Using the 3/30/2006 CVS

Timeshifting and recording are off. While watching live TV, after a few channel changes, the system seems to lose sync with the audio. THe audio drops in and out as if there is an AC3 problem. Mediaportal will eventually hang, with a "cannot tune channel" error.

Autotuning ATSC gives me a BSOD now on one of the weaker channels.

The strong channels before that one did get added, but when trying to use them, MP crashes.

Logs are added with-TS enabled and no-TS.

Using the SVN from 040506

MyTV works with TS on and off with channels with high signal quality. According to the logs, problems occur on channels where signal strength is high but signal quality is lower. SOund will stutter for a second, with no picture. Then MP gives the "No Signal Detected error". Once this occurs MP soon becomes unresponsive after a few channel changes. A CTRL-ALT-DEL is required to end MP, and sometimes, when ending the MP task, the system BSOD and reboots.

I've seen other posters with similar issues, not just with ATSC, but with other DVB-T cards where signal quality is not great.

As a point of reference, all of these channels tune and display fine with SageTV.
