    I have setup TV with 0.2.2.0 and also with SVN MediaPortal-svn--05-10-2007--01-03-Rev14579.exe. In both cases, I recieve most channels without difficulty. Only the French channels appear scrambled. The video doesn't synchronize, as if the channels couldn't be tuned correctly. I have checked the frequencies against those given by the cable provder (telezug) and have tried both "Default and "PAL-B" (encoding specified by Telezug). The Swiss French channels TSR1 & TSR2 work fine, only the French channels (TF1, France2, TV5) are affected. What can I do to get these channels? Do I need to select some kind of SECAM decoding? They come in with no problems using JRiver Media Center 12 or XP MCE 2005 RU2.:confused:

    Meanwhile tried also Hauppauge WinTV 2000 and ChrisTV PVR Pro 5.0.1.
    Both have no problems with the French TV stations here.
    :oops:
    P.S. What caused this was supplying the country, "France", in the TV channel setup. Apparently that caused MePo to interpret the channels as SECAM instead of PAL, even when I explicitly selected "PAL-B" in the setup. After setting both of these entries to "Default", the French channels come in correctly.
