Hi, trying to upgrade to NPVR on my media PC but every time I try to do a scan of either freeview (dvb-t) or satalite the scan starts, appears to be working then NPVR locks up with the error message "Unexpected error tuning: NPVR System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." and has to be killed from task manager to get out.
The tuners are all working fine with GBPVR and I have managed to install NPVR on my main / test PC which all works fine. Can't see what I am doing differently, (sure I've just missed something obvious) can any one see a pointer in the logs?
After many years of Gbpvr, decided to try NPVR.
Now the situation is certainly better.
The software is lightwight, fast and well programmed.
There's only a major problem (in my configuration).
Channel managing.
List of problems:
1) Dvb-s scanning crashes; Dvb-t works.In my configuration has always crashed from gbpvr times.
2) Difficulty in adding/modifying transponders .ini files: where to put fec, rollup, modulation etc, like is done in kingofsat's inis?
3) Not very user-orientated channel managing (IMHO): it would be wonderful a very simple, system:after scanning, posibility to choose from the whole list of channels found and add them in different groups (favourites, sky, cyfra, and so on);
4) Don't know if it's already planned, but it would be wonderful to separate tv from radio channels.
Don't get me wrong: I know that we are in early stage of development, only want to improve a very well done piece of software.
Anyway, scan problem is the only thing that makes NPVR unusable.
Logs attached.
Thanks to anyone can help,

Hi
I like the new 3.4 and have tried to make it default wherever possible but the standard TV guide still pops up when F1 key or MCE Remote GUide button are pressed whilst a Recording is playing. Is it possible to get 3.4 to appear instead?
Message edited, I cant change the thread title or delete this, but I figured my the input source issue, who knew the composite would be tuner #1 and the tuner be #2 on the HVR-2250. Geeze!
-------------------
Not really NPVR related, but since I already created this thread, when I click on the BlastCfg.exe to set up my Motorola STB, I don't get any options except learning (which is normally "Advanced" but which now is grayed out).
The only options I have under vendor are "User Learning" (see attachment)
I tried to copy over my BlastCfg.xml and even the Blastcfg.exe from the windows Xp machine, but it does not work.
I've added some new channels to my DVB-S card in NPVR, and added them to XMLTV's list to download from UKRT.
Although the channels automatically got added (with listings) to the GBPVR TV guide, they are not even available to map in NPVR. I can still map the channels from the first time I configured NPVR to use XMLTV, but the extra channels aren't available in the drop down menu.
Tried deleting data.xml and making a new one, update EPG, restart recording service, reboot... etc.
I have a huge pile of Hauppauge 45 remotes, but due to a recent upgrade I can't get IR32 to work anymore.
Can anyone recommend a simple replacement remote system? Would I need something like a USB remote sensor and EventGhost, or is there a simpler way? Anywhere I can download an EventGhost (or similar) setup?
Ideally I'd like to keep using the Hauppauge 45, but am also open to change.
Just wondering can anyone help with this. I recently removed my old Nova-T 90002 to replace with a Nova-HD S2. I now have:
Nova-HD S2
Nova-DT 500
When I connect the IR sensor to the Nova-HD, nothing happens. When I connect to the Nova-DT, it seems to bypass Hauppauge's IR32 application and act as an MCE remote. It opens Windows Media Centre, and ignores all the NPVR mappings.
