I could guess that it is heavily connected into videocard drivers. Using Nvidia FX 5200 that has no picture at all with latest drivers. Took step back and got picture back.

I tested with TS both on and off. No difference.
Zapped trough channels in tvguide about 10 times before freezing.
Then I tested to just switch between channel 1 and 2 (NRK1 - NRK2)
after about 10 times I got the "no signal" message and MP freezes.

After this bug "no signal", i launched "Mediaportal Setup" and i go to "TV Channel". 167 KHz wad added to carrier frequency of some channels. I reenter the right frequency and and relaunch "Mediaportal" and all is OK.
I tried the fonction "Export" in "TV Channel" and after an import: the DVB-T datas of all channels were wrong.
For the bug "no signal", i launch mediaportal with "high priority with "start /high mediaportal.exe" and i have less problem.
For your information, i have two DVB-T Card:
Hauppauge PCI Nova-T and a Pinnacle Mediacenter 300i.
When i scan with the hauppauge, i detect all 28 french channels with the right carrier frequency. I rename all channels with "H_<Channel name>"
When i scan with the Pinnacle, I detect all 28 french channels with "the right carrier frequency + 167 khZ". I rename all channels with "P_<Channel name>"
I create 2 groups Hauppage et Pinnacle. I put all "H_*" channels in hauppauge group and all "P_*" channels in Pinnacle group.
In Mediaportal TV, when i change channel and group to see TV, sometime some DVB-T datas became wrong and I can't see some channel... I must re-enter in "mediaportal setup" to correct information (Carrier frequency)... I don't know why...

7. Do you know of any tricks to re-enable TV without restarting / rebooting? Toggle TV On/Off or TS On/Off.
I loose signal on a regular basis mainly on PRIME which is a regional of SEVEN. Toggle TV On/Off usually fixes this. I have attached a log when changing from SBS2 (News) to PRIME. Black screen, then "No Signal Detected" Whenever I receive this error I always see "VMR9 stopped" in the logs.
Hope this helps resolve this issue. If you need any more logs etc let me know.

4. If you restart MP does the signal come back? (Y/N) Most of the time
5. If you change channel does the signal come back? (Y/N) Rarely
6. Do you require a reboot to be able to use TV? (Y/N) Rarely
7. Do you know of any tricks to re-enable TV without restarting / rebooting? No.
I haven't seen this on any other posts, but most of the time when the 'no signal detected' message comes up, a 'MediaPortal.exe has encountered an error' (standard XP crash message) briefly flashes on the screen before being covered again. When I exit MP (MP remains responsive), I can see the message.

p.s. btw, good work devs for moving the TV stuff into a seperate thread/appDomain - now when TV stuffs up the entire interface doesn't stuff up.
