I have finally sorted out the LCD screen on my Antec case, i was missing one of these:įrom the dodgy pic above, you can now see the case is operating as expected. I also have a 5th DVBT tuner which is included in the 4400 tuner, so in the process of getting that cabled up so I can get RTE2 HD! better get my act in gear for the world cup. cccam 2.1.4 will fix thsi for me if i ever get around to installing it.

HDTV MEDIACENTER UPDATE

I'm still running cccam CCcam_2.1.2 & newCS1.67, too lazy to update the dreambox as its working ok.however my entitlements are not auto-updating to I have to pop the sky card back into my sky box once every 2 months or so to update the entitlements. Not really using the dreambox tuner, but have it connected to the dish 24/7 regardless. So, at the moment I have 5 tuners, 4 dedicated to $ky sub & FreeSat, 3 of which can handle the HD channels, the 4th tuner is from the dreambox, so a extra tuner for all freesat and SD $ly sub.

so, I bought more internal tuners, heres what I have now:ġ * Hauppauge 1342 WinTV-HVR-4400 TV Tuner PCIe I scrapped the USB DVBS2 tuner, all sorts of issues with it not coming out of sleep. Hello All, long time no update! Ok, so have gone thru a fairly big update with the HTPC. if you want glitch free playback of your BluRay & all other HD mkv's - use XBMC EDEN

if you want glitch free playback of your BluRay (.iso) use TMT5 in W7MC I was a little bummed by this as I was hoping to use W7MC as my complete solution, but I was never going to scrap XBMC anyway. And there is no beta releases of XBMC EDEN that can handle HD Audio codecs (some not all afaik) - so the long term is in the works.

XBMC has the option to sync the display to the refresh rate of the movie you are watching.

iso format, which brings up other issues, and there is NO FIX for any of the other. If you use TMT5 then you Blu Rays have to be in. Leaving the HTPC constantly at 24hz is a no-no because it looks shit, so I have to find a solution for this.įr media center, if you are planning archiving all you're movies & using mymovies.dk plugin, which most do, the ONLY solution to this issue is to use TMT5. To prove & get a better understanding of the issue, open your graphic card and set the refresh rate to 24hz, windows will now look & feel slow & ugly, then play back a film you know well. Once I started archiving the blurays this became a real issue for me because I wanted to achieve 100% perfect HD audio & video playback on the HTPC, and I was running into this bug, so my HTPC would not playback a blu ray as 'good' as standard blu ray players. basically the movie playback rate of 23 to 24 fps conflicts with 50 or 60 hz on the graphic card, the result of this is ever now & again, you will see a slight stutter in the picture when watching a movie, ever so slight, but it bugs the hell out of me! where the problem occurs is that all movies are between 23 to 24 fps, so this is the 50/24 bug you may of seen talked about on the forums, and I'm only getting my hear around it now. Our trusty graphic cards only output at 50 or 60hz, still looks goods when played thru the HDTV. Most TV's now are 100hz + the higher the better, that's not the problem tho.

However, once you get into archiving (that's another days work) & library playback of blu ray & other HD content, to the trained eye, all is not always well. If you put a bog standard blu ray player, all will look well and life is good. HD content looks great on a big setup right? I love it, good to show off to the friends & neighbours -) However, not all setup are right for playing back completely smooth HD content, regardless of how powerful the htpc is.
