I noticed that on some programs I'm only getting partial recordings. Here's the log file entries for one from last night:

Everything in the logs looks good to me. Problem is that the recording is only the first 18 minutes of the show instead of over 60. This has happened a few times now. Seems to be random so far.
This week NPVR failed to record 2 programmes and I discovered later that live tv was not working (received message that tuner was not active).
I then tried Media Center and received a similar message.
I checked the Programs and Features option in control panel , sorted by date and noted that Microsoft Silkverlight had either been installed or updated this week either as part of a MS update or by my wife when trying to access a website using IE
As I always use Firefox I can claim to be innocent !!.
Removing Silverlight and rebooting the machine appears to have resolved the problem.
My duplicate recordings are back. They dissappeared after loading 1.3.51 but then returned slowly.
They accumulate over time. Initially there will be only one recording. But over several days the system will start to schedule more and more simultaneous recordings of the same show.
I am wondering if they are triggered by occassionally having no data for some channels in the epg. Just speculating.
Note my duplicates are only occuring for NEWA recordings. I mainly use title search.
I have had several problems with config.exe over the last few days, mainly it would refuse to open, although PVRX2 was working fine. Then yesterday I found that the Recording directory had changed to "C:\Temp", which was the Live recordings directory, all recordings were being placed in separate directory and no matter what I do I can not change it back again.
I have even Un-installed GBPVR, deleted the program directory and the entries in the Virtual Store. On re-installing the recording directory was set to "D:\recordings" and checked in config.xml, but this is still ignored. When I tried to record every recording, from an analogue or a digital source, goes to "c:\Temp" in separate directories.
What next - Format the disk and reinstall the operating system!!!!
I've just managed to grenade my server by remotely running scanchannelsbda_uk on the console.
I just started it, it hung, couldn't be closed and now prevents the server from rebooting. It does this from time to time so I was wondering whether there was a less temperamental alternative way of checking signal quality and strength. Also should I stop the GBPVR service whenever I do this or will it sit there happily as long as nothing is due to be recorded?
I'd appreciate help in getting my HDHR dual tuners to function with GBPVR. They work fine with WIN7 MCE and I had no trouble getting a HVR950 to scan for channels but nothing I've tried gets them to scan sucessfully with GBPVR. I had no trouble with the EPG but I'm completely blocked in attempting to use GBVPR because of the inability to achieve scanning success.
I'm using Cox cable as a feed. All I'm trying to do is to get the open qam channels from 114-117. Everything else is covered by the HVR950.
I think I've attached the logs to this posting but I'm not totally sure.
I just purchased a ASRock Core100HT-BD to use as a client in my living room. I also have a Universal Digital R50 that I would like to use to control it. The Core100HT came with a MediaCenter remote and already has an IR blaster integrated into the box. My question is if anyone has some ideas on how to control GBPVR with either remote instead of MediaCenter. I tried the remote and it controls MediaCenter just fine. But I can't even find which program it has loaded in the background to do this. Any and all help would be appreaciated.
I've just started using GBPVR after a long absence and a couple of times I have discovered an empty EPG with no channels or programs using the web interface. Right clicking on the icon and selecting reload EPG fixes it until it happens again a few days later.
How do I troubleshoot this or is it easier in the long run to upgrade to the new version?
I've been using GB-PVR for a while now and switched to NPVR. I noticed that it doesn't seem to be possible for me to seek to a specific position while playing videos, that is to use the mouse to click on a spot within the playback progress bar to jump to that specific position. Forward and rewind by using the keyboard shortcuts are working correctly. Is this feature not implemented (yet) or am I having some issues?
When scanning for channels upon initial setup, NPVR is not finding any channels. I'm using a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-950 USB stick with an analog cable input. Under the 'Devices' tab it lists the WinTV device (actually it lists it as WinTV-HVR-980) and the type listed is ATSC. That indicates a digital signal, doesn't it? I assume that's the reason I'm not finding any channels. I'm able to use the WinTV7 utility with no problems. I can't find an option to change the type of signal, or adjust the setup of the input device. Any ideas?
