I wanted some opinions on running this script to make my system more reliable. As I mentioned in these posts I have a (non GBPVR) issue with my setup somewhere that causes it to occasionally not record programs:

In an effort to make the system more reliable I am going to try having the computer run this script at every resume from S3:

Code:
@echo off
Date /t >>"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\logs\devicelog.log"
Time /t >>"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\logs\devicelog.log"
devcon status PCI\??#1
if errorlevel 1 goto RestartTuner1
goto TestTuner2

:RestartTuner1
echo Restarting Tuner 1 >>"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\logs\devicelog.log"
devcon restart PCI\??#1
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 -w 1000> nul
devcon status PCI\??#1
if errorlevel 1 goto Restart
goto TestTuner2

:TestTuner2
devcon status PCI\??#2
if errorlevel 1 goto RestartTuner2
echo Tuners Working >>"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\logs\devicelog.log"
goto End

:RestartTuner2
echo Restarting Tuner 2 >>"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\logs\devicelog.log"
devcon restart PCI\??#2
@ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 -w 1000> nul
devcon status PCI\??#2
if errorlevel 1 goto Restart
echo Tuners Working >>"C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\logs\devicelog.log"
goto End

:Restart
shutdown /r /c
goto End

:End
end

The script is not entirely original it is from a link in this post from Graham:

I modified it to suit my 2 tuners and will put in the actual HW IDs later.

I can't comment on your script but one thing that has helped me is a daily restart, done via a scheduled task as long as nothing is currently recording.
