No Signal on Tuner Cards - Clean Install MP 1.16 (1 Viewer)

[porky996t]

Hi Guys,

I'm in the middle of doing a clean install of MP 1.16, and when I come to scan both my tuner cards, there is no signal whatsover showing on either card when scanned. One card is a Quad DVB-T/T2 (TBS 6284) and the other is a Quad DVB-S/S2 (TBS 6984). I find this quite odd, as these two cards have worked flawlessly for around 4-5 years, and for both to be showing 'No Signal' is a little strange.

I have removed and re-installed the drivers, and also swapped PCIe slots too for them and still the same result.

I'd be grateful of any advice,

(attached are logs - most recent scan was at 12:58)

Thank you in advance,

Tuner loading is completely failing because TsWriter is missing:

Possibly you didn't install TV Server with admin privileges, or you (Windows update) removed/changed TsWriter pre-requisites after TV Server installed... or maybe you're using a non-standard version of TV Server?

I suggest full product cleanup, then reinstall standard MP/TV Server with admin privileges.

Thanks MM,

I'll do a full clean re-install and see what happens from there. I did use the Sky EPG Grabber version that @Brownard had worked on, so that may be the problem. I'll re-install using the stock MP 1.16, then re-install over that with the Skt Grabber version.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm very grateful.

I suspected you might have been.

Please, if you're using a non-standard version of MP, the only place to get support is from the person who provided that version to you. That's team policy. Please respect it. Thanks for your understanding.

I did a clean uninstall, cleared everything inc SQL - downloaded and installed the 'regular' MP 1.16 and still the same thing happening when scanning.

I'm just formatting the SSD now and will start from a clean install of Win7. There is some junk on the server that I didn't use anyway, so hopefully, that should sort it.

Thanks again.
