[QUOTE="ChrisOfCatford, post: 698091, member: 23650"] Hi, Well this is strange: The bundled software works just fine. Both tuners. Channel scan was quite quick (not as fast as MP usuallly scans a working card) and CPU did not get excessively high. I have attached a screen shot of both tuners doing their stuff HyperMediaCenter. So, maybe an MP problem with this card???? Can't wait to tell the retailer that I got it wrong (oops). I think I now have the card scanning on the second tuner in MP still waiting for TV Service config to respond... OK, after 5 minutes, some joy. I get a successful scan on the second tuner. I have put both Peak tuners at the top of the priority list and runn MP on the server. On attempting to tune to BBC1, I get a freeze. The same sort of length as the original freeze before scanning so far.... Still waiting CPU at 54% and constant. No TV after quite some time still. This is in the tv service log: And this is in the MP log (Strangely): After some time, I get TV come up and CPU drops to normal. Not sure if this card is being used. It probably goes through both tuners doing the same thing, before finally finding my working cards I suppose... No, MP is using the second tuner (I will try to reverse priority and see if one tuner is working).... TV service taking ages to start after changing priorities... CPU again over 54%... I guess when this drops, this will continue. Log says this now: CPU dropped and TV server config closed. MP now says "No free card availible" on attempting to tune. All cards type stated as "Unknown" in TV service config. Restarted TV service and all cards have DVB-T type again. Tried TV, MP hangs for now. CPU at 54%.. TV will probably start in a while... There it is. TV server config says that the second tuner on the Peak card is doing the work. This is a cheap card which I am sure could be made to work. Is anybody interested in getting to the bottom of this (as I may have 2 cards like this to play with :D )? I can test any suggestions in the next few days... There must be a way. Thanks and sorry for the long post, Chris [/QUOTE]
