Hi,
I've been a MP user for many years now and pretty much always got by with forum help on problems but after installing the 1.3.0 Final release last week I've hit a problem which can't resolve and may be a bug.

I have 2 tuner cards in my media-pc - dual channel DVB-T Cinergy 2400i DT & dual channel DVB-T2 Black Gold BGT3620. The latter appears as a 7231 BDA DVBT in MP tuner list and have HD freeview capability.
All was working fine under MP1.2.3 although occassionallly the BGT3620 would 'hang' and the media-pc would need shutdown to allow it to work again.

I completely uninstalled my old MP1.2.3 installation, including wiping the database and all traces from the system and did a clean install of MP1.3.0. I ran the channel scan using the BG tuners to pick up the HD channels as well as regular non-HD. All went fine and the expected channels were stored. I mapped the appropriate channels to the correct tuners, leaving out the HD ones from the Cinergy tuners.

All seemed fine until I tried tuning/recording more than one channel and also selecting any HD channel.

I've tried the manual and test options to no avail. Usually I get either a no signal response or Error.
I've attached logs in the hope that someone can spot what may be the problem. These were clean and then a 'Test Channels' run.
I thought I was on to something with this post, albeit, it was a different configuration. The Preload options on all 4 channels I have are greyed out so looks like that doesn't apply to DVB-T as that thread was for DVB-C.

Only being able to watch/record one channel is not going to cut it for long and i may have to return to MP1.2.3 in the next 24 hours if I can't find a solution. Happy to try any suggestions as if it is a bug, it would be good to identify & resolve for all!

Thanks. :)

Update - I had to revert to MP1.2.3. Did a complete 'clean' uninstall of all MP software. After MP1.2.3 installed and setup, all tuners now working as they were and should be. So it's definitely something different with MP1.3.0... (n)

I also had to revert.
