Hello,
I work with ProgDVB 5.15.6. When I open ProgDVB I can see a picture. After about 10 Minutes my ProgDVB lost the connection and I can`t see a picture. I have tried another version of ProgDVB but it`s already the same error.
Please help me.

The signal from the antenna is only between 5 and 30%. After I reboot my PC then is the signal good and I can watch TV with ProgDVB. But only about 10 minutes. Then I have the same problem

It looks like hardware problem. May be tuner too hot?

I don`t think so. The tuner isn`t to hot but to make sure I have maked a cooler into the pc.
After 10 minutes I have the same problem. When I make the tuner in another pc I haven`t the problem.

This means, your problem is indeed supposed to be hardware specific, somehow.
For example, if your tuner is getting to much heat from another PCI card, or it's own heat can't be transported away by the case internal air flow, like caused by drive data cables in the way.
Or perhaps you have a partly bad PCI slot, or power supply, or onboard voltage converters, ...
Even possible, you're having thermal RAM or bus timing trouble. Or some basic settings do differ from the other machine and installation, like timeshift buffer set into RAM, with a to big buffer, related to physical memory size, or some swap file trouble, or energy saving related.
However, this is most likely to be a complex issue, with several components and settings interfering with each other...

Not all computer hardware problems would always cause crashes, they could instead as well let a component and driver fail.
At least, there's a high chance, temperature was involved some way.

No other way to find out, than either watching some system parameters by software, or temporarily change components and slots. Or add an extra case blower, to improve the air flow.

Hello,
now I have make the option "only one CPU" and my progdvb doesn`t make an error. I think that`s my solution. Although thanks
