[QUOTE="David Rigby, post: 892051, member: 128662"] Hi, I've recently moved over from 7MC to MediaPortal aided by Robbo100's excellent guide on AVforums, things have gone well so far, but I have just hit my first major problem that I hope somebody may be able to help with. My area in the UK is moving to DVB-T2 transmissions next month, so I have added a new TV tuner in preparation for this. I'm using a PCTV nanostick (290e) which is an external USB device, as I have no free internal PCI-e slots. The hardware installs and automatically picks up drivers OK and when configured with the TV-server tool it picks up all of the current Freeview channels. However when I use live TV in MediaPortal all of the channels stutter, with the BBC channels being the worst. I've de-installed and re-installed, but still have the same problem. I've tested the Tuner with 7MC and it works fine with no stutter, so the hardware is OK. I suspect it may be a conflict with the other tuner cards in the HTPC, so I have disabled them in TV-server to see if this has an effect, but now get the message "No free card available" I've run out of ideas. Can anybody help please? TV log file attached. System specs are under my information. [/QUOTE]
