just sharing info here, seeing as there are loads of questions about this scattered about and are a pain to find answers.
To get BBC HD on SKYSTAR2 (and most other cards), i was messing about for ages and ended up buying a couple of peices of cheap software (£10 each) then everything just started working, with no messing.
1. CoreAVC 1.1 Pro from http://coreavc.corecodec.org/ (yes you need the PRO version for BBC's MBAFF malarky)
2. DVB Viewer GE, you must purchase DVB Viewer from http://www.dvbviewer.com and then download the GE version from the members area.
Install the pair of these, without any other h264 codecs installed (inc fddshow) to make sure you get no freezing and roberts ya fathers brother.
beware, you need some serious processing power for the MBAFF stuff, im on the edge with an A64 4000 * 2.5ghz, could do with a little more power really.
if there was a stable free way i'd do that, but this way is SO much simpler. i tried with the trial versions of powerdvd7 but the framerate was about 5fps down on coreavc.
hope this helps a few people.
