[QUOTE="TonyR63, post: 1168643, member: 156407"] Hello Again Thanks for the additional information and the information available in the Wiki is very comprehensive so I will work my way through this to get a better understanding of the features and functions of Media Portal. I removed the newer Fusion dual tuner express PCIe card and the display problems immediately went away. I suspect the Lenovo PCIe slot was earlier than the card as there are a few variations of PCIe. The dual Fusion express card seem to work OK in a different box so the card itself is not faulty. There was never a Linux driver for this card so it never got deployed in the MythTv so was previously unused. Since the Lenovo has only a single standard PCI slot I switched the older single tuner Fusion Plus card with an old Kworld PC 160 -2T dual tuner which worked fine with Mythtv and found a VISTA 64 bit driver which seems to work OK with Windows 10. Media Portal was able to scan without crashing on both of these tuners and found 22 of the available 26 channels in our area. Again I don't understand why it does not detect the SBS channels which we use a lot but this is a separate issue. I can therefore confirm the correctness of your assessment that Media Portal did NOT cause the video driver issue which was related to the loading the PCIe card in the Lenovo PCIe slot in conjunction with the other standard PCI Fusion card. I will continue to test the Kworld tuner with Media portal and see if Kodi clients can connect and watch live TV. Thanks again for your assistance with my issues which was very helpful and most appreciated. [/QUOTE]
