[QUOTE="nut, post: 144103, member: 176532"] Hello to all. I have installed the SkyStar 2 with latest driver and software, DVBViewer, from the Technisat website. All appeared ok but FTA. So I installed the latest version of ProgDVB (4.62.4) and other items for its root directory and can now access other channels as well. However, every 5 to 8 seconds the picture momentarily freezes - sometimes the sound also drops out. This occurs when using ProgDVB but not DVBViewer. Reading other posts and suggestions I tried the following, downgraded progDVB to 4.56.2 - no improvement changed priority setting of ProgDVB in task manager - no improvement killed all other background tasks - no improvement incresed timeshift file size - no improvement. I then performed a system restore to before any software related to the SkyStar had been installed and reinstalled the driver for the SkyStar pci. When I then installed ProgDVB it would not function stating 'device not started'. I came to the conclusion that I needed the setup/server4PC software installed to start the pci. I removed ProgDVB (again) and system restored. I installed the driver, setup/server4pc software and DVBViewer. At this point I noticed that although the picture and sound when using DVBViewer were fine, if I tried to play any MP3 files (Win Media player) they would also 'stutter' - system restore as before. Finally installed the driver, setup/server4pc software without DVBViewer and progDVB thinking DVBViewer may be the problem. Still stuttering. At this point, don't know why, I right clicked the setup/server4pc icon (bottom right of screen) and selected exit. This allowed ProgDVB to work with only the occassional blip every 5 - 10 mins or so. MP3 playback ok also. Sorry for the long winded account but can any one tell me where I have gone wrong? Does ProgDVB need Server/Setup4PC to initialise the pci? Many thanks in advance. P4 3.0Ghz 512 Ram XP Home sp1 Don't have any other details to hand. [/QUOTE]
