Both after resuming from hibernating and after a reboot, trying to start BBC channels results in MP locking up.

Other channels seem to be OK.

The first log zip is from when the lock up happened

I tried to start timeshifting on BBC1 with TV Server config whilst Channel4+1 was playing in MP and MP stopped it and said "Timeshifting stopped by another user" which is wierd as I've got two tuners. TVService also then stopped itself and I had to restart it. The second log zip is from after this happened.

I also noticed that the signal level on BBC1 is 36 and the Signal Levels alternates between 0 and 40, so there's obviously a problem with my aerial, but I wouldn't have thought this would cause MP to lock up.

I was just watching CH4+1 and that locked up after a few minutes. I then loaded TV Server config and it said TVservice was not started, so for some reason that's getting stopped.

It just seems to be BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 and E4+1 that I'm having troubles with.

All of these channels are mostly green blocks were very broken sound. Starting E4+1 resulting in MP crashing again.

In TV Server config I see for these 4 channels, Signal Level is 37, with the Signal Quality alternating between 0 and 20 as Tuner Locked switches from no to yes constantly. Again, after starting Timeshifting on BBC1 in Server config the TVService stopped itself and I had to restart it, but this didn't happen subsequently when I started Timeshifting in config on a dodgy channel.

All the other working channels don't have much higher Signal Level at 41, but Signal Quality is higher at 80, 60 or 40.
