* SS2 users must use Mibi's patched drivers to be able to use positioner feature.

NEW: ch-change timeout
NEW: Channels can be deleted using DEL key now

NEW: now it is possible to edit or add ac3 pids on ch.properties
NEW: now it is possible to disable "Tune to last channel at startup"
CHG: remote-list needs double click to switch channels (this was necessary to prevent drag&drop list-rearrange problems)
Supported Devices:
B2C2 (Skystar2, Airstar2, Cablestar2)
Twinhan (All PCI models should work *)
Pinnacle PCTV Sat/400i/Lite
Genpix 8PSK to USB device
Broadlogic (BL2030) (NEW in v1.2x)
DVBWorld (Nextorm/SatStar2/Acorp TV878DS USB/PCI) (NEW in v1.2x)
Tongshi DVB-S (NEW in v1.2x)
Notes:
Some codecs do not support PIP (e.g. old Cyberlink versions)! Best codecs for DD: Sonic or nVidia
* You can test H.264 with Cyberlink , ATI or CoreAVC codecs at the moment. Cyberlink H.264 codec is included in PowerDVD 7: http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/downl...als_1_ENU.html
CoreAVC will probably have an aspect ratio problem, you might want to try it with Generic Video Renderer.
How to report bugs
Please do not try to use old modules (DDRemote, DVBEPG etc) with new DD. Old modules are incompatible with new DD
