[QUOTE="druid9, post: 294047, member: 28347"] First Time I have felt disappointed since I started fiddling with MediaPortal about 3 years ago. With installation of RC2, TV is now unwatchable. I think there could be a couple of possibilities. 1. To get rid of the "Quartz too buggy" popup, I needed to upgrade Windows Media Player to version 11 and run the video flicker hotfix, as listed in the wiki. I believe the latter updates quartz.dll, maybe this new version is buggier than the old one. I seem to recall that in previous M$ updates to this file there were more bugs than the old one. I am hoping that this is not the problem, as it might mean I can't go back. 2. I am in a fairly poor reception area, signal strength is around 50% and quality at close to 100%. MAybe the new TS reader is too sensitive for where I am. Certainly applying the new version posted in this thread stops the flicker, but the amount of pixelation makes the TV unwatchable. I have lots of continuity errors in the TS reader log, so maybe this is the problem. I have noted that a lot of the posters in this thread are also from Australia, where our TV coverage is not so good as in other parts of the world, and where almost everyone is using DVB-T. Coincidence? If poor reception is my issue, I am stuffed. None of this was an issue with RC1 I have attached logs (if only I could remember how) for anyone who wants to look, am now reinstalling RC1. I hope this can be fixed. On a side note, it would seem to me that an upgrade to something as fundamental as a TS reader, a required upgrade to Windoze system files, and an enforced upgrade to a relatively fundamental piece of software like WMP with all of its attached hooks into Windows media capabilities is a little beyond the progression from RC1 to RC2. Would have thought that with the issue of a release candidate, only very minor bug fixes would be needed. RC1 was absolutely rock solid for me, maybe it should have been left alone - at least by me.
