This morning everything was fine while watching "Nederland 1 HD". Now I am not able to watch that HD channel anymore, while other HD and SD channels are still OK. Now when I zap to "Nederland 1 HD" the channel I was watching before is frozen for five minutes and no buttons on my remote control are responding during that time. After those five minutes I can continue watching TV, but still not "Nederland 1 HD".

Reinstalling TV-Server did not solve the problem. Also rescanning all channels was not a solution. With FireDTV Viewer (the program coming with my FireDTV card) I am able to watch "Nederland 1 HD" so it seems not to be a problem with the cable signal.

In the tvserver-error.txt there is a database connection error with something about a 300 seconds time out. I think this might be an indication why there is a freeze for exactly five minutes.

Hope that someone can help.

Fixed.

It seems that my cable provider made a change on this channel. After a second channel rescan everything was fine again. I hope that someone can find out why TVServer is acting so strange when it's unable to display a channel. I think the 300 seconds database time-out error is new with the latest SVN build (revision 19936).
