It's great! :D Ever since I started using MediaPortal, I've been having some recurring issues with watching TV. Now and then it says it can't start timeshift, because the channel is scrambled. From what I've seen, it happens to a lot of people. I have been trying to find the circumstances when this mostly occurs, and I have come up with this: 1. When I have both free and scrambled/encrypted channels. I start watching tv on a free channel, and try to tune to a scrambled channel. Doesn't work. Is it supposed to work, or should I just remove all free channels? 2. When I have channels which I subscribe to and encrypted channels which I didn't pay for (and can't watch). If I try to watch a channel which I don't subscribe to, it messes up everything, and I can't go back to the channels I subscribe to. It seems to have something to do with MediaPortal remembering the last channel I tuned to, and when I start Mediaportal again, it tries watching that again. For example, I subscribe to Channel A, but not Channel B. I try to watch Channel B, and MediaPortal says it can't, and asks if I want to go back to channel A. I say yes, but that also fails. The next time I try to start MediaPortal, it says it can't unscramble channel A, but does it actually try to descramble Channel B? Is there any way to define which TV channel MediaPortal should start up with? A workaround/fix for this problem seems to be using the Fire DTV viewer which came with the FloppyDTV. I tune to Channel A there and close the viewer. Then I go to the manual control of TV Server config and try to timeshift Channel A. It's working again, and everything is also working in MediaPortal after that. Is this a bug, or something which can't be avoided due to software or hardware limitations? It's always working with the Fire DTV app, so it doesn't seem to be very hardware related.. Especially the free/scrambled channels mix is a bit cumbersome, because there are a couple of free channels I want to watch. [/QUOTE]
