Channels found but no Display (1 Viewer)

[drum]

I had MP working for 2/3 years with no real problems, but recently suffered a hard disk failure. So I've started from scratch.

I've installed XP and updated to SP3 and all updates, I've done the dvb-hotfix, and then installed MediaPortal 1.1 everything default onclick install etc.

I can scan and find channels in the tvserver setup (although several come up like "Unnkown 104A" but most are sensible channels, however I can't watch the channels, even in preview in the TV-Server I simply get a blank screen.

The EPG data is being downloaded though.

I've never really been impressed the the Nova-T-500 I was using even when I first built the system, so I installed a Peak Dual DVB tuner, to rule out the Nova DVB tuner, but I get exactly the same results.

Anybody any ideas what could be causing it?

I've just slung the Nova T500 into a spare ASUS Pundit I had, and done a clean XP install and all the same steps as on the media PC I had, and no unknown channels on the channel scan. Not sure if it's related.

Looks like it works on the Pundit, but not on the homebrew Media PC. I had to install some codecs (I used the XP Codec Pack free download)

The homebrew media PC has been running the old versions of MP for the last few years with no real problems unitl the HD died, shame it won't run the latest version. Not sure what the clash is, but it's a bit of a pig.
