HD200 and DVB-S2 support

[banjo]

Hello,

I'm trying to see my DVB-S2 live broadcast on my HD200 and all the time i just get black screen.

Is it possible to see .TS files on the HD200?



Thanks

Is this BBC-HD by any chance ?

I don't know if the file format is the same on your DVB-S2 broadcasts, but I watch several DVB-S2 channels from my CBand dish here in the U.S. My HD-200's don't have any issues playing the stream.

I think most of the ones I'm receiving are H.264.

what is the file format like .ts .mkv..... ?

Mine record as .mpg - the file description within Sage is MPEG2-PS[H.264 1080i]

The reason I mentioned BBC-HD is because lots of people in the UK forum are having problem playing it on HD200s. If the audio stream is AC3 then it plays fine, but if its Stereo we get no video/audio. They play fine on PC client though (With a H.264 decoder installed obviously)

Apparently its due to be fixed in a future firmware release

Found the problem with it.

HD200 cant handle utf8 (Unicode) file names.
so it have to be in ENGLISH to work fine.

I opened a call to tech support on that problem.

Thanks
