version 5 does not work with directv serial

[nickmpower]

Version 5.04 or whatever does not work with my directv. Anything that can be done about this? version 4 works fine


also, how can i get it so its not recording everytime a view a channel?

and is there a guide somewhere for optimizing FFdshow with sage?

it automatically records everytime you watch live TV so you can pause / rewind / ffwd if you want to. why would you want to disable one of the best features of this software?

Contact support or file a bug report about it.

There may be more info in this thread.

Are you talking about the signal you are getting on your tv from your media center PC? If your TV is a HDTV, I've found that the picture quality of a PC's video out (non digital) looks absolutely horrible. It's just a combination of the compression + the way a HDTV handles non-HD signals. I get a better picture from a sage recording on a non-HDTV with a media extender than I get on either of my HDTVs.

I was just talking about the way it looked on my PC screen, I made some changes and it seems much better now, though i forget what i changed
