[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 536429, member: 75318"] Hi Guys, I installed MP onto my HTPC about 1 month ago and it worked absolutely flawlessly - so much so even the GF used it :eek: About 2 weeks back I had to retune the DVB card as my local transmitter (Winter Hill - UK) freed up some bandwith so they could start DVB-T2 broadcasts. At this time I 'lost' BBC1, BBC2 and BBC News, and after gaining advice from another thread I retuned and got BBC1 and BBC 2 back, but not the BBC News Channel. Everything seemed back to normal for a few days, but as of late last week the TV side of MP has got a bit unusable. I can easily switch between the BBC channels, but if I go from BBC1 to CH4 or ITV1 then MP just freezes up. Additionally, whilst watching TV yesterday and recording it just shut down the HTPC completely. I have tried using different codecs for the TV side of things but that doesn't seem to make any difference at all. When I do change a channel it takes a couple of seconds to change and for the first 2 or 3 seconds the picture is in slow motion, then runs at normal rate. I have also noticed that the ITV channels will get a picture and sound for the first few seconds, then freeze and then runs intermittently with the picture changing every 5 seconds with a burst of sound coming through. This is just used as a HTPC, no games, no MS Office or anything like that. Many thanks in advance of somebody being able to help.
