    As a side note, could this plugin get its own sub forum section :)

    Would make it much neater for posting issues and separating them out

    No, I didn't try 1.2.1 without the DJBlu files.. Mainly because I use the DJBlu files to quickly scan the channels and sort them into groups.

    I can try that tonight though - I'll try 1.2.2 without the DJBlu files!

    If need be, I'll try DVBViewer, but I'll have a learning curve to get that set up too since it is so long since I used it last!

    Actually, Miroslav22 posted an update to his files.. I'll give that a whirl tonight too and see how that performs .

    Not convinced that it is MePo or DJBlu issue though, as others are using TBS cards without problem..

    I think those without problems are the 6981 cards.
    I too have the 6984 and am having problems with breakup/discontinuity errors.
    I also use a nvidia card.

    I am still looking into it.

    Way to prove the theory is if psykix disables the 6984 tuners in tv server and see how his 6981 fares :)

    If it works make do with 2 tuners for now I guess :D

    So it's probs the 6984 or nvidia, 1 of my machines does have a nvidia card, can't remember model but it is hdmi out and there is no issues, 6981 in that system.

    This might be a really stupid question...

    I've just checked your 173 files and after I install them, they show me as running Mediaportal 1.2.0.0 - whereas before I installed them it was 1.2.2.0.

    Is this correct or is it built incorrectly?

    Well...

    Disabled all 6984 tuners and all seems fine now - although I cannot put any significant stress on the system with only 2 tuners!

    I had already asked TBS for 1.0.1.5 driver for TBS6984 today, so will try that one when they send it.

    One other thing.. I wonder if the 2 cards are interfering? I noticed they both use IRQ 16 (but I believe the new drivers don't use IRQ anyway)
    I could maybe try taking out the 6981 later and see how it goes..

    DJBlu do you have both cards in your system or just a 6984?

    It could be a faulty TBS6984 of course, but since DJBlu has the same issue, then I think that unlikely, unless the driver has managed to damage the card in some way (stressing it maybe)

    I have both.

    I personally beleive it is the move from IRQ to MSI. As my Nvidia card is on PCI-ex also.

    I have asked them with which driver version did they move away from IRQ, but I'm pretty sure that 1.0.1.8 was still IRQ and I already tried going back to that driver.

    My Nvidia card is PCIe also - and I have tried 2 cards (GTX460 and my current GT430)
