I have applied all hotfixes, all updates from MS, FFDShow, etc, etc... Spent the last 2 weeks trying to get this thing to work.
Pretty much I get one frame (like a snapshot) then the FPS go's to zero.
Manual control under tv-server congif loads sometimes/other times doesn't even load (I cant be bothered waiting past ten minutes for it)...
Basically I am at wits end (my wife is threatning to throw the PC out of the window by the morning if it does not work by then... (Needless to say I would not like that to happen)

I used to get the following when I go to view TV:
Unable to start timeshifting
Unable to start graph
I followed the wiki re-installed a few times. Eventually I got the above described symptoms of one frame, then MP seems to "Hang" for want of a better word, "shift+1" shows 0FPS, sync 0, drawn 0, dropped 0, jitter 0 and a white line running down the screen from right to left. (I get one new "frame/pic/screenshot/call it what you will" every 4 minutes (using a stop watch)
When I click on TV-Streams is shows the current stream but nothing else. The EPG also seems to not be functioning either (it was before)
...
CPU usage is sitting at 21% and spikes to 78% every ten minutes
This seems to me to be a codec thing or maybe a driver thing??? Dunno frankly I am over it... (Oh yea I also don't have sound now BTW... at least I could turn the sound up and drown the nagging out before...)
I hate to say this: but I may have to go back to Arcsoft's Total Media Player if I cant get MediaPortal to work **Shudders at the thought of the constant "I told you so's" in my future if I do from she who has to be obeyed or I sleep on the couch*** as I frankly have had enough of a nagging wife who cant record her programs and trying to get software to work for 2 weeks
Thanks in advance for understanding and helping
