Hi guis,
there are many threads about problems with slow channel change when using PVR in XBMC in Windows. I did try some test:
My setup: ASUS E45M1-M PRO, 8 GB RAM, SSD disk. TBS6981 DVB-S2 Dual Tuner PCIe Card. Windows 7 (tested also with W8, but zapping was slightly slower).
Tested on SD channels on the same satellite, results are average of more tests
Results:
1/ DVBviewer 5.0
- free channels: 1,1 sec
- scrambled channels: 1,43 sec
2/ DVBViewer Recording Service 1.23.1 as backend
a/ DVBviewer 5.0 as frontend
- free channels: 1,47 sec
- scrambled channels: 2,29 sec
b/ XBMC 12 as frontend
- free channels: 3,43 sec
- scrambled channels: 4,45 sec
3/ NextPVR 2.5.9 as backend
a/ NextPVR 2.5.9 as frontend
- free channels: 2,2 sec
- scrambled channels: not tested
b/ XBMC 12 as frontend
- free channels: 7,6 sec
- scrambled channels: not tested
Can you place here your results including your setup, as this can be good informations for other users.
If possible, focus on Windows applications, as there are more problems with long zapping time.
