Hi all,

I am having problems when using MediaPortal 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 with my Technisat Skystar HD2.
Tunning goes perfectly, for test purpose I am only using one of my 3 TV cards at the moment, but I tried each card idenpendently and all together without problem.

My problem is the following, when using the DVBS card only the first timeshifting works, for all the subsequent tries it cannot start graph. If I use the DVB card, no problem.

The only way to preview another channel is to restart the TV-Server service.

I did a fresh install of my XP, no MDAPI filter or any other plugin.

The logs are attached (some comments were added). There is also an error for a missing dcom object, but I guess it is normal as it search for a Vista plugin : NSNP.ax (Microsoft Network Provider for MPEG2 based networks.) which does not exists on XP.


I have spent a week trying to reproduce and isolate the problem, some information was also found on the forum but nothing close enough to what I have.



Many thanks for your help.

I have a skystar HD2 working ok. My driver is version 1.1.0.402 though. Maybe see if you can get hold of that version and try it.

Hi richy759,


I used the drivers from the disk I received rather than the latest ones from the net and it works now !
Having a quick look at the Technisat website, it seems they have added new 'fast switching' capabilities to the latest version which may cause the problem.

Many thanks for your quick answer
