I have a batch file set up in my Scheduled Tasks that updates my EPG every day. I've had a lot of problems in the past with the download failing, so I set up the batch file to retry every 10 minutes until it successfully downloads. The problem is that some times yapi2xml.exe will give a run-time error, and the error box will stay up until someone presses "OK", which defeats the purpose of having an automated batch file.
It would be nice to track down the source of the error, but more importantly, does anyone know how I could suppress this error box so my batch file can keep running until it's successful?
Yesterday I had to flush my OS and reload everything. All went pretty except now I am having some flukey things happening with Directv.exe when changing channels. Some of these work just fine and others broadcast digits different from what I am keying in. Any thoughts?
This is the same equipment that was working fine before. I am running XP Pro on a 1.6mhz Core 2 with 3gb of ram. My params setting is "-port com3 -baud 9600 -box D10100 -set NEW #{channel}". When looking at the port is is set up for 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. Have both "padding" boxes checked.
To be clear, this was working fine prior to rebuilding the OS. I had to do that because something got screwed up so badly it would no longer boot.
Just tried something else to verify the problem. I key 501 and I get 501. 532 gives 437, 603 gives 603. Is is consistent.
I've just got round to updating to v1.3.7 and moving my Nova-S+ card over to my newer P4 machine. I've done a scan and now have to map the channels.
I can't get on with the drop down boxes in the tuning request table. They are not nice to work with. You can't see enough of the list at a time and the scrolling is too fast. I can't keep up with it. Coupled with the fact that the channel list name does not always agree with what should be on that freq/transponder, it's driving me mad :mad:. I don't even have any hair to pull out
Is there a slow but sure way of doing this by editing a text file somewhere maybe?? Suggestions please.

I'm thinking of asking for a simple, run of the mill NAS drive for Christmas to store all of our music, pictures and recordings.
1. What would you recommend (under $200 US)?
2. Will i be able to record straight to the NAS?
3. Is it easy and of good quality to stream videos remotely?
I have a PVR-150 and an HVR-1800 in one machine. Analog recordings on the 1800 are superb, but dark and blurry on the 150, as you can see below. I'm using the latest drivers from Hauppauge. I've tried using the hauppauge tweak tool, which can somewhat fix the darkness, but it never gets anywhere near the sharpness of the 1800. I've swapped the coax coming into the cards and it didn't make any difference. Is the 150 just that much more inferior or am I missing something?
Anyone tried this yet? Looks like it would do the trick for "archiving" those h.264 HD shows (and it supports LATM for us in NZ). And it has a CLI which should permit automatic transcoding of recordings?
But, when watching live TV, I get no picture and system hangs after about 5 seconds.
I really have no clue what is happeningand would really appreciate some help, logs are attached.
I have no strange plug-ins, rather trying to run a vanilla system.
OK - I reinstalled WinXP SP3 fresh, all patches, .NET, VC runtimes, AC3 filter, WinTV. Fresh install of GBPVR. Appled the CD not stopping playing patch (pvrx2.exe) and the not obeying the LiveTV predelay setting (nativeutilities.dll)
Added one QAM tuner. Did a scan, (amazingly, didn't hang up once) but out of all the channels I can pick up on my Samsung TV, I only got 4 channels to map (and one of them was JewelTV!)
I have about had it with this piece of shit tuner card. I am about to lay into Hauppauge for either my money back or another card - all I have is an expensive, PCI-E analog tuner card!
I am going to do a scan with WinTV to see if I get better luck. Will report back.
