Media Center - No/Weak TV signal for HD channels

[takerfan]

I just installed dvblink for dvbdream and it seems to be working great except 1 thing, I can't view any HD channels.
Well, about 2 work but none of the others work. All the standard def channels I've tried so far work perfectly.

For the HD channels, windows media center says "no tv signal" and sometimes it changes to "weak tv signal" but if I try the channel on dvbdream it works just fine and changing the channel to another HD channel on windows media center also changes on dvbdream like it's supposed to but again MCE displays that message.

I can view the channel just fine on VLC of MPC so it's not a problem with my satellite set up.

Edit: I have found some standard def channels that have the same problem.

Other users have reported the same problem. I am looking at this issue.

I know you asked for a capture before, but I was unavailable to help with this. Is this something you still need to help debug this?

Thanks!

I think I've got a solution to the problem. Can anyone try these files?

1. Copy the .dll to your DVBLink for DVBDream source's directory
2. Copy the .mod to your source's module

Also, if anyone manage to get EPG data from the stream (not the Media Center official EPG) in Media Center with this, let me know.

Tried it, no change. (Rebooted after applying the patches). Anyone else got it working?

Some channels that were getting weak tv signal are working now, but I still have others that say "Weak TV Signal". I'll generate another dump file tonight.

I am now getting the "No TV Signal" error on ALL channels after a period of time. After a restart everything is fine but within a few hours it all starts again. VLC with DVBDream is fine all the time. Just restarting the DVBlink server doesn't help either.

I forgot to mention that I am still on the old version..... I have not tried the beta yet but I think I am gonna strip out my entire system and start with a fresh install of DD 1.4 and the V2 beta.... I will report back if there has been any sucess. I wasn't having this problem at all until about two or three weeks ago so I'm pretty sure it's my set-up and not related to DD or Dvblink for DD.

[fredx21]

Ho, yeah I was sure you were on the new version. Try the latest beta and let me know.

[papirov]

anyone besides me has any other feedback on the latest beta? anyone got the low signal/no signal to go away with latest beta?

Help!

I'll be trying it out this weekend and will update this thread.

So I did a fresh install of DD 1.4, Dvblink server 3.1 with DVBLink for DVBDream 2.0 Beta 1 and everything is working swimmingly! Not a single bump or glitch so far. Very happy man here.
