Turning off TV doesn't properly turn it off (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I got a Terratec H7 card which has a green and blue light, the blue light shows when the card is actively receiving signal. When first hitting turn TV on the light goes blue, when changing channel it turns off and then on like it should. But when turning off the TV is remains active. So because of this the box runs a little too hot as its on 24/7. When restarting the TV service the blue light turns off like it should, so it feels like the TV service wont put the card to inactive even when turning the TV stream off.

Is this a bug or is the card supposed to remain active even though there is nothing using the TV stream?

Cheers.

TV server doesn't close the directshow graph when stopping playback. This is done on purpose so that the next startup of tv is not as slow as the first one.

Damn little what I expected, is it possible to make a plugin to close the directshow graph when closing the TV stream, or is it out of reach?

There is debug option for that: search resetgraph.txt or if using latest SVN debugoptions must be used and change setting from tool.
