Had a shot at upgrading to Windows 8.1 again and MediaPortal still refused to work. However I managed to fix it by extracting the 1.5.0 Pre Release installer (this was already installed on Windows 8). And then running the two separate installers again from the deploy folder. Everything is now working as previously.

Upgraded to 8.1 and mediaportal 1.5.0 final (october release) worked fine for weeks. Then all of a sudden after some windows update i didn't start. Tried to reinstall without success. Any way to downgrade windows to 8.0 ?

To the best of my knowledge yes, though I may have some components that I didn't load in to windows 8.1. I only loaded the minimum it would let me load at install of 8.1 and have installed no extra features in to 8.1. AKA tried to keep it as unbloated as possible.

When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...

I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled. I did it this way so I didn't have to edit the channel names every time tested a new TV-server install. Anyway, it works. I don't know if this would get you past the BDA driver issue. I'll provide more...
