Hi All,

I have been using MP for a month or so using just my DVB-S tuners, but I keep using the tuners for recording and so recently connected up the DVB-T tuners to give me 2 more

However after scanning the channels, combining the overlapping channels with DVB-S (e.g. Channel 4 appears on both) so they didnt appear twice in guide, I hit a problem.

I am using DVB-EPG to grab all my DVB-S data (using the modified TSWriter.ax on these forums) so all channels are selected to get data. Now my DVB-T tuners are grabbing data too, the problem is they just get stuck. I can view the live TV and I can stream it from the config page so I know they are working, however UI get these errors repeating over and over in epg.log meaning it never gets to the DVB-S cards!

So it looks like it cannot tune to the channel to get EPG, but I can view the channel! Please help as I cannot get any EPG data with these tuners enabled. If i disable the DVB-T tuners then DVB-S grabbing works fine!

HELP!
