OK, I have uninstalled everything from elecard / moonlight.
I gone into the dvbpl-directory and started register.bat again.
Then I started dvbpl and choose Channel/Channel 1.
Now the titlebar of dvbpl shows also "- Synchronizing", but it
gets never a synchronization.
The "- Synchronizing" of the title bar is about 3 seconds visible,
then it is for about 0,2 seconds away before it returns for 2 sec.
again. For me it is looking as dvbpl has a timeout of 3 seconds
for syncronizing, then it restarts syncronizing, is that correct?

A few days ago I got MediaPlayer working, but video and sound
had a delay of about 10-12 seconds!

So if the timeout of dvbpl is only 3 seconds, there can't be
got syncronization ever.

I think the too short syncornizstion-timeout is the problem that
with DVB-s cards some channels are not working.

Markus (developer of dvbpl):
Could you please set the timeout for syncronization up to ~15 seconds?

OK, I set DVBVL_PORT="5002" now.
