I have had this happen twice. I let the system go to sleep,with a recording scheduled. When it goes to sleep, the DCR looses its connection to the PC. NPVR wakes the PC, and the DCR reconnects. BUT, it does not seem that npvr communicates with the tuners again. The recordings try to start and from the logs can tell there is a problem, but then think they have found the tuners and start recording. The problem is the tuners really are not active (their lights are not on at the DCR.) At that point, I can go in, kill the recording (zero byte files), and then to manually tune a channel. As soon as I hit WATCH, npvr locks up and I have to kill it from task manager. Logs are attached

This appears to be a DCR bug since it WMC can't find the tuner either. If I cycle power on the DCR it will then work.
My only concerns are that NPVR thinks it is recording when it is not, and it fully crashes when you try to manually tune under the "dead tuner" condition.
I will contact Hauppauge about the tuner resume issue

The only way we can figure this beast out is with the entire community. I did test that and Media Center was also said it could not find a tuner. But I did this after I let NPVR awaken it. I will test again letting media center wake it up. I would love someone else who now has a DCR-2650 to test the wake from sleep for a recording to verify if it is my system or a global problem. I think other things might be happening as well. Last night at the end of my testing, I can no longer get NPVR to show me anything off the DCR while WMC can. I rebooted everything and it is still not working. Going into setup, the tuners are still there and seem OK, but I am just getting black screens on live tv now. It is a clear QAM channel so decoding should not be the issue (the utility says it is clear). The logs seem to think everything is fine. I will try again this evening and see if it is still an issue. I was a little blurry eyed last night by the time I finished so I might had just done something stupid. I will post logs if it repeats.
