which DVB-T card should I buy? (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone

Just a small bit of advice: tuner drivers take time to reload after resuming from sleep/hibernate. The time that it takes varies from tuner to tuner, with some taking quite a long time. If you have problems with resuming then I recommend you try to delay TV card detection using the setting in TV Server configuration in the "General" section.

TRied that all out and it didn't do any better with delay, even with an eternity of delay. I am having those problems only sometimes though and I am having them ever since using MP with several new installations and all different versions of MP.
I hope the new card will do better.

By the way, I just ordered a terratek cinergy t pcie dual.

Are you also set up with a static IP address?
TV Server and the DB won't like resuming from sleep/hibernate if your DHCP IP address lease has expired and you get a new IP address...

I am using a single seat setup.

I am using a single seat setup.

Doesn't matter if you're on single seat or multi seat. The point is that if the network adapter IP address changes then TV Server and the DB get confused because they don't know which IP address to bind to. The streaming server is initialised by TV Server regardless of whether you use it or not...

OK guys, I've got a Cinergy T PCIe Dual now and I can only recommend it, too. All problems with non working TV after resume from standby are gone.
Now my HTPC's last flaw is gone and it works as I want it to. And the WAF has raised tremendously.

Hi everybody, currently using a Cinergy 2400i, and I was quite happy until I decided to upgrade to 1.1.2 when activated the epg over the DVB-T stream. I was suffering tvserver issues (no stream to MP clients) once a day more or less. I thought it was because of a 1.1.2 bug, but after a sort research thorough the forums I have found this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-2-0-alpha-536/stress-test-your-tvserver-88947/?highlight=2400i and also this https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bugtracker-feed-462/0003133-terratec-cinergy-2400i-dual-dvb-t-crashing-tvservice-88926/?highlight=2400i so I realize that the issue is drivers related. Once tried the drivers combination recommended and DVB-T epg based disabled, the system becomes pretty stable (I usually reboot it once a week so I think the tune issue has no time to appear!!!).

I am currently looking for a dual tuner DVB-T alternative, and I am wondering how your card performs, as it seem to be a new version of my card with new drivers:

- Do you have the DVB-T epg activated? Is it stable or you suffer tvserver locks?
- Did you tried the stress tool? I think it has been included in the latest tvserver releases

Thanks in advance
