[QUOTE="KevL, post: 487580, member: 11798"] Hi DreadFury, I have spent all weekend trying to get this to work. It used to work perfectly. Region is PAL, I have no control over sensitivity - though I do have bucket fulls of signal (1m sat dish point at Astra and proper DVB-T ariel pointing at Sandy Heath so buckets full of signal). I have been using the save settings app to restore settings (rather than set it all up manually). But before I did this I tried scanning tuners with a pristine (presumably empty) database when I resintalled MP1.0.2. This is why there are hundreds of channels in my database. I cant rescan channels or watch any of the stored channels. I am beginning to wonder if microsoft may have sent me a hotfix "upgrade" recently which has broken dvb cards (as far as MP is concerned). I will try running DVBfix again - Even though I have WinXP MCE 2005 and have previously applied SP2 and SP3 upgrades - so according to wiki - shouldnt need the fix. The other variable in all this is that I moved my operating system from a hard disk to a new Solid state drive. I did this by doing a partition image so in principle everything should work just fine. (have never had problems before). What was drive C is still drive C - just on a new disk. Windows boots and works etc. During the move MS decided that I needed to reactivate windows. Maybe this process changed something????? Anyway I'm sure the Tuner card hardware works (DVBViewer scans and plays video through it just fine). I realise DVBViewer might then "lock" the card and I have rebooted numerous times etc. MP never scans successfully. => No Signal error on all tuners. I will also try reinstalling the Tuner card drivers even though DVBViewer can apparrently see them OK. I even tried applying the analogue tuner fix. My tuner card has 2 DVB-Terrestrial Tuners, 2 DVB-Sat and 2 Analogue tuners. I dont use the analogue tuners and have unselected them in the tuner setup tab (so they are crossed out). Analogue card fix didn't help - hard to tell from the forum/wiki if I might need this fix. Was it just for MP1.0.1 or does MP1.0.2 need it too???. Spent all weekend searching the forum. Cant see a fix there - though others have the same 127.0.0.1 machine actively refused connection thing. I can ping 127.0.0.1 without trouble - though given my network seems to work fine - id be surpried if I couldn't. Complete OS reinstallation looks likely - but I really dont look forward to that. Maybe I'll wait for MP1.0.3 and do a full reinstall then. Kev [/QUOTE]
