Hello
I am currently experiencing picture pixelation when watching the BBC HD station. I have tried changing the position of the dish changing deinterlace settings even sending 1080i output to the tv and tuned several paramaters within my xineliboutput config but this seems to have no effect. The problem does not occur when watching ITV HD so I am confused as to what is causing it. Is anyone watching freesat BBC HD perfectly and is so how are you doing it. I have read that other people have had similar problems but that seems to be a few years back so I am not sure if this is a bbc problem a vdr problem or a xine problem. I would appreciate any help in fixing this.
Thanks

Can you watch a recording of that channel?
I had big trouble recently with ARD HD and ZDF HD which worked good until recently. My suspect where trees that are growing in the line of sight to the satelite and getting greener (more water). I tried to adjust the dish and today I replaced it with a bigger one. Lots of work, no success :-(
Now I found out that I can record those HD channels perfectly well. I can at the same time record those two HD channels and at the same time watch any of the two recordings clearly! But I can not watch them live????!!!!
I would appreciate any help in fixing this.

I just watched BBC HD live for a couple of minutes and it was totally fine.

Thank You both for the response, that has cleared thinks up a bit. vdr using xineliboutput plays BBC HD live pixelated, plays the recording pixelated but mplayer plays the file with no pixelation. so I guess it must be a xine-lib problem? or a deinterlacing problem? I will give the xine-plugin a try
Thanks again

Hmm, I don't see a general problem due xinelib, because a couple of guys are watching BBC HD from Astra 28.2° here in Germany. Due to it's unfavorable postion, Astra 28.2°, it is basically not easy to get, especially in the southern parts of germany, but I haven't ever heard there is a general problem with "BBC HD" using xine-lib output.
I would rather guess that your setting in config do not fit for watching BBC HD. It's like in the german "ZDF HD", if you have not configured the minimum buffer setting you wouldn't get any sound, whereas "Das Erste HD" does work perfectly, even with the same low buffer settings, ..., so, there are couple of suggestions for these settings, where you may have look at it?
