[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1106639, member: 82144"] Hello The cause is a tuner driver deadlock, which in turn is triggered by the EPG grabber repeatedly tuning to the same transmitter. I've seen this before with TBS tuners (for example, -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tswriter-deadlock-potential-fix.114898/page-27#post-1033205']here[/URL]<-- [follow mcraenz's posts and my responses to him]) so I suspect a TBS driver bug.
