Freeview Pixellation on certain channels
Hi All
I have my mediacenter setup as my main TV with two Compro T100 freeview tuners installed.
When I first installed everything it worked perfectly, all 100 odd channels were crisp and worked perfectly.
Then I had a problem with my antenna and I lost a few channels either saying "No TV Signal for this channel" or the picture is heavily pixellated and the audio stuttering.
I have been troubleshooting it on and off for the last few weeks getting more and more frustrated.
At present certain channels work perfectly, BBC1, BBC2, More4+1, Quest and a few shopping channels and other crap.
But the majority of "common" channels such as ITV, C4, C5, E4 etc are completely unwatchable due to pixelation and broken sound.
I have tested the signal strenth with another standalone freeview box, on which all channels work perfectly and show maximum signal strenth which makes sense considering I'm only about 5 miles from the UK's biggest transmitter.
Googling I found that some people suggested it was a codec or decoder issue, I used MCDU to change that which didn't help.
I suspected that maybe it was a driver issue or something that I had installed so last night I re-installed windows and have not yet installed anythign at all and the exact same problem has occured, BBC1 and 2 work perfectly, most others are useless.
Windows installed the drivers for the tuner cards so I haven't downloaded anything from the Compro website yet. I though I'd see what people on here thought first.
I haven't got the exact specs to hand but...
Xeon CPU
Onboard graphics (G41 Chipset)
Gigabyte motherboard
2x Compro T100 Tuners
4GB RAm
Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit (previous installation was 64bit)
Anyone have any suggestions?
