Update problem (1 Viewer)

[Nordfinn]

I did no more than update from 1.16 pre-relase to 1.16 final. I have updated several times before. Everything was working fine, but now I have no OTA reception. Tried a scan, but get numerous "signal locked" messages. TvService shows as running. Any hints? I haven't gotten into the nuts and bolts of MediaPortal much, since the initial setup. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit, Hauppage 1600 HVR tuner card, used for OTA only.
Thanks much,
V.

Hello

Everything was working fine, but now I have no OTA reception.

What's causing you to think you have no reception?

Tried a scan, but get numerous "signal locked" messages.

"Signal locked" means that the tuner does have reception. It's a good thing.

Any hints?

Provide more detailed info - particularly log files, but also screenshots where applicable. Without that kind of info I'm sorry to say we won't be able to assist you.

Thanks for the response. An update: Went away for a couple of weeks. Came back this week, and OTA reception working fine. I didn't change anything, so rather mysterious.

Do you use Avast security software?
In the time since your last response we've had a whole raft of people reporting similar problems. I eventually managed to nail their problems down to a bad Avast update. Maybe your situation was the same?

Yes, I do have Avast antivirus software. So probably I was another instance of the problem.
