DVBdream setup guide



1. get & install the latest drivers for your dvb card

2. get & install the latest dvbdream (at this time its 1.4i) dont launch yet

3. decide which emulater u will use (emunation or v-plug) then extract it & install v-plug or just place the files for emunation in C:/dvbdream/plugins/pip00 & any other pip's (picture in picture) u may be using.... i think it supports up to 19 all of which u can watch & record at the same time (if ur pc is good enough) they have to be off the same transponder

4. install microsoft visual c++2005 sp1 redistributable package (x86).url (comes with emunation)

5. open C:/dvbdream & drag & drop pcthreadVC2.dll (comes with emunation) file to that folder


6. get & install whatever codecs (k-lite codec packs & others are available) u wish to use (i use elecard for pip & cyberlink for watching, ac3audio, & video renderer9) different codecs play quite differently (some may not play at all)... elecard is not as good of pic but supports PIP playing, cyberlink is a very good pic but no PIP support


7. open dvbdream.... first screen pick ur card... next screen pick ur switch & set ur sats, settings should be LOF settings LNB type ku universal, lof1 9750000, lof sw 11700000, lof2 11250000 rest leave default settings on this screen (this is for legacy or dave LNB settings), click on port 1 & add satellite set it for 119 (drop down screen), port 2 set it for 110 (d!sh net setup) hit ok... next screen set record format to mpg & put a check in customize settings for North America, fill out user name if u wish & hit ok... next screen leave default & hit ok... next screen set ur codecs (cyberlink or elecard, ac3filter, video mixing renderer9, sound card name, coreAVC H.264, these are my settings currently) hit ok... this opens dvbdream... after a pause (30 to 45 seconds) a button will appear in the bottem right hand corner of dvbdream saying scan it will flash, hit it..... scan each sat that u have... let keys roll & watch tv on ur pc

Micro Freezing fix



C/P...

This is an issue with XP and I believe it's SP2 that started the problem. MS has a patch for DVB cards in their download links. It stopped all the micro freezing for me. No matter what plugin or program I use.

Update for Windows XP (KB896626)

Brief Description
An issue has been identified with your Windows-based system that may cause problems when a DirectShow TV tuner program is tuned to receive a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) video stream on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2. You can resolve this issue by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

SYMPTOMS
You may experience the following symptoms when a DirectShow TV tuner program is tuned to receive a Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) video stream on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP 2):


• The TV tuner program stops responding.
• The TV tuner program displays stuttering or corrupted video.


CAUSE
This problem occurs if a table section in the Program Specific Information (PSI) table that is embedded in the digital TV signal stream exceeds 255 bytes. In this scenario, the Psisdecd.dll DirectShow component does not process the PSI table correctly
