[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 805013, member: 82144"] Hi again Lee Discontinuities could simply mean bad signal quality. What makes you so certain that the tuner is faulty? I wouldn't confirm that without a few more tests. 1. Ensure that the timeshifting and recording folder(s) are excluded from any virus scanner. 2. Try using a 7200rpm HDD (separate from the OS drive if possible) for timeshifting and recording. 3. Check your dish alignment, cables and connectors. Don't make the mistake of assuming that your signal and cabling is okay just because another STB or tuner works fine. Tuners are all different - they have different sensitivity and signal level requirements. Did the tuner work well in the past and then stop working at some point? Discontinuities in TsWriter logs rule out everything except: - the tuning parameters - the tuner hardware - the tuner driver - the HDD - dish alignment - cabling - connectors - splitters/switches - LNB - interference The tuner hardware is only one possibility in that list. If I were you I'd keep my mind open and try some more options if you haven't done so already. It isn't required. You should restart the PC after installing the drivers. If TV Server thinks it is a completely new tuner then you *could* rescan... or you could simply [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/2_Mapping"]link the channels[/URL] to the "new" tuner and remove the old one. If I were you, I would export my complete channel list and groups using the built in import/export function, then I'd delete all channels, update the satellite transponder lists (click "update satellite list" in the scanning section for that tuner in TV Server configuration), and then do a full rescan. That should eliminate the tuning parameters option I mentioned above. mm [/QUOTE]
