TV suddenly not tuning!! (1 Viewer)

[chrismalone]

Had been using 0.2.1.0 for about a week working fine and yesterday it suddenly stopped finding the channels.
have tried deleting mediaportal.xml and doing a new config but that hasn't helped.

also tried tuning everything in again but i don't think it found anything.
it had different signal strengths while it was retuning but it didn't say new/updated channels or anything.
this was done in Configuration.exe.

checked log folder and there's nothing in there except configuration.txt, vmr9.txt and a 650kb dvb.txt.
which all contain nothing about any errors.

the AverTV software won't find any channels either so it must be the card.

other tv's in my house still working fine.. connection still firmly plugged in..
running out of ideas..

If reinstalling the drivers\software supplied with the tvcard, and nothing tunes, check in device manager and see if your card shows up as present, if not you may have a dead or possibly even a accidently disabled card (if it shows disabled).

tried reinstalling drivers.. didn't help.

yes it is in device manager and not disabled or errors.
that's why it's weird cos it happened for almost no reason i hadn't changed anything.
just watching tv with it with mediaportal the day before.


if it was dead it would explain it but it still seems to find channel strength with the mediaportal scanner and device manager still shows it with no problems.

Had any luck fixing this?
