges 65-75%
but the normal channels are working properly but once i switch to HD channels
it last about 10 minutes or less then Freezes showing multipbe scrambles before total freeze
and the video buffer bar shows RED and rises till crashes
HD channels are using H.264 and i am using nvidia pure video codec and sometimes Elecard
FFDshows for h.264 codec with enhanced video renderer

jitter shows 0 in SD channels but may rise to 85ms in HD channels
h.264 buffer size is 32MB tried increasing to 320MB same issue ,
tried lowering to 8MB worked fine little but but same issue arises again

T.breaks may be 2 times and packet losses increasing above 200 and DS is thousands

note : i didn't get what DS ( directshow -reset ) is about ??? if someone explains please

any ideas about how to fix this issue

you have too many packet losses and maybe nvidia codec can't cope up with that.
try to increase signal levels -better dish/antenna or fine tune antenna.
or try other codecs to see if any works better

directshow reset - resets part of DVB dream instead of whole program. it is video/audio subsystem.

Another solution might be to set DD to renderless mode and wach in VLC (im doing this on one of my older mashines as wachin directly in DD causes random restarts- buggy graphics driver i assume)
Its not ideal but in most cases VLC can resume playback ater heavy packet loss
Another story is if Your CC* will freze in such conditions or not.
