[TriLUG] HD HomeRun

[James Jones]

Brian,

Some people have had problems when upnp is disabled in the router.

I had a similar problem with a usb tv dongle on kaffeine. It would play SD
tv channels but play only a short period of HD channels, start pixelating,
then go blank. It was a configuration problem in xine. Can't remember
details but somewhere I have info on it. will look and report back.
