Afraid to ask ... change channel via Actisys200L?

[sub]

Can you please apply the attached patch, then reproduce the problem by making a recording, then zip and attach the GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log and GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log files?

This patch wont fix the problem, but it adds a few diagnostic messages to tell me what is going wrong.

EDIT: deleted patch - see following post

[sub]

I think I've worked out the cause of this problem. Please let me know if the attached patch resolves the issue.

I installed it, only had about 3 minutes with it, and it didn't seem much better, but I was being impatient.

I've scheduled some recordings today while I'm at work on various channels, I'll see what it looks like when I get home.

Have a close look at the front of the IR200L. It's dim, but you can actually see it transmitting. There are dim red LEDs inside it.

It appears that the patched version of NativeUtilities.dll works -
the Actisys 200L is changing channels now.

I did notice in GBPVR.exe.log that following error - is this anything
to worry about?
