[QUOTE="Anna21, post: 523580, member: 58656"] Been using Mediaportal for almost three years now. Been a bumpy ride! Started off with a substandard system, that I have since upgraded. Had loads of problems in the early days, but the last year has been a dream. And just when I was feeling comfortable it happened... 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?! I've found that I can often start TV with BBC1 if I forward to the end of the TV buffer (like the old days!). Doesn't always work. Any suggestions guys? [/QUOTE]
