[QUOTE="Lil_Pete, post: 252634, member: 71169"] Hello, I have noticed that using TV Server and MediaPortal (or MPTV) the signal is prone to breaking up, blockyness and going SQWARK occasionally! I tried using MyTheatre, which reported the strength at 100% and quality at around 90%, but suffered from multiple picture breakups a minute, even more than MediaPortal which tends to do it every minute or more. In MediaPortal the Signal Strength is 95-100% and the quality is 44-48%, I can see the transmitter out of the window and have pointed the aerial at it! After talking to the people at the Nebula forums it would appear that the problem isn't with the signal but likely with the decoder or software. Basically I'm wondering if this is a problem with TV-Server, seeing as the signal quality registered is particularly low but worked fine before, the decoders, or my aerial! I tried plugging the cards into the roof aerial rather than the indoor aerial i normally use, but it made little difference to the signal quality level. Any help would be much appreciated =) Peter [b]TV-Server Version[/b]: 18513 [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 0.2.3 + SVN 18513 [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: BlueTwo [b]Windows Version[/b]: XP Pro SP2 [b]CPU Type[/b]: AMD Athlon 2600+ [b]HDD[/b]: [b]Memory[/b]: 512MB DDR333 [b]Motherboard[/b]: Gigabyte GA-7-VA [b]Motherboard Chipset[/b]: VIA KT400 [b]Motherboard Bios[/b]: [b]Video Card[/b]: ATI 9800 Pro [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: Omega 7.12 equivalents [b]Sound Card[/b]: On-Board AC'97 [b]Sound Card AC3[/b]: [b]Sound Card Driver[/b]: [b]1.
