[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1304577, member: 141969"] I have encountered this also, although not necessarily due to the same cause. In my case it seems to be caused by the fact that TV Server has stopped. The MP client tries to connect to TV Server during startup (i.e. the splash screen), and ends up in a wait state. I [i]think[/i] that if you wait long enough you may get to the MP "Home" panel where you could use MP without TV. However, I don't have enough patience to do that, so it is a case of CTRL_ALT_DEL, start "Task Manager", and then "End Task". So, the next time that it happens to you, I would suggest that you go to the Windows "Services" panel and check whether the "TV Service" is running or stopped. For me, the next question is why is TV Server stopping unexpectedly? From the TV Server logs it looks to be caused by an SQL error of some sort. My suspicion is that it is caused by incorrect handling of scheduled series recordings where the user has cancelled an episode (so that it does not record). I cancel single episodes quite frequently, because of the multiple repeats that are broadcast on some channels. Unfortunately I know nothing about the internals of TV Server, and nothing about SQL, so really I am just guessing. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
