Hello
I was previously using MythTv using a Divico Fusion Dual Express PCIe and a Kworld Dual AF9015 which worked very well for years however I wanted to run Windows 10 so I tested MediaPortal.
I initially installed version 1.12 with Windows 10 with the media extensions which recognised the AF9015 card but was very inconsistent scanning channels and did not see the Fusion card at all even though the Windows device manager showed it installed and running. I tested the Fusion in a Windows 7 machine with Media Centre and it worked perfectly even with an internal antenna.
I removed MP1.12 totally and installed MP 2.0 fresh and it saw both cards but would not scan any channels on the fusion card. In the end I removed the fusion card and tested with just the dual AF9015 connected, the current configuration. It shows a good signal and found 29 channels however when I watch Live TV the quality is terrible freezing and pixelating on all channels. Totally unwatchable. I looks like a very poor signal quality but is connected to a very good reliable antenna point.
The Media server that hosts MP 2-0 is a Lenovo M6072-ADM Core Duo E6550 2.33 GHZ with 4 gig RAM which ran MythTv perfectly and later Windows 7 Media Centre connected into the very same antenna point in the house, same computer hardware. With Windows 10 and MP 2.0 it is total rubbish. I have disconnected the antenna completely from the TV card and the picture quality is almost no difference and reconnect with no improvement. Surprising it does not drop the channels just sjhows consistent poor quality. If I connect the same antenna cable to the Topfield PVR in the same entertainment centre or the Panasonic digital TV I get perfect picture on all channels but using the same antenna to the computer running MP 2.0 a picture as if no antenna was connected.
The scan channels interface within the TV configuration application it reports a good signal and I am in a good reception area in Adelaide.
What should I do to fix the TV quality issues?
