View Full Version : Duplicated video on HD channel

Hi


I have started to have a problem when watching BBC-HD, which is the only HD channel I receive. Basically after a few seconds Myth duplicates the video and overlays another copy in the top left corner taking up about a quarter of the screen.

Myth used to occasionally do this and a quick channel change would fix it, however it is now doing this every single time with both livetv and when watching recordings. Perhaps one of the auto updates has broken something?

I've changed the playback profile options with no joy. I know that the video is fine as I can play back recordings with vlc with no problems.

Has anyone any suggestions? There is a new episode of Doctor Who next week so I am keen to get this fixed!

Hi,

I think this is a know problem and has beem fixed in the fixes branch.

Maybe it's worth while going over to using the fixes branch have a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966136

By the way Doctor Who on HD, when is it showing? I get BBC HD but the EPG is really crap (only this/next).

Thanks for the reply.

Doctor Who is shown on HD at the same time as the regular showing. From memory it's 6:45 on Saturday.

What do you use to view BBC-HD, Freesat?, my EPG works for over a week.

Hi,

I get BBC-HD over my cable connection. Being an English man living in Switzerland it's nice to get abit of home every now and then.

I think my provider gets his signal from a sat, but I'm not sure if it's a "normal" feed.
