Under normal circumstances I would just ditch IE8, but another one of my apps is hard-wired to use it (no, I am not the one who hard-wired it). So I need for IE8 to be able to pull up NEWA again. FF29 on the same machine works like a dream. I don't use Chrome, so no idea on that, but it would be irrelevant for me anyhow.

In particular I am now getting a error 400 "/Application" message when I try and pull up the SearchResults.aspx page and then click on the Table View option. It basically looks like it is timing out. The default Tree View takes a while to come up, but is of no use to me...

I tried CCleaner and then uninstalling and reinstalling IE8 to no avail. Same error. Not only is this consistently happening now, but in fact I never had it happen in the past two years quite like this.

IE8 works as usual everywhere else I checked. It is just slow with NPVR/NEWA.

Any thoughts on settings or other things to check? The actual NPVR/NEWA machine seems to be fine on these pages using IE6 BTW (the crummy version that came with Windows XP).

My problems are with a laptop that I only use to schedule programs via NEWA (but it is not running NPVR or running as a client.)

Any outside resources change recently?

I run “EPG Collector” from UpdateEPG.bat to generate the EPG XML file then do some processing of the file before loading it into NextPVR. Ever since I did a clean install of Windows on my server several weeks ago the scheduled overnight EPG update has not run correctly so have had to do regular manual updates.

I had been looking at it as some sort of permissions problem. I eventually isolated the problem when running “Nextpvr.exe –updateepgonly” from Task Scheduler and noticed that the UpdateEPG.bat commands do not run if “Run with higher privileges” is selected.

EPG Collector wont now run with admin privileges such as when run from the NextPVR EPG scheduler. Earlier versions when installed for “All Users” stored the config files under \ProgramData so all users shared the config file. However a clean "All Users" install of the latest or later versions now use \Users so when run as admin EPG Collector cannot find any config files so refuses to run.

The work around is to run “Nextpvr.exe –updateepgonly” from Task Scheduler without higher privileges!

I just reloaded my OS (Win7 64-bit), and did a clean install of 3.4.8. It seemed to install correctly with no error messages, but I did not get that command prompt window with the "service installed correctly" message, and in fact the NPVR recording service did not install at all. Then I uninstalled 3.4.8 and installed 3.3.8, which installed properly. Thereafter, I was able to install 3.4.8 over the top of it, and all is working correctly now.

So there seems to be something missing in the latest 3.4.8 installer.

I'm having trouble getting NPVR to install/run on my Windows 7 x64 machine.

It installs fine (no errors) whether as an Administrator or just double clicking the installer file. I can then also open NPVR and enter the setup and add channels and tv guide listings to them, but when I try and open a live TV stream I get an error: "Unable to communicate with recording service"

NTray.exe opens after a reboot and I can restart the recording service but it then errors out with a window stating: Unable to start service.... Service NPVR Service was not found on computer"..."The specified service does not exist as an installed service"

I've tried a number of uninstalls (including removing all the files and registry values but nothing seems to work.

Any help?

Sub, you had mentioned 3.4.8 would have the ability to multi - record on the same HDHR Prime tuner for back to back recordings with padding on the front and back ends. I just noticed that a recording I had just now on the same channel used two separate tuners.

Recoding #1 ran from 8:58 AM - 10:02 AM (Supernatural S1E14: Nightmare) and the second from 9:58 AM - 11:00 AM (Supernatural S1E15: The Benders). Recording #1 used tuner #0 and the second started on tuner #1. I managed to catch a screen shot at about 10am just as both were recording simultaneously. I ran a EPG update about a hour or so earlier if that makes a difference.

[Schedules Direct 2016-08-12 edit: The 90-day trial offer is now only available to subscribers in Australia or New Zealand as we begin offering our service there. Thanks to everyone who assisted in getting the service functional outside of the United States and Canada. We still have the default 7-day trial period if you'd like to try Schedules Direct.]

Hi, I work for Schedules Direct.

Recently, we've been expanding our international reach and we now have data for countries outside of the United States and Canada. Our typical trial subscription offers 7 days of free service in the United States and Canada, but if you're in a country where we weren't before and we now have data for your area, we're offering a 3-month demo for the first 50 users that contact us to give us an opportunity to show you that we can provide a valuable service. The data outside North America may not be perfect, but we'll work with you to resolve any issues.

We've coordinated with sub to make it easier to link scanned data to our schedules, so if you're a DVB-C, S or T user it should be fairly easy to link "what you scanned" with "what we have" to simplify the mapping. If we don't already have a mapping for your lineup, then that's something that we can work on; you would send us the raw scan and we'd correlate it on the server. If it takes a few iterations then your trial period won't start until the lineup is accurate.

What does it cost once the trial is over?
We charge USD $25/year for the schedule data; our last price increase from USD $20 to $25 was in September 2011, so our subscription fees have been low and stable. This includes multiple daily updates, up to 25 days of schedule data (dependent on the provider having a schedule that far into the future), coverart, icons, and graphics, as well as a single point of contact for schedule, program or lineup issues. If you don't want to commit to a year after your demo is over, we also offer 2-month subscriptions for USD $6.

At this time, we have data for the following countries:

Region:North America
United States
Canada

Region:Europe
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Great Britain
Sweden

Region:Latin America
Argentina
Belize
Brazil
Chile
Columbia
Costa Rica
Ecuador
Guatemala
Guyana
Honduras
Mexico
Panama
Peru
Uruguay
Venezuela

Region:Caribbean
Anguila
Antigua/Barbuda
Aruba
Bahamas
Barbados
Bermuda
Bonaire, Saba, St. Eustatius
British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Curacao
Dominica
Dominican Republic
Grenada
Jamaica
Puerto Rico
Saint Martin
Saint Vincent / Grenadines
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
Trinidad and Tobago
Turks and Caicos

If you'd like to give us a try, please send me an email at rkulagow@gmail.com with your country and postal code. We'll let you know which providers we have data for in your postal code, and what the lineup and program data looks like before you even sign up for an account at the Schedules Direct website. If the sample data we send you looks good, then we'll send you a coupon code via email which you may apply to your account to begin the 90 day free trial.

Can someone explain what the difference in the NPVR tray icon means. I know when the "n" is red it's recording. I am assuming when the "n" is white it means it is on and idle. But what does it mean when the "n" is white and there are 3 dots in each corner?

Version 3.3.8 was solid but, after updating to 3.4.8, I am now having problems recording some SD channels. The HD channels seem to record O.K.

I completely replaced my npvr.db3 with an empty copy, rebooted, and rebuilt my device and channels configuration.

I have attached two sets of logs - one with a good record, and one with a bad record. These were created after the rebuild.

Also, I noticed that the ndigitalhost.log seems to be filling up with a lot of "No additional EPG events available" messages.

Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I will go back to 3.3.8.

Regards,

I am looking into Direct TV as Time Warner now requires a digital converter box for every TV. More remotes, yuck! I know that there is a Roku channel for Time Warner and Direct TV. I am curious about which ties in best with my NPVR HTPC. Also, Google fiber is growing quick here in the Kansas City area, but will be a while before it reaches my remote area. Direct TV is offering a deal 30 bucks cheaper than TWC. I have an HP usb ir for my htpc harmony remote, but no irblaster to communicate with other devices. I use Plex to stream to the Roku...

Ideas?

Now that NextPVR provides artwork support for Schedules Direct, I think that there should also be a better integration with Emby. Emby provides a very nice layout for these artworks and sections for ongoing and upcoming shows. There is a NPVR plugin in Emby, but it doesn't automatically get new artworks unless you manually click them in NPVR and refresh the Live TV guide.

First picture shows that you need to individually click shows in NPVR.
