Tonight I tried adding a new channel, using the Composite input on my HDPVR - which I otherwise have set up to tune a bunch of channels using the Component input. Was hoping to be able to connect my VCR to it, in an ongoing effort to digitize all my VHS tapes so I can throw them out - so no EPG source or channel changer was set up for this channel.
Long story short - I wasn't able to "watch" what was coming in on that "channel" (via the composite input) and NPVR was acting oddly and I had to kill the program manually to get out of it. I restarted the recording service and removed the channel from the HDPVR device. Now I am experiencing intermittent issues with trying to use the other channels (from my cable box via component input) and am intermittently getting "Device was unable to start" errors even after cycling the power on the HDPVR.
Help? I just want to get back to where I was before attempting to use the composite inputs on my HDPVR.
