Briantist:

DONE IT! ;-0

I reimaged to a PC build with NO MCE SETUP at all (just Win7 + drivers). This is why it is bugging me.

PC not changed + PSB1 moved = PSB2 not working.

I am quite techy, so know PCs and can understand the transmission protocols etc.. Hell, I could even tell you all about MPEG2 and H.264/MPEG4.

Aaaaaahhhhh!

That was the conclusion that I, somewhat reluctantly, was coming to.

Well done for making progress.

I had used ScanChannelsBDA_UK.exe to check my reception on MCE.

So, not Win or drivers but something specific to MCE then...

I think that this is normal. I found a website once that showed all the sizes for all the channels.

Well, I have finally got access to the PC and tried ProgDVB and PSB2 works for me too.

Can't help but wonder if the 'TV setup date for your region' is downloaded in the background, as in the background scan.

I had disabled the backgroud scan in the past but it hasn't given me any trouble for some time so haven't bothered recently.

Might try disconnecting from internet and restoring previously working image. At least I have an SSD so it is quick to switch images.

This might just give another clue but not a solution.

Looks like we need a fix from Microsoft though...

John P:

That makes sense and what I originally was following up on as MCE appeared to be giving me the option to select one of the streams.

What version of Windows are you on? Did you replaced the default codecs MCE uses when you installed ffpmeg (Win7 doesn't want you to)?

Am I understanding correctly - that your recording are working OK (inside MCE)?

John P:

Ah, OK.

If I am understanding you correctly then it sounds like a change to the multiplex that you can, manually, cope with in MythTV but we can't (yet) in MCE? Also, our TVs (well at least mine) doesn't have a problem.

Not sure I understand your Q 100%, sorry. Win7 ships with codecs for all the major compression 'formats' and I know of no way to tell MCE which stream to use. It appears to give me this as a manual option within MCE but it doesn't work for me.
