I just spent the last hour wrestling with codecs. I've finally got a SS2 card set up with DVB Dream. I was having awful difficulties getting it to work, and I wasn't 100% sure what codecs were needing to decode video/audio. AltDVB didn't work at all, and I got a black screen with ProgDVB...

I finally got it working with the 'ACE Mega Codecs' pack, which comprises of about half a million codecs, and takes up 150mb on the disc (just codecs??).

Just wondering, what are the actual codecs (for next time) that you need for decoding the signals?

Fyi, setup was XP Pro, SS2 Card, 28.2East
