[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1170770, member: 82144"] Thanks for the answers Barry Sorry, I should have been clearer. When I said "recordings", I meant recordings that are scheduled in advance. Do they work? Okay. Without meaning to be pedantic: when you checked this, you actually viewed the output of the STB, right? (I want to clarify that you're not making this statement based on [for example] the channel number shown by a mini-display on the front of the STB.) Okay. This message means that IRSS thinks it was able to send the command successfully. IRSS cannot confirm that the remote control was learned successfully, or that the STB actually received the full command and acted on it successfully. Yes, those log files would not be expected to show anything more. However, I would be very interested to see the TsReader log after waiting 4 minutes. Based on all that you've said about this issue so far it seems like your tuner/capture card is causing this. In my opinion whatever the STB is outputting during channel change is confusing/disturbing the card's encoder, and the encoder is not able to recover until it is reset. Stopping and restarting TV in MediaPortal is one way of resetting it. To be really specific, I think that the reason that you see the frozen picture is: [LIST=1] [*]The card is not outputting anything at all, OR... [*]The card is outputting that frozen image. [/LIST] If you wait 4 minutes then collect the TsReader log, I should be able to see which of these is actually happening. From your earlier log files I suspect it is more likely to be the second option. The thing that confuses me is that I thought you were using this same setup successfully with WMC. Can you confirm? ...and one last thing: I'm interested to know if MediaPortal enables you to skip backwards and forwards (left/right keys) after the channel change... or what happens if you pause (space bar) wait 5 seconds and then unpause (space bar again)? If my theory about what's going on is correct, you should be able to skip back into the buffer from the previous channel and see normal video, and then if you skip forward again you should see the freeze frame from the channel that you tried to change to. Regards, mm P.S. Thanks for your patience - it's much appreciated. (y) [/QUOTE]
