Hi Folks,
please help me as im very close to killing my self over trying to get MP working.
basically this is my setup:

MP:i have MP 2.3.0 setup + latest SVN which i downloaded today
TV Server:TVE3 + latest svn which i donwloaded today.
my card is a Satelco Easywatch PCI HDTV DVB-C .

have setup TVE3 accouring to the wikki guide.
now when i start TV server it does find my Satelco card but i cant tune any channells.
some times i get 50% signal and 50%Level and some times i get 0% in both.

i have never gotten more than 50% quility singnal at all.
i think my problem is a graph problem.

i tried to setup my card manually in MP accourding to the guide but in Graphedit both my resource filters and my receiver filter has the exact same name.

i also have the problem when i try to connect the pins to "microsoft dvb-c network provider".

i have managed to set the same card with My Theatre and Progdvb and i get all the channels with out any problems so i know the card is not faulty and the signal is not fualty.

im very new to this so i dont know much about this.

can some one tell me if i do have a graph problem ,would that prevent me from even tunning in channels?
i was under the impression that the graph is only used for vewing so actually tunning in channels has nothing to do with it but maybe im wrong.

i would really appreciate any help at all as i have been at this for days now.
many thanks in advance.
attached are all the logs.

I haven´t heard about signal quality as a general problem

You´d certainly get easier help if you give your post a title which indicates the type of problem that you have.

Sorry, can´t give you more help atm

That is not a good start - is the Vista MCE service started?

Logs look ok but I would make sure your tuning paramters are set correctly.

i dont know if this is a bug or not but i found out that if i scanned for channels automatically (through the .dvbc file) then i can scan for channels but if i do it manually it does not find anythingeven though im scaning the exact same freq.

maybe the time outs on the two scanning method are different or somthing...
