Hi Everyone,
Finally got round to getting my TBS 6981 DVB S2 tuner card for my htpc and so far so good apart from a couple of issues I hope someone or a few people can kindly help me out with.
I have the latest XBMCbuntu and nvidia OS running along with the latest frodo XBMC program. I have chosen TVheadend as my backend system mainly as it looked the easiest to install and configure.
As I previously mentioned things are going well but it appears I can't record a program on one channel and watch a program on another which my card supports so assume its a software configuration or am I wrong?
Has anyone had this problem before at all, not really sure where to start and have looked around on search engines and seems there are lots of comments relating to MediaPortal and MythTV which of course not what I am using.
The other issue I have is with performance. One is with changing channels in XBMC. It seems to stutter for 3 or 4 seconds and then carry on normal even with HD and standard definition channels. Again I really can't see how and where to solve this or am i just being stupid.
The other performance related issues is with HD channels. They look stunning compared to my Humax Foxsat box that I plan to get rid of in favour of my all in one XBMC media center. However when I watch match of the day, the motion of the ball seems blurred and if the camera is moving a lot again it sort of blurs but only softly. I also watched final score today and had live score ticker rolling and although text and graphics looks so crisp it blurs only slightly but enough to make your eyes squint.
I haven't messed with anything yet, but want to note that my XBMC movie collection mostly in MKV format has no issues ever either in 1080p or 720p playback. I can only assume its driver related but used the latest TBS drivers when setting up the system.
If anyone can help with this I would be most grateful.
Thanks
Ross
