Hi,

I'm getting this error inside client and inside tv-server configuration program by using preview.

This is what I do and what happens:

1) I tune to a channel which is scrambled, but inside my membership subscription, or I tune to free2air channel - everything is fine.

2) I tune to a scrambled channel outside my membership subscription - message appears that the channel is scrambled & can't timeshift.

3) I tune to a channel like in step 1, but error everytime: unable to start graph. The only way to solve this problem is to restart the computer.

Nevermind. Seems like my problem has magically resolved after the latest restart of my pc. Perhaps something was left from RC2?

1 minor problem is that I can't go back automatically to previous channel after failing on a scrambled channel. If I select go back (yes) to previous channel then nothing happens. Only when I switch off TV by TV On button then magically TV switches automaticly back on with previous channel.

I've found a path to solve this problem:

Close CommonInterface.exe (Digital Everywhere software) and reopen it.
It should work.

Note: you have to restart it only when you switch from unencrypted channel to an encrypted channel.
If you stay trough encrypted channels, you do not have to restart it.

Hope this help.

Please ignore my second post. I still have this problem!

TheMax74: thanks, but it doesn't help me. sometimes even restarting the pc is not solving the problem. then I have to switch off and on the pc's powersupply to really get rid of it. looks like the floppydtv card gets messed up somehow.

I too have this problem. It's very frustrating.
My life is a GRAPH issue!!!!!!! Damn!!

ur problem is ;

"subch:0 SetTimeShiftFileName no pmt received"

u could try latest svn on top of rc3, since there has been some changes regarding PMT detection.

Hi. Thanks you for your efforts.

However, I still have the same problem with "WaitForPMT: Timed out waiting for PMT" after tuning to non-tuneable (scrambled/non available) channel.

The only channels which are still available after this seem to be on the same transponder of the last succesfully tuned channnel.
