New router blocking MP tv server (1 Viewer)

[johnwoots]

ive had my own netgear router with my old talktalk internet package, and yesterday changed over to sky with a new router.
Straight away my tv won't work saying no free tuner available. Even though the EPG works fine.
I've played around with the settings in the new router settings but with no luck and I'm unable to use my own netgear router as sky do not provide all the info I need (including the PPPoE details).
Further to this I can't open MP tv server configuration either.

The simple solution would be for sky to tell me the info I need , but having looked into it, they won't !

I'm assuming it's the router as the problems started as soon as I replaced it but if anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated

Try http://www.ph-mb.com/products/sky-calc work out your Sky credentials and put them into the old router?

As the router has changed (which is highly likely to be the DHCP server as well), Windows probably thinks it's on a new network so check that that the current network is set to 'private' not 'public' (which has more stringent fire-walling).

If that doesn't fix it then go into the firewall settings and make sure MediaPortal and TV service etc. are not being blocked by the firewall.

Thanks I will give it a try.
I hear also that there is an issue with the Mediaportal TV server (my version is 1.6) that it will not take another IP address? (as in having a new router) My Tv server is simply called TV server and not an ip address so would this still be the case?

My windows firewall is completely turned off for the process of elimination, but I will check my other firewall program.

Sounds more likely your local IP address has changed when changing routers. If you can remember what IP your server was when using your old router set your server to that IP by static IP on the server. The new routers range might of changed ie 192.168.0.XX to 192.168.1.XX if that's the case your need to change it within the new routers settings.

This is just a guess but logs would give the real reasons.
