Hi, I have a Pinnacle PCTV DVB-S2 Stick (461e) and did connect it to a cubox-i running openelec. The known issues on http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_DVB-S2_Stick_%28461e%29 seem to be gone (at least I did not hit them). Instead there seems to be another (new?) issue, that HD streams have artefacts, see http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=220129 and https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/19582?r=19584#message-19584 I tried to add that to the wiki, but my registration attempt was rejected. Can somebody with write access to http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Pinnacle_PCTV_DVB-S2_Stick_%28461e%29 please add the new issue? Certainly any hint how to solve this issue is welcome.
I added a comment on the tvh forum - will paste here as well in case anyone is interested - You could try spinning up you cpu(s) with nice -19 dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/null If you have multiple cores maybe start more than one. I have a couple of DVB-T2 PCTV sticks and got some usb/power save/xhci issues on my h/w. Above would mostly fix. Rather than do that I found that the issue was far less if I disabled USB3 in bios to avoid using the xhci driver. Of course your issue may be totally different - but it's worth a try. Your symptoms do point to ts packet loss - which I know from my experience can be at usb level. There are posts on here from the past where people with PCIE cards also had to do similar. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
