[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 831881, member: 82144"] Hi elsmandino Okay, well in that case you will either need to disable the DVB EPG grabbers or use process of elimination to find the channel(s) that is/are causing problems for the grabber. I need the tv.log to be able to check, not the TsWriter log. The symptom is that when you attempt to tune a channel you will see TV Server deciding which tuner to use and then suddenly stop tuning when it hits a line containing something like GetNewSubchannel - that is when TV Server tries to communicate with TsWriter and gets locked up. At that point TV Server must be restarted to enable you to tune channels again. No, trust me on this one. I am aware of the problem, I know it is annoying and I know we need to do something about it. The trouble is: 1. Finding people who have the skills to look at the problem. We have few TV Server devs and only some of them understand TsWriter enough to be able to look at the code. 2. Finding the time to try and do something about the problem. All our TV Server devs are very busy at present, both with real life and with other work. I can't force anyone to drop what they are doing to work on this. 3.
