[QUOTE="Klairic, post: 747805, member: 113208"] I also have the same problem about being unable to disable DD on my box. Using RCA cables would be a workaround for now. I took a look at the sound problem some more today. I think WileECoyote's suggestion of a delay is what we need. Right now, after selecting the channel, MediaPortal waits until there's a valid signal coming in, and then uses that to determine how to map the a/v. The problem is, we need it to wait until the new channel is blasted and we have the new signal. It looks like most tuners MediaPortal has needed to work with in the past have been able to do their own tuning. That way, we'd always know when we have the right signal. This doesn't apply to blasted cards because we always have a signal. So, the solution here would be to add a forced delay before grabbing the PMT after blasting. I would think that this would be a card specific option for the TV Server, that defaults to 4000? milliseconds for HDPVR, and Colossus, and 0 for everything else. 4000 is just a number I came up with, not sure what the right number would actually be. I hope to have some time to look at this some more soon, but I can't guarantee anything. [/QUOTE]
