I was wondering why the pointer doesn't change to a "button press hand" when hovering over buttons. Instead, it changes to an I-bar usually used for text input. As an example, go to Settings->Devices and hover over the up/down priority change arrows or on the garbage can on the Device Channels List page. It also stays an arrow when hovering on a program on the Guide page.
I tried a little experiment with V5 to see if I could isolate its selection of which of three cable card tuners, 0, 1, or 2, to use for viewing. I got confusing results.
On Settings->Devices, I moved the lowest priority tuner, tuner 2, to the highest priority and selected a channel to view from the Channels page. Tuner 0 was selected. Why? I then removed all channels from tuner 0 and tried again(This also emptied my Favorites channel group). Again, tuner 0 was selected. How? I deleted all the channels from it. I looked at the devices page and found that the channel I'd selected to view was now listed for tuner 0! Very spooky.
Obviously I don't understand how this works so drawing conclusions from my testing is very likely useless. Unless there is a problem somewhere.
Hi. I have been having a problem lately when recording shows especially from the UK channels BBC1 and ITV1, where the recording will skip for seconds or minutes, multiple times within a recording. It often happens when recording the news, and this morning it happened again, when recording Songs of Praise. The recording should have been 40 minutes long, but in fact it is only 19 minutes, with many skips within. Any ideas why this happens? I have broken the log file into two parts, because otherwise it exceeds the maximum size for forum uploads.
Having problem with some TV channel not displaying correctly in there full 16:9 aspect ratio here in Sydney Australia. They have black bars down each side so its more like 15:9 aspect.
Channels in question are 9Life, 9GO!, SpreeTV, 7Flix, 7food network and openshop on 7 network. All other channel from what I can tell seem to display correctly in the full screen 16:9 aspect with no black side bars. As do these channels on a regular TV. Just not when watching on PC using NextPVR software.
PC Setup:
TV tuner is Sony PlayTV,
Software is NextPVR (latest version)
OS is Windows 10 Pro.
I've also delete all channels and rescanned but that did not fix the problem. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas on what is causing the problem?
In V4 if a .ts file is transcoded say to an .mp4 then the .ts is deleted, the database entry stays and the recording can still be played.
Is it envisaged in that V5 will be able to do the same? At the moment, if the .ts file is deleted, then the entry disappears from the recordings list.

I have been using OTA for years. NextPVR in the past few, which I love.
Something has happened to my local reception in the past several months. Don't know if it is the trees growing taller or an issue with the broadcast stations. Anyway, it is an issue and I am considering switching back to FIOS.
I think am going to wait for the new Silicon Dust Prime 6 to come out before I make a move.
I understand I need a cable card for the device. FIOS charges $4.99. I did a search and am not finding any alternative sources where I can just purchase the card. Am I stuck with paying FIOS or can the card be purchased somewhere?
Should NPVR be able to record from all 6 channels (once the driver for the new tuner has been developed of course )?
)?
