An HTPC with Norton is a bad combination.
I have removed all software that could influence performance.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet or not, but the bottom of every web page where it says "Running the latest version?" still says 1.2.2. Just thought I'd point that out

It says 1.2.3 for me. Have you tried refreshing your browser, or logging out and logging back in?

I have tried refreshing and seen it on more than one computer today. Still says it right now at the bottom of this very page.

That only fixed a bug related to paytv. I can't think of any way where MP could cause a device to dissapear in the devicemanager.
You could try to go back to 1.2.2, but it would be very odd if that would fix the issue (running 1x floppydtv-s, 1xfloppydtv-s2 and one firedtv-s2 here)

Thank you for your prompt feedback - much appreciated!
Maybe it was related to yesterdays date ... Friday 13th ...

I re-installed 1.2.2 last night and got the same problem with disappearing cards (last time I saw this was when I was running Vista).
This morning I installed V1.2.3 again. And so far so good .... I have even rebooted ... and the cards are still there

So I guess it was just one of those coincidences ... both cards disappearing just after installation of a new version (and re-appearing the next day)

I used to use FloppyDTV cards and this used to happen periodically, usually after updates - then it seemed to stabilize for a while. Think it is weak firmware, you have to remove power cord from PC for 10 seconds to reset cards (firewire holds 5V on shutdown). I switched to Hauppaugge Nova HD-S2 cards after DigitalEverywhere dissolved (RIP) and never saw this again.

People with FloppyDTV's that keep disapearing should take a look at this forum thread.
New Firewire cables connected to the bottom connectors can do miracles and fix even what appear to be "broken" cards.

Clear your browsers cache.

Hmm,
After install everything seemed to work. But the HD TV was choppy (LAV filter).

Please check if hardware decoding is enabled in the LAV filters. (Start->Programs->LAV->LAV Video Decoder). LAV might have forgot its settings on the update.

Flip,.

That was the problem. Enabled - and everything back to normal. Thanks.

Hi,
yesterday i finally had time to update to 1.2.3. TV Switching seems a bittle faster and the UI is smoother.
It also resolved an issue with a 30 sec. freeze after wakeup.

Thanks a lot!

So, when I try to download it today, it won't connect to SourceForge, and when I go to SourceForge directly it still won't download. I tried different mirrors as well as the link from the home page.
