m having nothing but grief with my DVICO Fusion card. Can someone recommend a tuner card that works really well with MP?

    You forgot DVB-T.

    Seriously i have a Dvico dual (original) which works fine with MP, besides a usb standby issue which pvr-scheduler sorted.

    Hey Dexx, I live in Aus and I have 3 different TV cards working with MP.

    1. Leadtek DVT-1000T costs around $50 - $60
    2. Twinhan VP3020C - $60 (Old card newer model)
    3. Dvico Fusion Dual 2 $150

    All cards work fine. The leadtek is a little bit slower changing channels eg: 3-4 sec. All cards do HD as well.

    Another brand to look at is digitalnow http://www.digitalnow.com.au/
    I have a mate who has the usb and a pci version of their cards and works flawlessly.

    PS. Make sure the cards is MCE supported (BDA drivers)

    Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

    Is this solved? I've had the same, or maybe just similar, issue for a while now, and I've narrowed it down to Onlinevideos getting MediaPortal stuck on the plugin loading stage of startup. Installing the former stable version now, and MediaPortal seems to start without issues. This usually happens when I start windows and...

    Thanks guys. Ok, spent the (whole) weekend on this lol. First; TVHeadend/Kodi.... Nah. Given up on that - 'non-tech'; its horrible. 'Tech' - a few reasons but mostly that it is buggy. It is actually a real shame as it does have potential and promises a lot (was great to have Kodi on my phone and be able to watch live/recordings...

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record
