Hi,
my mediaportal has been runing well, with only the quattos tv tuner card(its is 2 x dvb-t and 2 X dvb-s),
but Ive bought a tiny twin USB 2 tuner card(it is a 2 x dvbt using af9015 chips)and now and its having problems.

In device manager sometimes - often - the tinytwin "disappears" after reboot or resume, causing mediaportal to crash- and mess up preset recording.
I tried MCE standby tool, but it didnt help.
Ive tried - the newer tinytwin drivers from the download page
-the mce standby tool
-different usb ports
-reinstalling the USB drivers for my motherboard.
-yelling at it.

My usb keyboard mouse and MCE remote all work ok.. And when i unplug it and re plug it , it is found again.

Maybe i should have bought a pcie tv card instead.

any ideas??

Drivers are not initialising quickly enough, go to TVServer config\general\delay, set delay detect cards to either 20 - 30 seconds.

also in TVServer\plugins\powerscheduler make sure reinitialise tv cards is enabled.

thanks for the quick reply!
I have tried those things but no go- I think it is a prob with my xp-mobo-usb and not a mp issue.
The device vanishes from xp's device manager so mp hasnt got anything to find.
