Erratic Operation... all of a sudden! (1 Viewer)

[EW Thomas]

I have a rather puzzling problem I can't quite get a handle on. My HTPC has been working flawlessly for several weeks now with MP2. Today it missed one scheduled program and the video was showing a locked frame of a program on that channel. Now recording and video is hit or miss being more miss than hit actually. I have restarted the machine several times as well as MP2

I've attached the log files in hopes someone more familiar with the inner workings can find a problem

Thanks in advance !

hi Wayne

looks like the channel is gone.
moved by your tv provider?
please rescan your channels and see if this solves your problem

Hi,
Thanks for the reply! This is still puzzling mess The channel was present as verified by another receiver and by a different program using the same tuner card.
After restarting everything again I have been able to get the suspect channel tuned and it has remained good since early this AM. Funny thing though when I first started MP2 it came up on the program I attempted to tune prior to the restart.And also when I attempted to tune the channel I wanted all I got was audio no video.
A restart of MP2 again got it working and that is the state it has been in since early this morning. We'll see how it does on a scheduled event later on and go from there I guess

Thanks for the assistance!

hi
here is a list of your signal level and quality
when the scheduler is running the quality is low about 25 to 33.
I don't know why
