So when I lunch mytv and I turn tv on, the coputer freeze for a fex second and then it shows me "unable to start time shifting, no free card available".

Thank you for your advice but I think I find out what the problem was.

When the sat cable (from the atena to the card) is a bit crushed, the message diplays, instead of saying that there is no signal, it says that the is no device available.

I'm not completly sure, but since two day it works fine.
