MediaPortal Version: 1.3.0
Description
Hi,
this issue occurs since 1.3.0. This happens on two HTPC (on mine and on my friends one). We tried reinstalling the whole system with no success.
Sometimes this happens very often, sometimes we can watch 1-2 hours with no issues.
If this issue occurs, we have to switch the channel and go back, to "repair" the problem.
In the german forum there are also other users who reported this issue. As said, this happens since 1.3 Alpha or Beta.
Another user tried XBMC as Client and MediaPortal as TV Server, and there were no issues anymore, so it is a bug in the MediaPortal Client and not in the MediaPortal Server.
If I record the scenes where the artifacts occur, and play the record with MediaPortal, the issues is also visible in the record, but if I open the record file with Windows Media Player, the issue is not there! Only the audio interrupts at those frames, where MediaPortal shows those artifacts.

In the past I figured out that the issue always happens when the EPG grabber starts. For example I watch RTL HD. Then the issue begins and in the log I see, that the EPG grabber tries to get the info for "Kinowelt.TV". But with only one tuner and no setting for retrieving the EPG for the whole Transponder or for "Kinowelt.TV", I don't understand why the EPG grabber tries to get the info from a different channel while watching another channel. This also happens, if this channel is not in the list of allowed EPG channels. Also this happens if the EPG grabber is deactived. If I disable the EPG for the whole TV card (and not just for all channels) the epg grabber still starts every X minutes and logs, that it has nothing to do, but the issue still happens at this time.
Regards,
Sascha
Steps to Reproduce:
1.) Install Windows and MediaPortal 1.3
2.) Watch TV
