Recording but 0kb file size? help please!

[nick_kay]

As usual, no marked change in working config,but recent recordings fail and give a 0kb file size. All appears to be working ok, GBPVR status, file opened, but nothing else.

Seemed to be related more to repeat recordings but now seems to be any, if not all! No hard or fast rule.

Disk space ok.

Channels ok.

Any suggestions?

Config, using a Nova T USB2

Have you got a decent Freeview aerial & do you get a good signal?

The following lines in your gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log show a reception problem

Yeah, according to the logs, the device never managed to lock onto the signal.

[nick_kay]

Interesting.....never even thought of that!

Checking that now...I see a visit to the loft to check the coax routing. Had a man do some work there a couple of weeks ago...likely to be the cause!

Cheers,
Nick
