[QUOTE="mruane, post: 248829, member: 21044"] Well, I downloaded SVN18215 and installed it and it all went pear shaped and ended in tears!!! Nothing worked correctly including DVB-S, DVB-T or Analog. So, I bit the bullet and blew away the Windows XP installation that I use on my TV Server and started from scratch. Re-installed Windows XP together with Acronis True Image, xVID and CoreAVC - no other codecs - no Cyberlink Power Cinema, no Power DVD, nothing else just CoreAVC and xVid. Then I loaded MP v2.3.0 and updated with SVN18279 plus the TVEngine3 from that SVN. Now everything works perfectly. DVB-T (from an HVR4000) works as it should have done - great picture, great sound and no stuttering on the server or the clients (including a mini mac used as a TV client). Plus I can leave DVB-T running without it clogging up and eventually freezing. DVB-S (from the HVR4000 and a Nova S Plus) also works perfectly and finally the analog from the PVR150 works great. I made an Acronis image immediately after the reinstallation and before loading MP. Another image after a successful installation of SVN18279. So if it all turns to custard again, I can revert back to a known good spot and restart. Why am I telling you this - well I went through a lot of Media Portal pain in the week before deciding to bite the bullet, but it was the best decision I made. The difference it has made to the stability of MP and the MP Clients is outstanding. For the first time in a while - I am really happy with my setup.
