    Yogiman,

    Yes it seems a bug with the MediaPortal Stream Analyser. This is being replaced in the future TV engine so I suggest you add the channels manually until the new release.

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back to be. This makes sense and I look forward to the replacement software.

    I am however conffused as to how exactly I add a channel manually as the data for all the required fields is not available on for example astras channel information see this link:

    http://www.ses-astra.com/backoffice/findAChannel_en/index.php?action=viewChannel&channelID=100281

    If I can not give it all the required information I assume it won't let me add the channel?

    Thanks for all your help.


    Yogiman!

    Did you add these channels manually ?

    I have the same problem. I am missing BBC3/4 and ITV 2&4.

    I will try and add these manually, but if you have the MP numbers for the channel creation -- that would be great -- save me a puzzle :)

    Thanks

    - Dave

    Hi Dave,

    Sorry mate I tried to add the channels manually and they still don't appear in the channel list. So don't actually have them. I am hoping that the new engine will fix the problem.

    Regards

    hye guys!
    Stop searching for the bug. I have had these weird channel-search-problem too. Turns out that there is no full diseqc-support for The Nova-s plus implemented. I talked to the programmers, and they told me that someone has to implement disqc-support for this card himself. The MP-programmers wont do that, because they cant or wont...
    MP actualy can't switch between the diseqc-modes or something. If u use another prog and watch on the desired channel MP will find it, but none of the channels on the other diseqc and vice versa..... so someone needs to implement diseqc-support for that card

    mmm...I dont understand. I only have one dish, so I am not using diseqc.

    DISEqC allows for switching between multiple sources.

    Hi

    I think this must be a white elephant so to speak.

    If DISEqC was the problem then I would not have been able to use my DVB-S Nova-S Plus previously.

    I have checked Hauppauges forum which is not a lot of good and lots of people are having the same problems even with Hauppauges own software!

    Someone on there has suggested that its to do with a patch MS applied, can't comment on that as the patch refers to a change back in May and my card was still working until July with all current Microsoft Patches applied.

    Have to say this is a really odd one!

    Yogiman!

    Im with you Yogiman.

    I believe it is a problem, somewhere in the DirectShow area. So, either an MS breakage or a problem with the MediaPortal Stream Analyser.

    Thinking about it, I must have a try with MyTheatre -- that doesnt use the MS DirectShow filters for controlling the streams and also would obviously remove the MSA -- if it works it would at least prove the problem is DirectShow [or driver :( !!] related.

    Regards

    I see what your saying but if it was the MP Stream Analyser then the card would work using the Hauppage software! Don't your think?

    Cheers
