Hi

I decided to replace my Current tv software with DVB Viewer which installs and finds all the Freeview Stations.
The problem is when I try and view any channels I get a error Invaild Pointer

Screenshot here




Is this a common problem or am I doing something wrong.


Cheers Andrew

I had this when I first started using it. Change the renderer to VMR9 or EVR.

Also make sure you select a correct H.264 codec software.

I thought I should still share how I solved this very same problem, by running C:\Program Files\DVBViewer\Filters\Register_DVBSource.exe
and problem solved.
