Hello,
I'd like to hear about your experiences with VDR in Welho cable network in Helsinki and especially viewing the available HD channels.
With my setup (described below), during Welho's marketing campaign when the channels are temporarily FTA, I've been able to view Discovery HD just fine. But I don't get picture with Voom and Silver HD, even though sound can be heard. Maybe video on these channels is H.264 encoded? If so, perhaps VDR with H.264 patches would be able to show the channels... If I manage to get all three channels working, it would be quite temptating to get a 3rd DVB-C card with a CI and Conax CAM after the freebie is over...
Hardware: Athlon64 3000+, NVIDIA Geforce 6200, 2 x Terratec Cinergy 1200 DVB-C Software: Pretty standard VDR 1.4.7, output with xine plugin 0.7.11, using xine-ui viewer, NVIDIA binary drivers 1.0-9755

could you give more information about next points -
- is this channel in h264 format ? - with which definition ? - which CPU's load was during watching this channel ?

It's MPEG2, 1080i I think. xine process consumes 61-67% and Xorg 9-10% of CPU on my machine.
