I all, I just got MP installed and am very impresse with the appearance and all the program has to offer but i cannot get it to work :

• When I was doing the initial channel scan in MP Setup, windows would say that "MP has encountered an error and needs to close". This would happen at random intervals so I manually shortend the transponder list to two transponders so that it would complete successfully.

• Then everything that I do in MyTV produces a blank error:

• The other thing is that TV will not play. PIDs and frequencies are set correctly but i just see black and there is no audio. Local AVIs and MPEGs play back fine. Live TV works fine in DVBviewer.

I tried reinstalling MP and did a repair to NetFramework but it still does not work.

Any ideas?
Bob

AFAIK you need TVE3 for full support of this card, really is worth it.
