[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 627881, member: 56239"] I'd ask you to fill in your MySystem in your user cp so we can know your configuration. Speaking ignorantly, is there a difference in the Canadian station configuration? I know the default values in MP are fine for us in the US on ATSC and [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/TV-Server/Configuration/GeneralSettings"]there are adjustments you can make [/URL]in the TV-Server section. I'm not advocating this but simply letting you know. I too had been running 0.2.3 on a really old system and 1.0.2 on my last one... I got to where I liked how on 1.0.2 I selected the server/client installation whereby a TVService runs at the system level controlling the tuners and recording your scheduled recordings... no longer do you have MP running minimized in the system tray all the time! I'd read your logs but it sounds like you have a bad splitter, or a really questionable coax cable - try hooking your 'converter' box to the feed you hook up to your 2250 and see if it's still 100% - I'd bet not! I've not had any problem with MP or my tuners seeing a variable quality signal - as with digital it's either on or off! As you see in My System, I have the 1600 and it works great! In fact, all my tuners do fine although the hauppauge driver doesn't give both signal quality and signal strength to MP - just one (and I can't recall which). The AVerMedia Duet is a bargain - 2 ATSC tuners on a PCI-e X1 slot and excellent performance! I'm even using my old ATi HDTV-Wonder and it's doing a bang-up job as well! Sounds like your OTA antenna signal strength is questionable... look into that and let us know! If you'd like a more critical review, use the RC4 MediaPortal Debug tool to capture your tv.log when you do a rescan of the ATSC letting us know which stations you get, got and didn't get! [/QUOTE]
