PMT Pid wasn't found on the PAT (1 Viewer)

[DiePlage]

Hello Folks,

recently I'm having problems to tune to TV- /Radio-Stations. On the client, nothing happens for a while, then I am thrown back at the EPG / Channellist.
On the TV-Server, there are dozens of these messages:


26-10-2011 09:38:18.923 PMT Pid wasn't found on the PAT. Channel may have moved, try a new channel scan.
26-10-2011 09:38:19.17 PMT Pid wasn't found on the PAT. Channel may have moved, try a new channel scan.
26-10-2011 09:38:19.110 PMT Pid wasn't found on the PAT. Channel may have moved, try a new channel scan.


When this occurs, I usually do a quick channel scan on all 4 tuners and the problem is gone. However, I have to do this almost every morning. Does anyone know a real solution for this?

TV-Server Logs attached. On the Client, there are no logs written at this time.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers!

Some really fast support guys at DigitalDevices had a look into my tuner-log and it turned out that some other processes were locking tuners on the TV-Card (Resource-Conflict on Tuner XX) . This could have been some remainders of Windows Mediacenter. I chose to prevent mediacenter services startup by policy.
Now I will do some testing and see if that was the problem.

Just wanted to let you know.

Cheers!

Hi DiePlage

Does the TV Server ever go to sleep?

Hi mm1352000,
no, there are no energy saving options enabled on the TV-Server.
So far it looks like Windows Mediacenter really was the problem. Maybe it was trying to update EPG infos or something.
I have now (again) set all MC Services to "disabled"
As the problem occured quite regularily, I will be able to tell for sure early next week.

Besides that I must say that the digital devices cards run really well (and I've had my share of different TV-cards...)

Cheers!
