No video or audio signal on BBC3 and BBC4 but... (2 Viewers)

[Lomax01]

when a scheduled recording ran on BBC3 last night, it recorded the audio and video perfectly. After the recording I again tried to view the channel but to no avail.

Any ideas?

P.S. Specs are on the left.

P.P.S. Both channels have been working previously.

EDIT: I have run ScanChannelsBDA and it shows the following on the 530000 frequency:

Card 1; Signal Locked = N; Present = N; Strength = -41000; Quality = 0
Card 2; Signal Locked = Y; Present = Y; Strength = 1000; Quality = 100

Hi,

With an SVN from last week or the week before, I am seeing the same. I don't seem to be able to view BBC3, but it records fine.

I will check a newer SVN at the weekend, and if the problems is still there, I will post logs. Maybe there will be something that is of use to the developers.

Cheers,

Mark

Same with SVN's from Today

I've just upgraded to TV3 16519 and everything is working perfectly. The reason I hadn't tried updating sooner is because a previous update had messed everything up and I had to do a clean install, including os, to get everything back to 'normal'.

Strange that's the same version that I am running.

I have also enable the new filter for .ts files, as per the thread:

Hi Guys

There does not seem to be a simple answer to this, enabling some of the extra things like the tswriter\tsreader may solve problems for some people, hopefully with a bit of finetuning things will be resolved, glad to hear Lomax01 is having some success.

Clean install does solve a lot of things for sure, just updated my Codec pack (Vista codec pack) and found a few probs, luckily Filemerit pointed me to them, so was able to correct, innocent things sometimes come up and bite your ass.

A clean install certainly did help me but it's a right royal pain in the a**e!! I certainly agree with Paranoid on things like Filemerit. I would also suggest that you establish a 'safe' version to go back to i.e. one you know works with your setup; that way, if something screws up and you go back to your safe version and it still doesn't work then a bit of extra detective work may be required.

Ghosting your system is the quickest way of restoring things, never regarded Norton highly, to much of a resource hog, but Norton Ghost has saved me quite a bit of grief in the past.

From being here so long and having done it made the mistakes etc, half the problems are codec related (alright quarter have been known to exagerate), would be nice to say this is your whole system, format hard disk and install everything you need (perfect world), nope we have this and that program we like, whether it screws up everything else (sorry Nero) has nothing to do with it.

These are my thoughts and nothing to do with Mediaportal.

Sorted it.

I had to do a channel tune after 7pm when these channels are live - probably lost the CBBC and CBeebies channels now. I think it has something to do with these two sets of channels sharing the same stream - one of them until 7pm on a night and the other starting at 7pm. To get both channels I guess I will have to note down the working channels - retune when the other ones are working and then manually edit the channel details - only to lose it all when I scan for new channels? Unless somebody else has a better way.

Thanks
Richard.
