Help Please! - I have an issue where DBVViewer v4.0 randomly stops and closes when I’m watching TV.

Seems to make no difference whether I am changing channels, time shifting or just watching. – has anyone seen this happening and if so how can I fix it? – on a 64bit Vista PC with Blackgold 6-1 card.

Some standard questions: have you disabled antivirus, anti-spyware software (not much use for these if it's a media centre only PC)?

Have you installed the latest video drivers for your card?

All Windows Updates installed?

Sounds like a licensing issue.

If you bought it get in touch with the DVBViewer guys, their customer support is pretty good.

If you got if from somewhere else, there is a well known issue that causes it to crap out after 10 minutes.  If it that its very hard to fix, about the only way I know is to buy it...

what a load of twaddle . i can speak from personal experience .
i am using dvbviewer4.0 and now the 4.0.1. 55 beta running w7 os . i thought that the reason dvbviewer was crashing was the p2p copy of 3.9.20 i was using so i b ought a legit copy of 4.0 and still the same problem.
i have since found out that windows sidebar effects dvbviewer somehow.

What I said is correct - the cracked copies of DVBViewer have many issues, of which the timeout bug is one.  I also speak from personal experience.

I didn't say it was the only reason it was crashing, hence the comment to use the DVBViewer support forums.

You should learn to read before shooting your mouth off...
