Hi Oli, have you installed femon? Have you had a look at the perception level? What does it say? Is there a difference when tuning to SAT.1 (which is on the same stream like Pro7). One other thing that comes to my mind: Sat1 and Pro7 use 7.5MBit/s whereas ARD, ZDF and stuff use 15MBit, which can be a problem on poor network performance. I also use streamdev-server a lot, over my 802.11g WLAN .. with VLC on Vista already. I use it, to watch TV in my bedroom.

I am using streamdev-server on the VDR in the attic, and VLC as a frontend running downstairs on a WinXP or Ubuntu system. The problem is a totally distorted picture, like when I have thunderstorm outside with bad reception. Block artefacts etc. Sometimes it gets so bad, VLC quits from errors. The funny thing is, it is ONLY on some of the channels. -- Mit freundlichen Gr??en Peer Oliver Schmidt the internet company PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
