    Over the last week or so I have had a few occasions where the PC has become basically unusable after resume from S3. Looking at it TVService.exe is running at 50% CPU but on the manual control page in the config app it shows all cards as idle.

    Logs attached.

    I think this might be down to a slight EPG grabbing issue.

    I have a card with dual DVB-S and dual DVB-T. I use the modified tswriter to get the EPG from Freesat

    I think the issue might arise in that some channels are on both Freeview (DVB-T) and Freesat (DVB-S) so have been combined in MP config. This is fine except you only get the chance to get EPG data from channel or not. Freeview works by every channel having their own data and Freesat works via one (or two) channels carrying the EPG for all the channels.

    This seems to lead to errors as MP can not pickup EPG data from the DVB-S source (as it is not there) and this seems to lead to massive problems

    Does this sound plausible??
