Anyone had this problem? (resolved)
This started happening a couple of days ago, and hasn't sorted itself out. Most of the channels are fine on my dual FloppyDTV setup, but if I switch to a handful (Dave, UK Gold+1) then the screen goes blank. Nothing too unusual there, the channel's just off-air, or the signal's poor or something... the problem is, once I've switched to one of these channels, when I try switching back to a working channel, nothing is displayed for those either! I then have to reboot the system (or restart the FireDTV Common Interface service) to get video back on these channels.
It does this without fail on the affected channels, in VistaMC and also in the FireDTV Viewer. The strange thing is, if I load up the FireDTV CI program, whenever I switch to one of the dodgy channels, the CI program pops up, and seems to cycle through picking up the CAM, and saying the CAM is detached (CI program window title changes to CI Module Detached for a couple of seconds, then goes back to normal, and the boxkey/NAG details popup, then it goes back to CI Module Detached, and just loops at this). I thought this might be an indication that my CAM was dead, but I have dual tuners and I tried it with just one cam at a time, and the same thing happened with both of them.
I also tried reinstalling Vista on a seperate partition just in case my installation had been messed up, but got the same problem. Anyone else had this problem before?
