Often after resume MP say No signal on selected TV channel, but if i choose the first one in EPG i.e RAI1 the tv tuner start working again in all channel.

I attach last log of tv and Mediaportal where is clear the no signal behavior and after you will find the unlock made by RAI1 channel

THis is the sequence to investigate...

Hi webcris77

Try to use "stop card" instead of "pause card" ("when card enters idle state..." -->here<--).

[webcris77]

I use already Stop the card instead of Pause card:sorry:

 

[mm1352000]

So you changed that recently? The last time your tuner was stopped in your logs shows that it was paused:

Unfortunately but with STOP instead PAUSE i had the same behaviour.
After resume 90% of time MP SAY no signal.
I attach the new log.
can you help me please

Hi again

If you're going to preload the tuner then you could try giving more time for the tuner to reinitialise after standby ("delay before TV Server detects cards" - wiki). To be honest Terratec/Twinhan/Technisat tuners seem to have a habit of doing this - maybe bad drivers, I don't know. You may need to resort to writing scripts that use devcon to disable the tuner before standby and re-enable it after resume.

I notice that with powerscheduler++ 1.2.5.1 after some wakeup the "restart TVservice and reinitialize tuner" is missing.
The new plugin lost this flag.
After re-setting this flag all return work fine....
Thanks

UPDATE:
If i continue sleep / resume (after setting flag to reinitialize tuner on powerscheduler++ and setting stop on tv card) all works well, the issue appera only after long sleep (2 hours is enough) when i resume i get message of "no signal" and i have to restart all system.
i use the latest driver of terratec h7 available on terratec site and i have set no power saving on USB device on windows 7 professional.
Help me please.

Hi again

If you're already using "stop card", you're reinitialising TV Server on resume, and you've increased the delay before TV Server detects cards then I don't think there is anything that I can do to help you further with this problem. To me it sounds like a driver issue which means that you should raise the problem with Terratec. One thing you could do: try using other DVB software for a while and see if you experience the same problem. From experience Terratec will probably expect you to reproduce the problem with their home cinema software before they will agree to provide support to you.

I have the same problem with firedtv and tt3650CI ...i think that the problem is in the engine of MP orPS++
