    I think I have discovered the problem
    Having tried again with "Grabbing while timeshifting" set there was no EPG
    Because the TV signal appears low under Windows10 I tried using the 'BBC One South' channel instead of 'BBC One HD' and immediately got EPG
    I wonder if this is due to the low signal as I notice the picture breakup is worse on HD channels than the SD
    Unfortunatelt the 'BBC One South' SD channel does not correspond to DVB-S broadcasts so the EPG is different and for me unuseable
    But I think this is most likely the Windows 10 low TV signal problem

    Tried connecting a RC6 remote control but no success
    Only the basic keys working
    Hopefully this will be brought up to the same capability as MP1 in the future

    *Note:
    During the session I got two Error Notifications
    'Error invocking action GetNowNextProgramForGroup'
    and
    'Error Invoking GetChannels'

    I could not get a recording to start as the remote control does not respond so I right clicked using a wired mouse and attempted to start a recording
    It appeared to start as there was a red pulsing icon on the top right of the guide but when I checked the schedules under TV there was no recording shown
    When I tried to return to live TV the OS crashed

    I think my final push will be to re-install Windows7 O.S. to see if MP2 Final likes it
    If MP2 does not like Windows7 I will stick with MP1 and await further development.... (Perhaps MP2 on Linux OS? - he said hopefully)

    I have not posted logs because the system crashed and I had to Power Off to re-boot, so I guess the logs would not be much use

    I'm very dissappointed but very much appreciate your extensive help
    Thanks very much for your time
    I will definately have another go after the next main revision of MP2

    Regards

    Just remembered an error dialogue that came up during the last attempt so thought I would post it together with a couple of logs I took before the system crash

    I hope this is useful

    Having spent some time trying Win10, and eventually reverting to Windows 7, I can report that MP2 works fine with Win7
    However it turns out that MP2 does not like my BlackGold Cards
    No matter what I try the picture breaks up, or at best flashes off and back on intermittently under MP2, so there is definately something different in the way MP1 uses the card compared to MP2
    I managed a lot more attempts of using MP2 under Win10 as well as Win7 because at the moment MP1 is no advantage due to the Online Videos issue that came about while I was trying MP2
    So my original effort to get Online Videos appears to be doomed no matter what I do!

    Can you please post complete logs in debug mode and indicate when the issue occurred?

    Also are you using LAV or did you switch to some other codec?

    Using default LAV codecs option
    I am hoping the Online Videos issue will resolve soon and I will re-install and post complete logs as requested

    Please see the attached files and log
    I have better information as well in that the problems with the BlackGold TV card are only evident on SD TV channels and not on the HD
    Also, the audio is way out of sync on SD as against the HD channels which are not too bad
    The logs are from a fresh Windows10 OS install and MP2 Final

    Hi
    Wondering if the logs I supplied may have shed any light on the problems I am having trying to use MP2 with my BlackGold TV card?
    Thanks
