I am new to MediaPortal. I had the TV function up and running for a day or two, but now MediaPortal freezes when I turn on the TV function. I really don't think I changed any settings. Attached are the logs.

    Hello and welcome! :)

    When you say MediaPortal is freezing...
    What is happening behind the scenes is that MediaPortal is trying (and failing!) to use each of your 6 tuners to tune the channel you requested. With your current configuration, each tuner takes approximately 25 seconds to try. 25 seconds multiplied by 6 tuners gives 2 minutes 30 seconds, which is a long time... so no wonder you think MediaPortal is freezing.

    From the log files, it looks like MediaPortal's TV Server is not receiving a stream from the tuner for the channel you tried (NFL Network HD). Immediately prior to NFL HD I can see you tried WTTG, which appears to have worked fine. A couple of days earlier I can see you were able to tune NFL Network HD with no problems.
    ...so this is a bit strange.

    Do you only have problems with certain channels?

    Regards,

    Thank you for the quick response! I tried my system again this morning and all is working normally.

    Thanks for the feedback. :)
    I'm glad the problem is gone, but do please let us know if it comes back. Intermittent problems are the worst, and I'd love to be able to figure out what was going on.

    Regards,

    If anyone ever experiences the above, I found a fix. Removing and reinstalling MP-TVSeries fixed it. It must have gotten corrupted during the reinstall of MP. I also had to do the same with TRAKT which had some issues too that were not apparent at the time. All is well once again. :cool:
