I've had a very similar problem since upgrading GB-PVR to the latest release. I've always had issues with GB-PVR not recording things (end up with a 0kb mpg), but it was only occasionally. However, the latest release doesn't record almost everything I schedule.
I got a bit fed up with this at one point, and wrote a script which detects any new mpg files in my recordings folder, and monitors them. If they're still 0kb after 120 seconds it restarts the recording service. This always kicks the recording into life, but it's odd the service needs to be restarted each time, especially in the new release. As a test, I disabled the script and let a test recording run it's course, but it still failed.
I've attatched my recording service logs from some testing I did today.
