Current ATSC tuner support status??

bobn4burton · 2008-03-12, 19:05

I've been using the latest version of Mediaportal with the built in TV Engine. It actually works quite well with my ATSC (Vbox 150) tuner for everything EXCEPT changing channels. EPG, DVR, Timeshifting, etc all work pretty well without too many stability issues.

However, when watching live tv, I can only change channels anywhere from 1-15 times before my system will lock/crash.

I thought about switching over to TV Server...but had read some people having problems with recorded TV.

Anyways...long story short, I haven't checked back here for a little bit and wanted to see how ATSC support is coming along with TV Server? Are there still some bugs/stability issues that need to be worked out?

I'd love get my TV section of Mediaportal working great, but ATSC support has been greatly lacking in the past...

Thanks in advance for anyone that can shed some light on the current ATSC support status!

Sorry to say, I have had no luck with TV3. I can not seem to find channels.

Weird, my ATSC has been flawless for the past month. I'm using a hvr-1600 and a hvr-1800.

I tried for a while, but I don't get any QAM channels I are about that are not available OTA, so I'm still using just the antenna.
