[QUOTE="NeBlackCat, post: 274350, member: 76945"] I have a vanilla XP/SP3 installation (slipstreamed) for the purpose of evaluating media centres with an installed Nebula PCI card with BDA drivers, which work fine. First up, I installed GB-PVR and ran it for a few days with no problems. All Aussie DVB-T channels tuned and displayed fine. Then I thought I'd try MediaPortal 1 RC. The first time I ran the TVServer config it whinged about my psisdecd.dll being buggy, so I installed the psisdecd.dll/mpeg2data.ax fix as per all of the advice here (though I thought it curious that GB-PVR didnt need that).

In fact the six Channel 7 channels were scanned in on every frequency used in Australia (which are of course for other stations too)! A lot of blind alley chasing then ensued. Bottom line - there was nothing wrong with my physical setup, and other DVB software like DigitalWatch also had problems scanning.
