[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 716364, member: 82144"] Hi again Phaedra Hmm, interesting. I thought you said the loss of signal just randomly happened and that you saw it happening when the TV timeshifting froze... If you take channel freezing or stutter as a problem in isolation of the other symptoms you described then the stuttering patch (included in 1.2.0b) is a good thing to try. It looks like you're using a 1.5TB HDD. I'm only guessing, but since most 1.5TB drives are ~5400rpm "green" drives, I suspect your HDD is a "green" drive too. Those slower HDDs are quickly building a reputation for causing trouble. MediaPortal has quite high I/O requirements on the HDD, and non-7200rpm drives often can't cope. Especially if they are the OS drive or being used for other things at the same time. I suggest you keep using the patch.
