There is handshaking between TV Server and MP, but MP should reconnect to the TV Server service if you restart TV Server.If restarting TV Server didn't help and the tuner works in other applications when TV Server says there is no lock then that tells us that we're dealing with a TV Server or TV Server settings issue. That is confirmed even more if the tuner only sometimes works after a cold boot. Comments:- initialisation (graph building) doesn't *seem* to be a problem- waiting longer for lock should be checked as suggested- the lock patch (FM radio) that was added to 1.2.0b should be tried as suggested- don't worry about fiddling with the "delay card detection" setting as long as you have confirmed hibernate + resume/cold boot->tune in TV Server (fail)->tune in other application (success)->restart TV Server->tune in TV Server (fail).- we can rule out channel settings because the tuner sometimes works with your existing channelsSorry, I should have checked DxDiag. Technically you should set the tuner up as a hybrid, but there is no reason why the analog tuner should not function properly since you're not using the DVB-T component at all. There is no need for more specific information than that...I can't find any Sysinternal tools that will show hardware handles. Checking the bundled software is still a good idea though. Also, what software are you using to check whether the tuner works when it doesn't work in MP?PC tuner chips seem to be generally *less* sensitive, especially if they are dual/twin+ tuners. Comparing your TV with the PC tuner isn't a fair comparison unless you know that the TV uses the same chips and circuits as the PC tuner (which is unlikely). Tuner chips are designed with different input signal tolerances, so a certain signal might work for one tuner but not for another. Also, I should say that signals can be too strong as well as too weak.Having a dynamic address can cause problems when resuming from hibernate. If the IP address of the network adapter changes then the database and TV Server (which bind to that IP address) can get confused. Given the information in your last post, setting a static IP address is probably not going to solve your problem.The effects of other applications can vary from tuner to tuner so this would be difficult.</blockquote>
