[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 176474, member: 11550"] Hi SpooZ. First off, you can find the log files located in the Mediaportal/Logs directory. These should shed some light. You can also change the logging level in the general section of MP configuration. Slow changes could be due to signal strength, hardware, codecs or anything else. Also, most TV cards use custom drivers for their own TV software and then use pretty basic BDA drivers for everything else (dvico, I'm looking at you especially). My suggestions - 1) try out the TV server. It takes a bit to set up, but most people report much faster channel changes. 2) see if there is any software that came with your card that can measure signal strength - may need to improve things there. 3) check the timeout settings on the channel zapping. Look in the config section under general/OSD -reduce if needed. 4) experiment with different codecs or updated drivers. Maybe won't help, but never hurts. 5) if you use the TV Server, use the tweak to try out the new experimental TSReader. Hope some of this helps. If not, post back with more system details and the log files. Cheers, Marcus. [/QUOTE]
