Hi - I'm hoping for some pointers on how to resolve the following problem:
I'm running TV Headend (from the Pulse Eight repository) on Xubuntu 11.10. I have two USB DVB tuners installed:
1 x Hauppauge WinTV Duet
1 x PCTV Systems DVB-T2 290e nanoStick HD
I am able to add muxes for SD channels to any of the three available tuners (2 x DiBcom 7000PC and 1 x Sony CXD2820R) and get all available channels (UK, Crystal Palace). I am also able to add the mux for HD content to the Sony CXD2820R which correctly finds the four available HD channels. However when viewing these channels using XBMC (Windows x64 11.1 build from Pulse Eight) the image is of very poor quality with 4 or 5 blocky horizontal bands. SD channels look as expected. HD content being served from files held on the same backend as is running TV Headend is also fine.
I'm not sure where to go next as everything works, just not usefully in the case of DVB-T2 HD content. I'd prefer not to have to try setting up MythTV as an alternate backend although I can see that that might help identify if the problem is OS / hardware / TV server app.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
