[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1029793, member: 82144"] It is certainly possible that TV Server triggers a problem by interacting with the driver in a way that it doesn't expect. The difficulty is then to find out exactly what it is that we're doing that the driver doesn't like. This is really tough because logs generally get lost in a BSOD. Okay, I thought you meant that BSODs also occurred while watching TV (ie. not changing channel, not stopping/exiting TV). I'm definitely keen to see if we can figure out what is wrong. The first thing we need to know is exactly when the crash is occurring, and for this we need log files. As I said above, I think log files are usually lost in BSOD scenarios... but lets give this a shot... Please could you configure your PC to capture a minidump on BSOD. Here are instructions for XP and W7. I'd expect the instructions for W8 to be similar to W7.

Open TV Server configuration. 2. Click "open log directory" in the top left corner. 3. Zip up all the files you find in that folder and post/attach the zip file here. 4.
