I have an odd problem with MediaPortal 1.15 when watching FreeSat HD, it has done this with every version I've ever had. SD channels are fine. HD channels like ITV, Channel 4 and FIVE are fine. BBC HD channels however seem to crash intermittently. They start watching fine, then begin to break up, before freezing altogether. There is no "no signal" notification, the picture and sound simply break up and stop completely. I've seen people refering to codecs but playback isn't the issue. It does it either watching live TV or when recording. Sometimes it's a couple of minutes in. Sometimes it can run fine for an hour.
For example, this evening I tried to record Monsters University on BBC One HD. It started recording at 16:53 and recorded a little under 2 minutes of video before failing. I tried running MediaPortal Watchdog, and exported the log if it helps. I've also attached a live crash around 19:50 (roughly) though I didn't make an exact not of the time. I'll edit this post and post both logs in a few minutes.
This behaviour doesn't occur on the Freeview HD tuners, but I prefer FreeSat as they broadcast in DD which my AMP works with. It won't decode AAC as broadcast on Freeview.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour and/or know of a fix please?
Thanks,
Michael

Edit 2: I realised picking through the logs that one of the tuners on the card wasn't working. The cable had come away. This has now been fixed and is working but was unrelated.
