It's just for recording, will never watch live. Just need it to record a few hours every night, but, need it to work with multirecord. Anyone have a cheapie USB tuner for ATSC that seems to work with nextpvr and multirecord? Looking for brand and model.

Hi,

I'm trying to use NextPVR on windows 10 as a replacement for my long time use of Media Center.

I can view live tv without issue, however when i schedule a recording, the tuner is activated but NextPVR just creates a blank .ts file. Not sure why this is happening. Any help appreciated!

So it seems like the microsoft legacy service is no longer being updated.

I signed up for a trial of schedules direct. I guess my other option is to try the paid version of mc2xml with the newer microsoft service.

I understand Microsoft switched from zap2it to rovi. Anyone have any input of quality of rovi guide data?

I'm assuming that zap2it/schedules direct is going to be much better quality than rovi and that schedules direct is probably the better way to go?

I've written SD about this but am wondering if anyone else is having problems with their Guide from SD. I have several channels with no info after 7:00 pm Monday, 8/3. All other channels have the information they should have. I'm using the latest version of NPVR on a Win7 i7 computer. I'm guessing this is an SD problem but thought I would check to make sure no one else was experiencing it.

My HDHomeRun software is able to detect a few more channels than NPVR.

These are the channels missing from NPVR:

CH23 - 3 23.1 W23BV-D
CH23 - 4 23.2 3ABN-PR
CH23 - 5 23.3 3ABN-DD
CH23 - 6 23.4 3ABN-ES

I'm not really interested in watching those missing channels, but I was curious as to why NPVR can't find them but HDHR can.
Is it because the signal's too weak? If the signal is too weak, is there any way to configure a threshold so that NPVR can pick up weaker channels if so desired?


Here are my log files:

Hello All, I am new to NextPVR. I've gotten it working (mostly). When I update channel listings, there are a few (not many) channels that don't show - although they do show in WMC

I know this sounds weird but it's true :-)

I am using NextPVR (latest release) with a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Plus. I've gotten everything working (EPG, video/audio, etc.) *except* that Fox News appears to "freeze" (i.e. no audio/video) even though it shows up in the Channel Guide. The weird thing is that Fox News plays fine in WMC - but not in NextPVR :eek:

Recently because of Windows Media Center not being available in Windows 10, I have decided to make the transition to NextPVR. I seem to have things set up correctly to the best of my knowledge, but I have been having two problems since the install:

1. On most channels I am unable to watch live television for more than one or two seconds without the audio and video freezing. I can change to another channel, but the same process will happen again.

2. On the rare occasions when live TV will cooperate and not freeze on me, I have no audio. This is my current condition.

Neither one of these problems affect recording, though. My shows seem to record just fine; I just can't play them back with any sound.

In addition to the logs, I have also included PNG screenshots of my LAV configurations and a copy of my NetworkRecorder.xml file. I wasn't sure just how in depth I should get...

I've unchecked all plugins, and then tried to start n-pvr then got this:

Just a warning for anyone with this card (and possibly other TBS DVB-S cards) that this card that worked perfectly in Win7 is broken in 10. Very mixed results when scanning (intermittently misses transponders) and very often does not get a channel lock even if you do fluke a scan.

When I get a moment, I will post some logs, but I'm guessing it's not NPVR's fault if it worked fine in Win7. I have a Prof Revolution 8000 card that seems to work fine in Windows 10.
