Hi All,

I have a problem with MP and using My TV - I've got everything else working perfectly but My TV always gives problems (tried this on two totally different systems) I can get TV working fine after the inital tuning, but at the next channel change or if I'm lucky the next reboot, I just get a black screen when turning on TV... Sometimes when I turn on TV the system bluescreens and reboots
Any ideas on what could cause something like this ? Or if waiting for TV Engine 3 is likely to have any affect on this problem ?
Logs will follow tomorrow I can get back on the HTPC....

Cheers

Here is the log as promised - This is when I get no tv, just a black screen!!
I have tested the signal with my freeview box and I can get all the channels fine.

Hopefully someone can come up with some ideas as I'm stuck at the moment!

Cheers

Ok, after much tinkering and wasting time I have come to the conclusion that the TV card drivers are causing BSOD's and they don't appear to like working with MP in terms of channel tuning
I've now ordered an Avermedia USB2 DVB tuner - lets hope that works better!!

I'd advise everyone AGAINST buying a Lifeview TV Walker Q DVB-T - Despite other advice on the forum (which is what made me go for that one!) it isn't a very reliable tuner, and Lifeview tech support don't even know what the current driver is! They say its 1.4.0.001 on the website but the link goes to 1.2.0.000!
After a bit of google'ing I find i'm not the only one with BSOD's using this card either.
