The lock-up time varied, but if I recall correctly it was never more than 30 seconds or so. Because the lock-up is internal to DirectShow (ie. outside MediaPortal's control) it is not possible to determine what DirectShow is doing that takes so long.Often it does! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Are you saying that the problem doesn't happen even after restarting the TV service (or PC)?I mean, once the tuner is loaded, I'd expect it to work fine and without excessive delay... but as soon as you have to load it again (ie. after stopping and restarting the TV service) I would have expected the same loading delay to occur.No need to apologise! I'm happy to have been able to [try to] help. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />As far as I am aware the behaviour is very uncommon. It only seems to occur when loading analog tuners (the vast majority of people are using digital tuners these days) on a small percentage of systems which have at least 2 analog tuners. Like I mentioned above, I've experienced similar delays... but never anything so extreme as 10 minutes.It isn't only your system... however, your system is in a very small minority.With regard to a fix...I mentioned TVE 3.5 in my previous post. I'm pretty confident that the problem won't occur in TVE 3.5 due to significant improvements in the analog tuner loading process. TVE 3.5 takes more control over tuner loading... which leaves less room (ability) for DirectShow to lock up. Unfortunately the changes are too large to "back-port" to TVE 3 (current MediaPortal TV Server)... and TVE 3.5 itself is not complete/stable.</blockquote>
