Message: <blockquote data-quote="Obinice" data-source="post: 539046" data-attributes="member: 99269">The plot thickens!I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP with a firewall & antivirus, and full windows updates. I then installed the driver you provided, and MediaPortal. I then did a scan, and it picked up channels! When it detects a channel, the dongle lights up ORANGE. So far, it's done exactly what the other XP SP3 machine I got it to work on did.Here comes the odd part. When I ran Mediaportal to try out the TV (just like I did on the other fresh XP SP3 machine), Mediaportal would freeze up when I turned on the TV. I also installed the dvbfix. In Task Manager it's clear that Mediaportal is using between 0-10% of CPU, and is slowly eating up more and more memory at a rate of around 100K a second, with no sign of stopping until I kill it (currently at 150,000K and increasing).To make things stranger, now when I'm using Mediaportal the dongle lights up GREEN. It's never lit up green before, not even when I had the TV on on the other machine working fine, or on the Vista machine.And just now as I'm writing this I see that the dongle is lighting up orange again (I've left Mediaportal doing its frozen-memory-eating thing to write this post, and at some point it must have switched colours while I wasn't looking).And now just as I'm writing this I have closed Mediaportal to see that the dongle is still lit up orange, and I've noticed that TvService.exe is also eating up more memory. It's at 47,000K and showing no signs of slowing down, taking about 23K a second. Killing TvService.exe has finally stopped the orange light.I am so confused guys..... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" />---------------------------------------Update---------------------------------------Also, I had to uninstall and reinstall Mediaportal because I changed the computer's name (it was set to the name of another machine by accident and had to be changed), and Mediaportal went crazy about it. When I reinstalled Mediaportal, it only detected one of the tuners instead of both, and didn't pick up any stations, as usual. Oh, and now it's deciding not to detect either of the tuners.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Unless there's a magical fix you guys can come up with I'm going to take that dongle and have it hung, drawn, and quartered! And whipped! And boiled..... And then I'll do it again! And when I've finished I will take all the little bits, and I will JUMP on them! And I will carry on jumping on them until I get blisters, or I can think of something even more unpleasant to do.</blockquote>
