Are we a bit tetchy today?

Services work just fine for me, Sage as a service is just too sluggish. It's the implementation not my setup, as I have been able to establish. Quote:

If not try to just record a small show without trying to view it in SageTV. Wait for the recording to complete and verify that this recording seems ok: try to view it in media player and then in SageTV. If you are pretty sure that your setup is ok regarding lineups, then you may very well have a small issue on the PVR150 (I had some with mine depending on the driver used). If you want me to check your lineups and sage settings drop me an e-mail at lmgestion@hotmail.com and I'll see it with you. Regards, Stéphane. |

Stephane: I just realised that something odd is happening. I do most of the work on my setup in my study, where I do not have access to the Sky box and Sage just "tunes" into a blank signal and everything seems to work ok. When I take the setup downstairs and connect the Sky box, it always hangs when I try to tune to a Sky only channel. Does this make any sense to you? |

Ok, then instead of viewing LiveTV just try to record a short program on Sky. Then verify that the recording is Ok (in Windows Media Player and SageTV)

Hi Stephane,
I made a recording as you suggested and while it was recording, I played around with the aspect ratio settings to try and make the picture fit the TV display better. Not only did the recording play ok but the fault seems to have gone. Does Sage get confused if the aspect ratio settings are wrong? I am having a bit of trouble geting the display to look right, so I may start a new thread somewhere else if I can't fix it. At least everything basically works now. Thanks for staying with me on this. |

So you can search for specific problems (nvidia / vmr9 / full screen). And you can also try to : * update / downgrad nvidia drivers. * verify that windowed / full screen can make a difference * VMR9 / Overly can make a difference Also it may be good to know what the difference is between the Sky MPEG and the DVB-T MPEG (the Sky one normally are 4:3 MPEG2 PS, the DVB-T can be 16:9 MPEG2 PS/TS). So if you are using a 16:9 display chances are that you fill the display with the 4:3 video and it may be the source of the problem. Regards, Stéphane. |

Sage generally doesn't care about your aspect ratio settings - you can happily play video for hours at the wrong AR, it's just data and Sage will do it. People often use one of Sage's ratios to specifically stretch letterboxed video to fill the screen.
Getting Sky via a PVR-150 is a bit ugly really, as you're converting digital to analogue to digital, and the 150s seem to always identify the MPG produced as 4:3 when in all likelihood it's 16:9. In fact, you'll generally always play this video at an AR different to what is identified by Sage. Ugh...far better getting a digital DVB-S card as your next project!

Thanks for your help and advice guys. I have been reading up on setting aspect ratio and learned a bit more. As I said, I will start another thread if I have any trouble.
