Hi,
As mentioned in another thread, SchedulesDirect has quit on me. So I tried to record a two-hour show using manual recording. I set the start-time for 8 pm and the end-time for 10 pm. The recording started correctly at 8, but stopped at precisely 8:30 pm.
Strangely, the "Date Modified" field in WinXP shows "10:00 pm" (as if that was when the file was closed), but the file-length is one quarter of what it should be, MediaInfo says that it is only 29:57 long, and it does end after 30 minutes when I play it.
Because SchedulesDirect is broken, the guide shows "(no show details)" every half-hour on every channel. In other words, every show is represented as being only one half-hour long in the guide. Could this be why the recording stopped after a half-hour? Or is there something else that could be wrong?
NextPVR is truly a great program, but this is not the first time it has had my wife singing the praises of Tivo. And it's typically been a problem with SchedulesDirect.
