Weird new MVP problem

[drbenjamin]

All

I recently had to move to IR blasting a STB for my recording, Comcast dropped analog broadcasting. It seemed to go well but I have (at least) 1 problem. To recap,

1) I deleted 2 of my 3 recording sources, the 2250 I had, leaving the PVr150
2) I hooked up the STB to the PVR150 and got Hip working and hipsend at the command line
3) I tested GB-PVR with the following results

Watching old recordings works as it always did

in LiveTV, everything works and I can change channels by pressing the chan up/down keys. However, if I press the green button (to bring up a channel menu) and select a channel, the screen goes black and I have to reboot the MVP. Similarly if I select a show from the main menu item TV guide and press "Watch" I get a black screen. In the latter 2 cases the STB channel is correctly changed, what is failing is the transmission to the MVP. I'm attaching logs and am grateful for any help/advice. Meanwhile I am testing a recording to see if that works as expected.
THanks!

You are running 1.3.7 which is two versions old now. Did you install all the patches?

Thanks Martin. Everythign has been working so well that I didn't even realize I had fallen behind. I did see a thread here indicating that 1.4.7 was causing troubles with MVPs, and it sounded like they were unlikely to be addressed. Do you recommend I install 1.4.7?

Thanks!

You missed 1.3.11 too. Looking through the logs I see some things that remind me of older problems where GPBVR was mixing up NMT and MVP rules. Version preference is tough sure there are 1.4.7 problems but there are problems in every version, they just aren't as fresh in your mind. 99.12 was probably the most stable version I every used, but it couldn't do nearly as much as today's version.

I went ahead and upgraded to 1.4.7 and it seems to have fixed everything. For anyone else w/ similar issues, I am running the mvpmc dongle, and I have no problems going in and out of LiveTV. Thanks for the help, your efforts to keep MVPs and NMTs so well integrated with GB-PVR are enormously appreciated by those of us who keep our computers in the office!
