well i got an hvr2200 yesterday and after a bit of mucking around i've got it close to sorted.
1. Located in Chch, after trying mediaportal (scanning all new zealand regions, or just the christchurch options)
i don't pick up any TV3/C4. anyone know why this may be?
2. System i'm running is as follows:
Gigabyte P31-DS3L mobo
Intel DC 2180
2x1GB DDR2-800
8600GT HDMI Out
HVR2200
installed fresh install of Vista HP after mucking around in XP,
installed Vista SP1, all windows updates, required .net frameworks.
Installed latest nvidia driver from nvidia.com, and any other drivers needed.
Installed Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 Ultra. Loaded PowerDVD and ensured Hardware Acceleration was ticked.
Installed MediaPortal and set it up using TV Server as per cranznz's guide.
Using Powerdvd 8 Ultra deluxe H.264 codec for H264, all other settings the same as the guide.
Now all channels (minus TV3/C4) are detected, TV1-TV7 all run fine, (occasional jerkiness) however when I try
view the FreeView HD Channel the picture is very jerky.
CPU Usage is minimal (5-10%) from what i've seen.
Is there something i have missed, or anything I could try? Is it possible I just don't have a good enough
signal? have a UHF Aerial on the roof, TV Reception is fine.
Any help appreciated. Not toooo fussed on getting TV3/C4, but would like to be getting smooth performance on
the channels I do have.
