Hi<br><br>I have a combined be/fe, running knoppmyth r5e50, with updated dvb drivers from around the middle of feb this year, and 3 freecom dvb-t usb tuners, and 1 pvr-150, and I have a couple of persistant and really annoying problems. I'm in the UK using freeview
<br><br>The first problem is that I get picture corruption on the freeview signal on the dvb-t tuners, it is really noticable on motion in the picture. I get the odd other artifact, and some audio glitchs, but it's mainly the corruption on motion which is a pain. I've got all the tuners on usb extension leads, well away from the PC. They all have short highly screened flyleads connecting each one to a seperate output on a multiple way signal amplifier. The antenna lead terminates as it comes through a window, and has a highly screened lead from that to the signal amp. By highly screened I have "digital" coax flyleads, and I have also tried flyleads made up from CT100 double screened cable.
<br><br>I get no interference on any of the analogue channels, or on either of the 2 freeview settop boxes also connected. This all started after I ran a reinstall, so I don''t think it's an antenna or cable fault to be honest, as it's too much of a coincidence. All freeview channels get an immediate lock using live TV, and experience has shown that live tv ( for some reason ) seems to be fussier than recording alone.
<br><br>I did change to a different motherboard and case, but I have had it working great since then, with r5e50 as well. I have also ran through the upgrade 2 or 3 times as well.<br><br>I have ran though every thing I can think of.
<br><br>The second is with the pvr-150 which is hooked up to a cable box via comp-video. the cable box is set to 16:9, the recording profile for the card is set to 16:9. When I test the output from the box on the tv, it displays 16:9, but when I play any recordings or use live tv on that card it is 4:3 with black bars when I have no aspect ratio forced, freeview recordings are 16:9. It is fine when I force the aspect, but I'd rather not do that as it messes up the dvd playback. Any ideas?
<br><br>thanks<br><br>Gary<br>
