    I use a - TechnoTrend Budget S2-1600 TV Card.
    Signal level is at 69, signal quality is 100. Is the low signal level o.k? or do i have to adjust my Sat antenna?

    :D

    BDA drivers have multiple different ways of telling signal / quality levels (there is no good way to know in what "format" those are reported by the HW / driver). So what MP reports is not any valid value, just something that could tell if signal is worser or better when you change a cable for example.

    If you have no blocky frames with live tv / recordings -> no need to do anything. Also if TsReader.log doesn't show any huge amount of discontinuity errors -> no need to do anything.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    MP1 MP2 An installation report - older hardware and why I used 1.33 not 1.38 DE
    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    MP1 MP2 Scanning & Mapping channels DE
    I note that you are using MP2. The following applies to MP1, but I think that MP2 is identical in this situation. "TV Server Config" has a "TV Mapping" panel in the "TV Channels" section. On the "TV Mapping" tab: The left column lists the channels that have not yet been mapped to the TV tuner identified by the drop-down menu just...
