Problems after installing new capture card

[mikeh49]

I replaced my PVR150 with an ATI 650 Pro PCI, which has both analog and digital tuners (but can't be used simultaneously) to add to the existing Avermedia Duet dual digital tuner. I didn't do anything with the pending recordings prior to changing out the PVR150 (there was one recording scheduled for the PVR150). The setup of the 650 was uneventful and both tuners worked when tested with live TV. Now, however, scheduled recordings don't happen; the HTPC does not even come out of hibernation. The recordings show as pending but they never happen. I tried some "immediate" recordings from the TV guide, and they get scheduled, but again don't happen.

I took a quick look at the database and the programs are scheduled, and seem to be assigned to the correct capture device. I deleted the ones past due using an SQL tool.

So, what did I miss in preparing for this changeout? Should I have canceled all pending recordings before changing any capture sources? Exported completed recordings and started over with all capture sources? I checked the Virtual Store for an extra copy of the database, and there isn't one.

Last winter, pBS posted about this card saying that an ini or something needed to be edited to let GBPVR know that the analog and digital tuners cannot be used simultaneously. I can't find the post, so maybe someone can repeat.

Update: Checked my test box where this card was previously installed and I see the card has the same name in bda.ini and direct.ini, I think this is what pBS was referring to. I'll make this change in the HTPC where the card is now. Not sure this will affect the database issue, however.

Thanks for any insight.

The card now has the same name in bda.ini and direct.ini - ATI Theater Pro 650 (QAM) - and the database problems seem to have gone away. Analog works with the new name. It appears the name issue perhaps locked up the whole database. Anyway, seems OK now.
