I am having problems when using my Matrix revolutions cam with Mediaportal/Tvserver.

When i don't insert the cam module, i can watch FTA channels just fine, no problems up to here.
But when i insert the cam module (with card offcourse), and i switch channel, mediaportal hangs, until i remove the cam module.
With the cam module inserted, i can't even watch FTA channels, mediaportal just hangs when i selected a channel.

At first i thougt my cam module was broken or something, but with the FireDTV viewer software, i can watch FTA and scrambled channels without any problems.

I added the tvserver and mediaportal logs, i didn't include the tswriter logs, these files are to large, the mediaportal one is over 90Mb, the one from tvserver is over 3Mb.

Run the commoninterface.exe in the background. This is included with the Fire-DTV integrated driver install.

I started the commoninterface.exe before i started the tvservice and MP, but i still have the same problem when trying to watch a program with the CAM inserted.

The commoninterface program is working properly, i can retrieve CAM type and firmware info, i can also read out the subscriptions on the card.

any other things i could check?
