Freezing TV picture (1 Viewer)

[edgedemon]

Hi Guys - Im convinced this is to do with the addition of my second TVcard install as it never used to happen, but I do not know where to fix it...
This is happening 5-7 times a day now.
The only change I have made is to add a second TV card (NOVA-T) to the system, but the picture freezes when I am watching cable through my main hauppage PVR500 card. I lose the picture entirely for 5-10 seconds and get a no signal detected window pop up even though I am watching my cable channels...

I have posted only the last bit of my log file that shows the error...

Strange

Want to post my full log file, but all I get is a blank page when I press submit

 

[tklon]

Paste your log here: http://mp.pastebin.com/
Post the given url then.

 

[edgedemon]

told you it was big!!!!!!!

I get the following when I try that...

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1965840 bytes) in /home/pastebin/public_html/pastebin.php on line 333


I will try and prune it down and repost tonight.

 

[edgedemon]

Done

Very edited version,

http://mp.pastebin.com/624524

one error at line 353
then from line 466 22:11:01

I literally cut out hundreds of lines concerning the Directx errors.

This happened when I added a second NOVA-T card, I set it up in MP, gave it a different priority and off I went.
Symptoms
Alright for a while, then picture starts freezing and I get a pop up MP window telling me that the signal has been lost and no picture. Usually have to reboot machine as MP stops responding. I can confirm that I am running the latest drivers for the cards and have applied the '2 card patch' which I downloaded to My documents and ran the .bat file...

Hope someone can help??!!

Many thanks

Martin

Similar Prob Under RC3

Hi I Get a similar problem but mine isn't with a 2nd card. I only have one Dvico Fusion DBD-T card but It show the picture then 5 or so seconds later goes to a blank screen with "No Signal Detected". I reinstalled the tuner driver no luck. Tuner works fine through it's own Fusion HDTV app but MP 2.0.0 RC3 doesn't like it. When I flick channels it more often than not does the same thing on the subsequent channel or else displays the channel with the top and bottom sliced off.

Hi Greg - where are you located?

You may be experiencing this bug?

 

[edgedemon]

Still confused..

Can someone have a quick scan of the log I posted and maybe give a couple of pointers as to whether this is a bug or something else. I am getting lots of direct X errors....
