I am using NextPVR for a while now (Windows 8). But I decided to clean up the PC and removed stuff that I didn't need anymore (like other PVR programs).
Now NextPVR (and any other PVR for that matter of fact) doesn't recognize my tuner anymore. I re-installed the drivers a few times, and there are no errors in the device manager.
I re-installed DirectX and ran the filtercheck tool, which I attached.
I think I removed something crucial but not sure what!
Just upgraded and getting socket errors when using XBMC as a client. Get a few seconds of live TV and then tuner not available. Tried a system restore to get back to previous version but still showing 3.2.9 after the reboot for some reason. Captured this before the 'restore', but nothing else to go on at the moment as busy trying to reset everything before I'm shot by the family....

I have a question regarding NextPVR and its recording format. I currently have two NPRV boxes:
1. A virtual machine running Windows 7 and NPVR 3.1.1. (Machine #1)
2. A physical machine running Windows 2012 R2 and NPVR 3.2.9. This box has a Hauppauge HVR-2250 installed internally. (Machine #2)
Both boxes also have a SiliconDust HDHomeRun Dual configured as tuners.
Here is the strange thing -- both machines seem to have identical NPVR settings and when both record a channel (Fox HD), Machine #1 outputs MPEG2 and Machine #2 outputs MP4. I'm not sure why this is exactly and haven't found any differences in the configuration of the two. Any hints on where to look? Also, despite recording the same channel, Machine #1 seems to record the channel in 720P (1280 x 720) format but Machine #2 records in 480 (720 x 480). I'm sure they're both pointing at the same channel as well (Freq 91, SID: 3 according to the device channel setup and the HDHomeRun config). I'm just not sure what I might be doing wrong.
EDIT: Just tried another experiment -- on machine 2, I recorded a show off of another HD channel (PBS) and it correctly recorded in 720P resolution AND as MPEG2. Everything seems to indicate that it has the incorrect mapping for Fox HD, but everything looks identical to the machine which is working.
I'm a total noob at this, so please take it easy on me. If I'm understanding this correctly I can use my android set top box with xbmc using next pvr add on to watch my satellite provider on it. but my question is how and what do I need to set up the server end to make it work? a computer with windows- linux some kind of tuner card for the computer?
After years with no trouble my NMTs give me nothing but "request cannot be processed'. It started after I had to re-install the mvpmc directory. Cannot figure out what has gone wrong. Could one of you experts look at the attached log files, plus read out from NMT checker

Quote:- now has option to give a popup if you reach the end of recording playback prompting for deletion. ("This recording was watched to completion. Would you like to delete this recording?")
I like this new option, but would prefer to have "Cancel" as the default button, not "OK", to help avoid accidental deletion.
