Hi

First time I try to make a bug report here so probably doing everything wrong. :sorry:

My old HTPC gave up a week ago so I bought a Asus eee box 1501U. Moved my old DVB-T card to the new computer and installed Mediaportal. When I used the TV-card in my old computer I never had any problems with it, very stable. But now it takes several seconds to change channel and sometimes it wont change channel at all. In the tvserver_tv.log you can see the message:

card: WaitForTimeShiftFile - no audio was found after 5,002 seconds

(The 5 second timeout is maybe a little low but because the TerraTec is a dual turner stick I had to wait forever before I got the time out before, thats why I lowered it. I do not get the error more often now).

When I get the error I can try again and then the channel works as it should. I tried another USB DVB-T stick in this computer and it worked perfect, changing channel took a couple of seconds. My Terratec never switch channels that fast, either slow or not at all.

Hope someone can understand my poor description and help me, Im going crazy over this...

Thank you very much in advance!

Try to change provider from generic to DVB-T in card properties in setuptv.

You can also try to preload the card.

Changing provider to DVB-T did the trick, thank you very much!

Thought I tested almost everything but perhaps I did not dare because the warning text next to this opion. I have no idea what caused this (the change from XP to Win 7, new hardware) but never mind, it works!

Again, thank you, keep up the good work!

Just a quick thanks to say this drastically sped-up my channel changing using Dvico Dual DVB-T card in Australia. Thanks !
