    After installing a Digital Everywhere Floppy DTV as a 2nd DVB-C tuner card it locks up the TV service for only that card and only with the other DVB-C (Technotrend 1501) enabled.

    I have tried

    Reinstalling Windows XP SP3
    Updating the BDA drivers
    Using MPTVclient instead of Media Portal Client to prove its the server which does the same thing.
    Removing the Cams and just viewing Free to air
    Changing the Card Priorities

    I have been using the TT-1501 alone for a year no problems.

    After the Digital Everywhere locks up the client you can still run with another client on the TT-1501 and even stop and start the stream from VLC for the TT-1501. The only wat to get another stream from the Floppy DTV is to reboot the server as the TV service cannot be stopped, it just hangs stopping

    The TV server config works a little so it shows there is no stream but the VLC still show the client is connected even though it is not.

    This Dell does not have a Firewire Connector so I used a PCI-COMBO Firewire/USB card that was a few years old...my only way forward is replace it as I cannot see anything in the server logs that I can understand is wrong. Windows logs show nothing.

    The TV picture frooze at 10:44pm for these error logs from a media portal client.

    The Client TSreader.log shows loads of these video continuity errors from start to finish of the stream at 22:44

    Replaced PCI firewire card. This was only an issue when streaming from the PCI technotrend card at the same time as the firewire Digital Everywhere.
