[QUOTE="rayskater, post: 268314, member: 74603"] The problems boil down. The driver of the TV card seemed to be the main reason. I downgraded from 5.0.0.12, as available from the manufacturer web site, to the version 4 supplied on CD with the card. Then Scenario B (start MediaPortal twice) was working; Scenario C (recovery from standby) not. Then I found a reference to a driver 5.0.0.15 in the German section of this forum. In the download area of my dealer even version 5.0.0.19 is available. With these versions everything seems to work well. The results of Scenario C are now incredible: Power consumption in standby S3 is 4W. Pressing the power button of the remote, it takes 18 seconds until TV is up and running in full screen mode! Looking under the hood some remaining issues seem still to be there though: Remaining issue Scenario A: Switching of TV channels only works if a CI module is attached to the card. TV Server Configuration -> Manual Control reports "FTA: False" for FTA channels. Is anyone using this card without CI module attached? Remaining issue Scenario B: There still seems to be something wrong in the communication between TVServer and the driver software. After the termination of MediaPortal it is not possible to use the card with another software, e.g. TechnoTrend MediaCenter, until TVService gets stopped. TVService does not seem to release the card completely if MediaPortal is terminated or if timeshifting gets stopped manually under TV Server Configuration -> Manual Control. These remaining issues are minor, however, as MediaCenter and TVServer are working very well now! [/QUOTE]
