[QUOTE="alexirion, post: 702356, member: 101977"] [b]AW: Re: AW: Re: TeVii S480 Dual DVB-S2 HDTV PCIe supported?[/b] Hi mm1352000! No, it is excellent to find such a support you give! Would be a dream, if tv card or other hardware manufacturers would be as helpful as the Media Portal team and community is! I was doing the hibernation test with grabbing disabled before and it did not crash. But this only tells us, that accessing the tv card is a problem. Doesn't matter if it is for epg or for watching/recording tv. And only disabling EPG also causes crashing, when TV was watched. So, might not be something EPG specific. It's only a bit strange, that complete grabbing during idle time did work, while cycles of resuming/grabbing/hibernating/... did not work. I was testing the Mystique Player some months ago, so I could repeat the test with current drivers and see if it still crashes. The latest drivers (2.0.0.23) were looking stable at the first glance, as long as only one tuner was used. Some minutes of watching and zapping was no problem. But I started a recording and there it was crashing after some time (~30 minutes) and nothing else was done on the computer during that time. I also tested both tuners separately, by disabling the other one and watching TV was working on both tuners, so it's also not a problem specific to one tuner. With the 2.0.0.23 I had two times a strange crash, that was deactivating my ATI 5570 graphics card. The ATI was disabled by the BIOS and graphics was gone through the Onboard Geforce 9300.
