[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1157932, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome Kerry. It's nice to see a fellow New Zealander around here. :) Thank you for providing the log files. That makes it much easier to help you. (y) In technical terms what I see is that your TsReader and TsWriter log files are full of continuity errors. In other words: the stream that MediaPortal's TV Server is receiving from your tuner is missing chunks all over the show. Usually the cause of such problems is: [LIST=1] [*]Signal strength or quality is inadequate, AND/OR... [*]Security software such as Windows Defender, AVG, Norton etc. is scanning the time-shifting folder and overloading the HDD. [/LIST] To fix the problem, first please ensure you've configured your security software to trust MediaPortal and MediaPortal's TV Server. In particular, ensure you exclude your timeshifting and recording folders from virus/malware/spyware scans. If that doesn't help you need to ask yourself whether you're confident that the signal from your satellite dish is good. Regards, mm P.S. Please feel free to ask questions if any of the above doesn't make sense. :) [/QUOTE]
