My single seat TV service has suddenly stopped working. When I enter "My TV" I get a screen telling me "please specify the IP address or host name of the master TV service" and it already shows the right server name. When confirming, I get the error message "unable to connect to database".

Although I have been tweaking my setup all day, I don't think I changed anything that could have caused this. I suspected for whatever reason I am not properly connecting to the SQL DB, so I launched TV setup using the "-c" command (which opens the SQL logon page). The logon test (to the 'sa' databse) is then successful. I also tried stopping and starting the TV service from Task Manager - not sure if there is any particular sequence I should be doing this for it to make any difference.

A log is attached; I started MP, tried to connect to the TV, failed, and then closed down. Oh, I can preview all channels fine within TV config.

Urgent help is needed becuase the Olympics are about to start!
