Hi,

after not using MP for a few days I tried to turn it on to watch TV. The computer had been in standby the whole time. The result is a black screen when trying to watch TV. I had scheduled some recordings, which were recorded just fine, and I can watch them, too. Sometimes when I try to switch on TV there is an empty dialog box in MP, which I can close but the screen is still black. I can view the TV guide just fine.

The Nova-T 500 dual tuner card is installed, but I'm not using them. I have set the card's two tuners to False in the MP Configuration.

I have attached all log files except exception.log in the pastebin under my user name Pjotor.

AFAIK I haven't knowingly changed any settings, which makes me even more confused. I'd be grateful for any and all help.
