Hi All,
Iâve had some problems with the manual recording. When I set multiple manual records on multiple cards, it runs fine for a week or so, then starts failing. If I set a program to record from 1800 to 2000 with a 2 minute buffer each side, I end up with a 4 minute video, with only 2 minutes either side of the program I actually wanted to record! An 0900 to 0930 with 3 minutes buffer each side results in a 6 minute video. I gather itâs recording the predefined buffers, but missing the actual programmed time.
There seem to be some glitches with the manual recording too. If you create a manual record, and then edit it, the new information is there, but it adheres to the parameters set originally.
Iâm running with the version of GB-PVR that I grabbed a month or so ago. Iâm running 3 computers, each with:
Intel 3.0GHz P4 CPU
1024MB RAM
400GB Storage (3x 200GB RAID 5 Array on Highpoint card)
Windows Media Centre Edition
2x Hauppague PVR-150MCE
It was a total pain getting the PVR-150âs going, but I managed. I also had to set Bleb (UK) as the EPG and deselect all the channels, therefore needing to program each recording individually. The reason for this was that each card is recording a different State's TV, and potentially time zone on the same channel (localised news), so no EPG will do that job adequately. I saw the problems with editing the manually set recordings, and could work around that, but the problems with it chopping out the video that Iâve scheduled is fairly frustrating.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
