Can't demux some transport streams with PVAStrumento

[Tito2]

Hi,

I've encountered a problem with PVAStrumento. I can't demux the transport stream from the sat-tv channel Showtime EX. The recorded stream plays perfectly well on the sat-tv receiver (Dreambox 7000) and it is also played without any problems by PC video-players such as BSPlayer or Windows Media Player.

The thing is particularly strange because several months ago I was able to demux programs from the same channel without problems.

I would be very thankful for any advice.

Here is the PVAStrumento log:

Hi,

sorry, I cannot help you with your problem. But I see that you are way ahead of me as a dreambox-newbee in the knowledge of how to use the dreambox.

On www.dvdrhelp.com there are no guides available for the dreambox 7000, so just let me know how you learned all about this awesome machine.

I have the following problem:
My dreambox with a 120-Gig-HD ist connected to py PC via ethernet, and the network-connection ist fine (dreambox is found in Internet-Explorer when entering the IP, the ping-command returns no mistakes). I am just not able to download the recorded films from the Dreambox-HD to my PC. Films are shown on the webbased infopage in IE but cannot be double-clicked.

So please just let me know to which forum/guide you went for questions when you were a newbee.

Thanx a lot for your help,
Stefan@eckelmann.net
