reliable 2.1.x for UK PAL with .exetuner plugin?

I guess I'm now paying the price of three months smooth running <g>

What started out as US listings suddenly appearing in my EPG has become
no LiveTV picture but sound or B&W picture & sound.
I'm using .exetuner to channel change my NTL STB.
The channels change as requested.

I initially tried with latest beta and then revereted to 2.1.10.

I can play back old XVID .avi files and mpeg files via Sage and Media Player.

Any suggestions as to what my Details Settings, Video should be?

At present I've Video Renderer -Default
MPEG2 Video Decoder Filter - default
DVXA Mpeg mode -default
DXVA Interlacing -default
Dscaler deinerlacing filter- disabled

I used to run fine on Sage 2.020 RC4

I'll have to give up on it for now but any suggestions/comments would be most welcome.

present in Sage.properties:
mmc/always_tune_channel=true
mmc/country=United Kingdom
mmc/country_code=44

I forgot to add that I have reinstalled the Hauppauge Drivers
as detailed on http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/suppo...vr250-350.html

Download three files to your computer:
HCWCLEAR
PVR_INF files: pvr250_22_inf.zip
WinTV-PVR Update: pvr250_22_22292.exe

I guess WinTV video decoder update will be the next step

Check
mmc/video_format_code=8
in sage.properties (this is the setting for PAL).

Good news I've got a working version 2.0.20.
My picture and sound is back!

My video feed is the composite signal from my NTL box.
With Svideo I got good sound and a black and white picture, with composite0 I got sound but no picture.
Selecting composite2 gave me back my colour picture.

I'm fairly sure I used composite0 in my previous working version, but hey, I think I've got a working system again after 3 days of frustration!

By the way
mmc/video_format_code=8
in sage.properties (this is the setting for PAL). was set correctly.


Thanks Nielm for all your prompt ideas on Sat to Monday!!!

I may try an upgrade at the weekend.
