[QUOTE="woopsicle, post: 200982, member: 59627"] Hi folks, I have recently turned to MediaPortal for my HTPC and am having issues with the TV tuners. Some background: I have two Technisat Airstar 2 PCI tuners (bought from DigitalNow) and both tuners worked fine in linux when I was using MythTV. I wanted to switch to Windows as I was having too many other issues with MythTV :) So I installed XP pro and did the MCE2005 update. Set up MediaPortal.. and all works well except for the TV part. My results using some driver versions are: 1) 4.4.1 SkyNet (non BDA) - both cards are in Device Manager as Network devices (no conflicts) - mediaportalconfig only sees one of the cards - mediaportalconfig can scan for tv channels.. finds a decent amount. - mediaportal mytv almost always reports no signal when trying to view the channels - dvbviewer (program that comes with the technisat drivers) scans and find channels. can actually watch TV maybe 3 out of 10 times I try... sometimes when it works it is quite stuttery. 2) 4.4.1 SkyNetBDA driver - both cards are in Device Manager as Sound/Media devices (no conflicts) - mediaportalconfig can see both cards but sees them as DVB-S cards and so I can't do the autotune thing or find channels - mediaportal also BSOD's and restarts my computer when I run mediaportal mytv - dvbviewer works about 3 out of 10 times (like above). I also tried some older drivers (4.1.1) but had similar experiences. I am not sure if this is related to having two cards.. as I have tried to disable one in Device Manager.. this had little difference. Does anyone have any advice.. which drivers should I be using.. and how can I overcome these issues? I know this is not totally mediaportal related (???) but I am hoping someone out there has had experience with this kind of setup. I am not too fussed if I only am able to use one card.. i just want to be able to watch TV! Just ask and I can provide more info if I have missed something out which you think is important. Cheers, woopsicle edit: attached log files.. not sure if they will help!
