[QUOTE="rich110, post: 421684, member: 13795"] I get a very similar problem to this as well. Sometimes if we are experiencing particularly bad weather, our satellite signal can become quite weak. Over the last month or two I've noticed thatwhen this happens, the picture on some channels becomes badly broken-up, with the bottom half of the screen all green and the sound clipping in and out. I often have to reboot several times to get the picture back. Now, I totally understand that MP cannot display a good picture if the signal is weak, but what is really worrying is that MP seems unable to recover from a "weak signal event" (without a reboot) even once good signal quality returns. It almost seems to get stuck in a "weak signal state". I have 2 DVB-S cards, a TechniSat SkyStar2 and a TT S-3200, and it only ever happens to the TechniSat card (I can check using the Tuning Details option). I'm no expert, and this could in fact be a card issue, but it seems that with such a popular card as the TechniSat I would have read similar issues from other users? [/QUOTE]
