[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1290064, member: 141969"] The TV Server component of MP has been unchanged for years, but it is always possible for a config file to have acquired an incorrect value (that is just a guess), so re-installing MP might be worth trying. If you decide to go this route, you ought to remove all traces of MP and MySQL, so that it looks like a first-time install. This means: [LIST] [*]Stopping the TVService and MySQL services. [*]Running the MP uninstall tool and the MySQL uninstall tool. [*]Removing all folders in "ProgramData", "Program Files", and "Program Files (x86)" that have "MediaPortal" or "MySQL" in the name. [*]Reboot. [*]Run the MP installer with the internet accessed. [/LIST] However, as most of your channels are receivable, it seems to me to be less likely that this will solve your problem. My understanding is that "NoPMT" means that MP can receive successfully the UHF frequency that contains a particular set of channels, but that that UHF frequency does not contain the specific channels listed as not found. The usual explanation for this is that the channels have moved to a different frequency (this is stated repeatedly in the log file "tvserver_TsWriter.log". This raises the question of how MP knows what channels to expect at each frequency. Typically, TV Server scans the frequencies defined in a config file, but discovers the specific channels at each frequency by examining the datastream. If TV Server is diagnosing "NoPMT" for the missing channels and specifying the channel name, it is presumably using the existing channel definitions in TV Server's channel database. So...
