Hello,
I´ve been following this thread for a while now and managed to install the latest ddbridge drivers and got them working so far so good. The problem is that i get artifacts or stuttering picture and sound from time to time more often with HD channels than SD channels. Every time i get these artifacts i get the following error message in the syslog ("Continuity counter error") from TVHeadend. I started with 0.8.8 version of the ddbridge driver the problems where severe now there is less problems with the 0.9.10 version so there has been improvements.
I have about 74% sinal level, should be sufficient i think, I have no problems with the antenna connected to the TV
Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be? I think there is a driver problem
Below is some info.
