Every now and then, my recordings "freeze" up the show recorded. Itt just freezes on a frame and the computer is running full blast and then it just cuts out to the npvr menu. However, I can watch it on VLC without any problems.

A couple weeks ago, I ran it through videoredo and fixed the timeline so that I can watch it through npvr and that solved it. But it happens somewhat frequently. I don't want to use videoredo everytime and even if i were, it can take something like 10 minutes to process an hour show.

my primary tuner is hdhomerun. My secondary tuner is a hauppauge.

Have you tried using Martins WriteTime.exe to produce a new .Timing.Info file? Ypu'll have to change the setting first to have .Timing.Info in a separate file first ofcource (don't remember exactly how).

It'll most likely be a small reception glitch. Some decoders handle these better than others. Some show a bit of garbage on the screen, while some will only show complete frames (and sometimes lockup). Try different decoders to see if you can find one that handles it better.

Thanks Sub... I tried all the different video decoders (and audio decoders) but no luck :/ i agree that i think it's a broadcast issue... but not sure how to get around that. maybe writetime is a temporary fix

I have the HDHomeRun Dual and did experience lockups with some glitched recordings - but for me the issue was mostly the recordings from FOX or ABC locals would lock up when I attempted to skip. Solution was to go into the Hauppauge-provided config gui and change the DVR software profile from "NextPVR" to "ATSC/QAM Other" or something like that. The network streams are larger, but the timing errors on those channels no longer cause freezes for me.
