Tried to search, but I didn't find any matching posts.
Anyway, on to the story...
Decided to upgade to 1.0.0.0 RC2 the other day, but this led to MP refusing to start.
So I re-installed XP and downloaded all the updates. Also got the latest drivers for the MoBo from Gigabytes website. Lastly I finally managed to get hold of a newer driver for my TV-card (AverMedia M150).
Started MP and made a scan, found about as many channels as could be expected (both the signal strength and signal quality bars were almost 100%)- but when I try to watch TV through MP all I get is a "no signal" message.
Uninstalled the TV-Card and re-installed it with the older drivers that worked before with my earlier version of MP - still the same result.
Finally I installed the AverMedia Ultra-TV application, and using this I have no problems watching TV - but I'd sort of prefer to go the MP-route... ;)
Have unplugged the card and re-started the computer a couple of times, but none of this has had any effect.
Basically I'm thinking of simply retiring the Aver TV-card and possibly get a Hauppauge instead, but then the cheap skate in me starts to protest :D

Any ideas? - cause I'm all out of inspiration at the moment.

I thought DVBfix was only for DVB-cards...? - On the other hand, when re-reading the thread I realized my assumption might have been wrong...
Anyway, I'll give it a go today when I get home from work, thanx!
