    Well, maybe for SymbolRate, I don't use DVB-C.
    But for signal strength and signal quality, I can say that many manufacturers give different calculations.
    I think that by modifying the DB, etc.. for that (it's a bit heavy, instead of change .xml), it's a bit damage to not open all the eventual (and maybe not existing today) cases...
    OFC, it can also be made later...

    The multiplier value is associated to the 'Card'. And Card's data are stored in the database.
    Well, the modification of the current tunning list can break compatibility with the other vendors/devices. I wouldn't do that.
    Of course, we can 'hard code' the multiplier only for specific device(based on name), i.e. without the checkbox option, but I'd like to keep the 'user choice'.

    What I meant was instead of create a checkbox for x1000, a textbox for a value would offer more choices.
    After that, if users put everything values in, OFC, we can't do more...
    But normally, users go there only if it doesn't work with values in .xml...
    Also, be carefull with device name, I used this, when I worked on different signal calculations :

    The value in the db is stored as int (1000), so the form dialog can be later modiffied to textbox. But for now, the check box is fine.
    Also, be carefull with device name, I used this, when I worked on different signal calculations :
    The code checks the device's Name, not the path.

    Thank you, @Pablik!
    Happy new year! :)

    I like your idea for an automatic fix. For most users it's hard to understand this issue.
    And, so far only the issue with Hauppauge cards is known. In case of multipliers other than 1000 we can always add a text box later.

    I'd like to test your new TV Server version.
    Unfortunately, the SetupTv.exe shortly opens and closes without any message/GUI.
    Is a file missing?

    Can you post your logs please?
    BTW: I forgot to mention, that the compiled package is for x64 TvServer

    Yes, MP x64 is installed.
    Did you replaced the original files by the new ones?

    Standard procedure:
    • stop the TVService manually
    • replace the original files
    • execute the SetupTv.exe

    It seems to me, that you are trying to start another TVService while running the original.

    Ah, I wasn't aware of this standard procedure. :)
    Now I followed this procedure and started the TVService again. But now the TV-Server Configuration doesn't start anymore.

    I don't see any errors in the log. What happens if you execute SetupTv.exe?
