422 feeds with skystar2

[matt56]

Hi all. I realise that this sort of question has been asked on here a few times, but having searched through all the threads i cannot find the specific answer that i am after.

I recently installed a skystar2 card and have spent the last few days trying to view 422 feeds with it. I’ve downloaded and installed progdvb and got this working ok but the 422 feeds are still blank (with audio). I read that this is something to do with an elecard, so I’ve downloaded this too but cant quite get this to work. It wants a serial number from me even though it’s a trial version. I’m fairly new to all this so am struggling a bit. Do I have to pay the $40 to get the full version to then view the 422 feeds?

Thanks in advance

Your trial may have expired. If you don't want to pay, you can get an older version (the free one) or steal one from that there Internet.

thanks for you reply BgonaStick.

I only signed up to the 21 day trial yesterday so that shouldnt be the problem. I'm wondering if im using it with ProgDvb properly.

I also did try and find it elsewhere on that there internet but no joy

On my first install of ProgDVB I had a funny with 422, to resolve the video I had to enter the channel properties, tick H264 channel and OK it, wait for the error message to pop up, go back into channel properties untick it and OK out. Only then did the video show. I've also settled on Mainconcept for the codec, of all the ones I tried it seems to piss off the fragile ProgDVB the least.

Alt-DVB with ffdshow is my recommendation all the other nonsense is useless.

yes mine was turning the picture upside down with coreavc and other codecs, ffdshow works fine in altDVB
