I have been experiencing issues now for the past couple of months at least, and after extensive testing I'm pretty sure I have it nailed as to what it is.
My Tuners comprise of 1 Nova-T 500 (twin tuner card) and 1 Nova-T PCI. The 2 Nova-T 500 tuners are at the top of the tuner list with the PCI at the bottom.
The symptoms are as thus: Overlapping recordings are being truncated regardless of remaining disk space, tuner availiabilty or any other issue I can think of. The affected recordings are always on one of the 500's tuners, and always stop when the alternate tuner is either started or stopped. Checking the logs show that GBPVR has no idea that the recording has ceased and carries on as if nothing has happened, which as other posts have noted, suggest that GBPVR is nothing to do with the issue.
Other posts seem to have addressed this issue, but to no resolution:
I have the latest driver (4.3.27240) from the Hauppauge site, and am running GBPVR 1.4.7. I have tried using the Cyberlink & TS mux multiplexers. I have tried a clean GBPVR install. I have rearranged the tuners.
This issue for me has become endemic recently and has gone from a once in a while occasion, to pretty much every single overlapping recording. Whether this is due to more recent revisions of GBPVR being more succeptable, or due to aging effects on the card, or some other weirdness I have no idea.
My Questions therefore are the following:
1. I've checked exhaustively on the forums but has anyone got a fix for this issue that i've missed?
2. Does the Nova-TD 500 suffer the same issue? I'm at the point where I'm willing to throw hardware at the problem, but wasting £60 on a card if it has the same issue would be painful!
3. Is there another decent dual tuner DVB-T card around that would be worth a look? Dual Tuner is a necessity as I only have 2 PCI slots. I don't want a USB solution, USB is nothing but trouble for me on anything more complex than a mouse!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help!

(I have attached logs, just incase anyone wants to have a look. An example occurs at 19:58 where Doctor Who was trucated by X factor. The recording stopped at 19:58 when X-Factor started, not at 20:00 as indicated in the log . BTW this was not a bad example, just one to hand.)
I've not been able to get Webradio to work and don't know why. It shows up in the plugins but I'm not able to access it...it won't allow me to get into settings (it won't light up).
It doesn't appear that it adds anything to my config. I had tried to input the info manually but it didn't work so I removed it.
My config is attached.
Downloaded iPlayer plug-in, configured it (I thought). but all that happens when I select the plug-in on the PVRx2 menu is that PVRX2 hangs. Not easy to get out of the hang either - mouse frozen amd system usually needs a reboot
I guess some misconfiguration. Attached in a zip of the ilpayer log file plus the config logfile. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong
I am stuck! I have been using gbpvr and the popcorn hour for a while. I recently built a new server, which is running server 2003 thats a domain controller and have have used this setup before, but for some reason I am struggling this time around. I can get gbpvr to work directly on the server, but its hit and miss on the popcorn. I used the latest NMTintall.exe for setup and have attached my log file for any appreciated help.
I have set the 'held key delay' in HIP to 700ms, so when I hold a key down on the remote it repeats every 0.7sec.
I would like to set it to less, but if I do GBPVR doesn't keep up. This means after I have stopped holding the button, scrolling of options keeps going for a while longer.
I know GBPVR can respond faster, as it goes much faster using the keyboard.
Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? (I can't find one)
Thanks
My install has developed an interesting problem. About two days ago I noticed that I can no longer watch Live TV, but recordings still occur okay. It turns out, from my untrained look at the logs, that recordings are being made on my Nova-T stick fine, but Live TV is sourced from my HVR-900.
On removal of the HVR-900, and running the box with only the Nova-T stick, Live TV works just fine.
On reconnection of the HVR-900, config is able to scan for channels and display picture and sound just fine. Can even hop between channels on request. However, when I save the config, open PVRX2 and try to watch Live TV, it just quits back to the GBPVR main menu.
If I now go back into config, the HVR-900 is set as a "Hauppauge Nova-S" on "Astra 1C". No matter how often I change it to a HVR-900, it never accepts the setting. It always goes back to a Nova-S.
The box was working perfectly up until the middle of the week. I'm quite confused, as far as I can tell no updates have been applied to the system. The box did crash once and require a hard boot, so I suspect maybe a database is corrupt, but before spending hours reinstalling and reconfiguring I thought I'd ask here in case there is a simple fix??
Thanks

I've been wondering for some time now the answer to this question - in the config program the slick skin has a picture of a green plant, but that picture doesn't seem to be anywhere in GBPVR. The skin has a blue background.
Am I missing something?
:confused:

Hi there
I use a Terratec remote(the default one with the orange buttons)
If the computer comes up from "cold" everything is fine, but if it comes up from wake it dosn't respond, and i use the start_gbpvr utility so i should have focus.
I have tried to restart the remote-software, but it dosn't help....
