[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 782255, member: 82144"] Hi again argd I hope you are well! :) This is not a bug, but it is a really annoying behaviour. If you wait long enough, MP should show an error and become responsive again (if not, please post logs). We are intending to fix this in two ways in the next version of TV Server: 1. Detect when channels are off-air and tell you immediately with a message. 2. Don't freeze MP when TV Server is having problems tuning. In the meantime, you can reduce the "freeze" by reducing the PMT and/or SDT/VCT timeouts in TV Server configuration -->[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/06_General"]here[/URL]<--. You can sometimes (depending on your provider(s)) set both timeouts as low as 2 or 3 seconds. I'd actually like you to post logs if possible as your provider may be changing the PMT PID for some of your channels, and there is a better way of fixing that (so you wouldn't have to rescan). I can only be sure if that is the problem if I can see the logs though. mm [/QUOTE]
