HDTV over DVB-S, codecs and lot of troubles!

[mikeflight]

Hi guys!

I´m a new user of DVBDream and I´m really happy with its job. I think that it will be the soft that I always use with my ss-2.

I´ve got the equipment that you see at the bottom of my post and I´m tryin´ to watch some HDTV channels vía the differents satellites that I can watch in Spain.

With the Astra Promo HD I have no problems, but I can´t do anything with CANAL AD via Hispasat 30ºw, or with any version of Luxe TV vía the different satellites that broadcast it.

Could anybody tell me exactly the codecs that I need and how to register them and activate it to work? Cause I have tried with Elecard, with Cyberlink that installs PowerDVD 7, with CoreAVC H.264, and I can´t get no image!

I hope your help

Thanks 4 all!

Are you sure you able to view the channels you are having trouble with? Encrypted?

LuxeTV HD is a FTA channel broadcasted in H.264, so it should be viewable with CoreAVC or Cyberlink PDVD H.264 codecs.

But, it also appears that DD doesn't deal very fine with DualCore CPU.

Try to toggle option "Prevent usage of the more than one CPU" in preferences > General.

Luxe TV HD works good with CoreAVC H.264 here.
