Hi, there is a plugin Femon available - much nicer output! You should check it out! Then you have clear text messages. So, I'm no expert, but "ber" and "unc" must be zero (I'm sure you can have a look in wiki). So, as you see, you had some values there. This seems then to be a signal problem. Either your sat dish is not perfectly set up or you may have problems with v/h switching. Btw: I use femon plugin in vdr to adjust my dish. So how did you do?

SAT.1, RTL and Pro7 look good, all the time. > 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 have the ASTRA.HD channel running right now in the background (S19.2E-1-1088-21101) and it works perfect. Input-Bitrare according to VLC is ~ 19MBit. > 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 also use VOMP to connect Hauppauge MediaMVPs and they have the same problem with those channels. Do you know anything else, that ARD + ZDF have in common, that is different from Pro7 and RTL? Is it possible, I have plugged the cables wrong into the Multiswitch? Thanks for your help on a sunday afternoon :-) -- Best regards Peer Oliver Schmidt PGP Key ID: 0x83E1C2EA _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
