[QUOTE="czero, post: 394671, member: 78997"] I have the timeshift problem every time I reinstall MediaPortal, because I keep forgetting what it is ;). Here is the fix for me for your Cannot start timeshifting problem ( I don't think it fixes your blank screen issue, but the cannot start problem is familliar to me): You probably have a software decoding tv-tuner.
