[QUOTE="Anna21, post: 523454, member: 58656"] Hi, I'm having some funny tuning problems also. Recently Channel Five stopped working (I think after a rescan). Tried rescanning but had no luck. I then completely uninstalled MP and reinstalled. Scanned both DVB-T tuners (Nova-T500) and all seems fine - all channels found. Tried timeshifting in "Manual Control" and worked fine. Then tried in MP. I selected BBC1 from TV guide and it just hangs MP. Then ended MP in Task Manager (it didn't say that MP was not responding by the way). Tried loads of times with no luck. Ended up clean installing Vista, reinstalling MP and still the same problem. I thought my Nova-T500 must be up the creek, so I bought a cheepie dual USB tuner from maplin. Scanned for channels and as before have no problems. Tried in MP and exactly the same thing - just hangs when you select BBC1. I then tried installing MP 1.0.2 (instead of the 1.1 Beta). Same problem. Here's the weird bit. I found that if I start TV on the Dave channel, it starts fine. I can then change to any channel and it works! This only seems to work with the Dave channel (I've tried on many others and it hangs). So, what's that all about?! More info! Okay, found out how to make it work. When it hangs I just forward to the end of the TV buffer and it works. Still works first time on the Dave channel as well. So strange! Well, I now have four tuners, so all worked out in the end. If anybody knows a way that I can start TV without forwarding to the end of the buffer I would love to know... thanks [/QUOTE]
