Dunno about a walkthrough, but you could try ripping the Elecard codec/filters out of ProgDVB or somewhere else and chucking them in. That's what I had to do to get rid of a similar problem under XP.

hi RD100
I have been looking for a setup guide for alt dvb.But not found any.Also I never was able to get it to run correctly.
Dvbdream I found was not to bad on cpu if you are not connected to internet.And run minimal programs.It seems once a channal clears the cpu usage drops.
Also the plugins folder is very handy in program list.

Have you guys tried AltDVB V2.2?

http://www.satellitehelp.co.uk/forum...ic,2757.0.html

It's much better than 2.1 - more stable.

As an experiment, I have just tried DvbDream again and remember why I dont like it. It took over 20 minutes to scan astra 2 sat and then uses so much cpu when I run it that its not much use.

Altdvb scans in a couple of minutes from an up to date transponder list that it downloads from the web and it runs with much less cpu use.

rd100, if I were you, I would try altdvb for BBC HD because it runs reasonably well on my 3200+ cpu.

I've not installed Vista yet, and this is why. What a crock.
