What's New

v2.4b (30.06.2013)
- Fix for a minor streaming bug
- MIS substreams are listed automatically in manual scan dialog (tested on TBS
6925)
* To test MIS in Europe, 13E Hotbird 11432 V 27500 is recommended, transponder
seems to have PLS root code 8 with sub stream IDs 1 and 2

v2.4a (19.06.2013)
- Fixed DVB-T/C problem
- Fix for eurekalog problem
- Added option to "Disable/Ignore des.dll error" , in preferences, general tab

v2.4 (16.06.2013)
- Support for new modulation technologies, MIS with VCM/ACM , PLP and PLS (only
works on TBS devices)
- E-AC3 support (This fixes no audio problem for some channels, tested with DVB-T
France streams)
- An important HD record problem fixed
- New preferences option "Prevent Monitor Power Off (Override Windows power
options)
- Added experimental support for MadVR (a 3rd party video renderer claiming higher
video quality)
- Now possible to stream all channels / whole TS of a tranponder onto local network
- Streaming was not working on some channels (when PCR is different than Video)
fixed!
- One-channel streaming provides all audio pids now
- Attempting to run the DD again now brings it to front instead of displaying a
warning
- Option to collect EPG for other satellites too. (in Options->Preferences->EPG (TV
Guide) Only recommended for North American users
- Fixed the problem with EPG Cache optimization setting "Within X hours", now
default EPG filter option will cache/display EPG events that are "within 5 hours",
You can change this behaviour in Options->Preferences->EPG (TV Guide).
- Option to start VLC from current record in renderless (in Tools menu, waits for
15 secs to have enough data. This option is meant to be used an alternative to
timeshift, make sure you increased max file size in record options)
- Support for new TBS devices added
* Channel list file format changed. DD takes a backup of old CHL and upgrades it to
new format itself. New format won't be backward compatible
* E-AC3 has been tested using LAV and MPC audio decoder. MPC Standalone Filters.
* You can stream all channels from the same frequency. Just set UDP TS Client IP
address to the client PC's address, then check "Active" and "Send all channels". DD
might need a restart after this. Now you can start VLC on client PC and VLC's Main
menu->Media->Open Network Stream, type this as URL "udp://@:1234", click on
"Play". You can switch between channels using Main Menu->Playback->Program. DD
will stream channels as decoded as a whole TS. Make sure you disable streaming when
you don't use, otherwise it can cause problems while watching TV.
* SIMOSD module might not work well, since it directly access to channel list file,
it needs update from its author.
* Use EPG cache optimization if you have video problems because of EPG cache / high
EPG data rate (especially in North America)

v2.3 (20.05.2013)
- This was an OEM only version to support new modulation technologies on TBS
devices
v2.2b p1 (17.10.2012)
- Support for new TBS devices added
- New optimization options for EPG Cache (in Options->Preferences->EPG)
- Timeshift now will start from 1-2 seconds earlier than when it is paused
* Use EPG cache optimization if you have video problems because of EPG cache / high
EPG data rate (especially in North America)
* Default EPG cache optimization will cache all events for your favorite channels
and up to 3 hours for other channels. So make sure you add the channels you often
watch and want to have a guide of to favorites, to get full 9 day TV Guide. (if
your provider supports it)

v2.2b (10.10.2012)
- EPG Plus improvements (Tv window, channel logos, right click translate/search in
IMDB/Google menu options, remote control support and possible to move between
events by keyboard arrow keys.).
- Timeshift should work a lot better now
- New EPGNumbers module will automatically assign channel numbers in the same order
as provider's STB / EPG, for most of the European providers. You just need to
select which provider you use in module options.
- Audio Left/Right channel selection (panning) on channel properties now works (to
be used when audio channels have different languages or comments/narrative)
- New option "Display only selected satellite in remote tab" in prefences/ch.list
- "Assign SIDs to ChNo" Tools menu and scan dialog option. (Useful for North
American users, you could just use remote tab in STB order)
- New record file naming options. ($5=ChNo $6=SID $7=SatPos) Possible to include
channel numbers in recordings now (It is so as default, if you assign channel
numbers in remote tab)
- DVB Dream will scan faster when network search is NOT enabled.
- Bug fixes
* EPGPlus is now default and EPG cache is enabled by default. So you can disable if
you don't use EPG at all. Legacy EPG can be found in Tools/Misc menu as well.
* TBSCI module is now disabled by default, you need to enable it if you use CAM on
TBS devices
* You can also get a free DD licence if you can add device support for the (yet)
unsupported cards (We will provide sample source code if you can write a simple
BDA extension to support diseqc & remote control etc on BDA drivers)

v2.2a (24.09.2012)
- New grid based EPG+ module with coloring based on content type. (Try it and share
your ideas/suggestions please. Main menu->Modules->epgplus. You need to activate
EPG cache under settings / performance. Content coloring is dependent on your
provider, not all providers send content info in EPG correctly)
- EPG should display characters correctly now (tested on 42e, 28e, 19e, 13e, 7w and
DVB-T UK)
- Option to remember last selected quick favorites
- Bug fixes
* If EPG still doesn't display characters correctly, please report on the forum by
specifying region/satellite , frequency. We'll fix it.

is enabled by default

v2.1a (27.08.2012)
- Hauppauge Nova HD s2 problem on 8psk channels fixed
- settings.cfg is automatically restored from backup if gets corrupted
- Some scan bug fixed (which caused nameless channels especially on 13e)
- TT-connect S2-4600, TeVii S660, S630 should work better now
* Now you can tell DD how long it should wait until signal lock (Preferences-
>Performance->Tuner Timeout), this can speed up channel scan by removing
unnecessary delay on no-signal transponders.
* Cracked versions will NOT work well, and you will experience a lot of problems! .
We recommend you to use licenced versions, for stable work and frequent updates for
years to come.

"terrestrial.ini" files
* For terrestrial and cable users, a clean install & scan is recommended

changing "main menu->options->device options->diseqc method" and increase the
values in "main menu->options->performance->delay after diseqc" and "diseqc
repeats"
* If you have crashes during scan when you use BDA device interface, disable TIF
under device options
* If you are a programmer, believe that you can write device extensions to support
your DVB cards/boxes please contact us, we will provide the API, it is quite
simple. Possible to support CI / Diseqc / DVB-S2 / Blind Scan / LNB power off

(this might be quite handy if you are following the schedules published by
provider!) and CHL optimization features.
- Module: Signal Display included (to adjust your dish, signal levels are indicated
by voice!)
- Module: Level log included (stores signal levels in a file with periodic samples)

* BDA DVB-S devices : It needs device specific codes for Diseqc an CI support
since BDA specification doesnt support diseqc and CI. Some of device specific
diseqc are implemented and some might be implemented in next versions. If you have
any information on how to implement Diseqc support on your BDA device , please let
me know. I will try to implement necessary code in DD.

list, if there is already a old version CHL, DD takes a backup of old CHL and
upgrades it to new format itself)

same plugins in \plugins root and \pipXX folders.
