Help with slow tuning (3 Viewers)

[DragonQ]

As this effectively disables virus protection, I played with some options for excluding stuff to see if I could get it working fast without needing to disable the real-time option. Excluding folders doesn't work, but if you exclude the tvservice.exe process you get the same fast speeds even with the real-time scanner on.

I'd already done this on my HTPC a while back but I just tried adding MediaPortal.exe to the Windows Defender (Windows 8) exclusion list on one of my client PCs and it's much faster on first tune and retuning now (using UNC paths).

Thanks, I think that has helped a little bit although it is pretty fast now already. I now tune most SD channels in under a second. Sometimes it takes a little longer but never more than 2 seconds.
