If i switch the channel from one TV-card (DVB-S) to the second TV-CARD (DVB-S)and back the video stoped. this is every time i switch the card.
I must press the button tv-on.
The same problem is in single-seat and multi-seat.
This problem i have after release 17093.

On UK Astra 28.2 & Mendip transmitter, channel changes across cards now much better, for me.

Sky HD channels now ok, some stutter on Discovery HD, this has all ways been the case, this channel is not best from HD box either.

Get black screen from server preview for sky sports ordinary channels 1,2,3 & extra no.s 1954, 1955, 1957 & 1975. In MP picture is from last viewable channel.

Logs attached, going from viewable to black screen channels & back.

Thanks for all the hard work guys.

Hi,

Seems that as you switch between encryted and non encrypted, tv just stops.
Logs attached.

National Geographic HD

And I don't know if this is related, but since ever I started testing tv-server I haven't been able to watch National Geographic HD. It gives me the first couple of frames but then it freezes. Again logs attached.

I have seen someone else complain about switching from fta to encrypted not working over in the dvbn forums, so this isn't just one person reporting that...

And just for the record, for the last few SVNs (sorry don't know exactly which yet) I have all channels working except for HD channels in NA. I do know it worked in 17009...

P.S. I haven't tested the last two SVN's or this one yet, but will soon as i get home.

This one works just fine here! (latest tested and working 17044)
Channel changes is faster. Tested with four DVB-T cards (FTA and scrambled)
Thanks again!

cant play my mpeg-records. i have test different codecs (dscaler, ffdshow, powerdvd7). Crash with some Codecs, some Codecs Black Screen without Sound. Windows Mediaplayer plays only the Sound of the Records.

Older Records work with Mediaplayer.

Edit:

TS works, but not possible to delete the TS-Files with Mediaportal

Channel switching time is improved. When switching tv-card, television stops and have to start TV in TV menu again.
I've attached log.

I did switching between DVB-S / DVB-C and analogue card

1 thing I still don't know it's normal, when switching cards, my mediaportal program will minimize to tasktray and when switching is done, mp will go fullscreen automaticaly again. This behaviour I have for as long I can remember, TV keeps working but it looks not so professional that my desktop is shown between switching cards for about 15-20 secs.
