[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1113423, member: 82144"] Yes, absolutely. That time agrees with the TsReader log entries that I pointed out. Given that you said you weren't timeshifting, I think it is safe to conclude that is when the problem was triggered. I understand your concern, but personally I don't find the behaviour surprising. Further, I don't think there is anything more we can do to identify the cause, and therefore I don't have any expectation of identifying a solution. From my perspective the logs suggest the problem was triggered by something external to MP/TV Server. The strongest evidence for this is the fact that the stream from the tuner just stopped (the original "freeze") when TV Server wasn't actively interacting with [I]any[/I] tuners. That being said, I'm not able to positively identify the cause so I can't completely rule TV Server out of the equation. There's nothing in the application or system event log at the time of the freeze, so all I can say is that in my opinion it is highly unlikely that TV Server is directly to blame. Whether the true cause is signal strength/quality, overheating, driver issues, BDA issues, DirectShow issues, TV Server... a combination... something else... I can't say. I just don't know. There isn't enough information in the logs to confirm this, and I can't think of any other information that we could acquire now that would help us narrow it down. My gut feeling is that the cause is [I]something[/I] to do with the tuner hardware or driver, but I can't prove that. I'd like to reiterate that the logs show this problem is similar but [B]not[/B] identical to the previously experienced problem with the continuous EPG grabbing. About the subsequent failed recordings... When problems like this occur, a tuner graph rebuild (TV service restart) or even a driver reset (devcon or Windows reboot) are usually required to recover tuner function. TV Server repeatedly tried to start the recordings until the scheduled end times... but this was probably in vain. It is hard to do more than this because from TV Server's perspective there is no difference between the symptoms of this problem and the symptoms seen when trying to tune an inactive channel...
