2 0kb digital recordings

[mian]

I recently reinstalled XP (Home, SP3) to a new drive. I imported my GBPVR settings (copying gbpvr.db3 and config.xml over after installing GBPVR 1.3.11 and the vcredist_x86.zip file), and things seemed to go pretty smoothly. I have the same drivers for both of my capture cards (see sig) that I did in the old installation and that worked flawlessly. However, I seem to have created a little snafu.

I've had a dozen or so digital (clear QAM) recordings go fine on the new installation, and then suddenly this wednesday and thursday night respectively I get Glee and Fringe recording 0kb files from my 2250's tuners. Both are on Fox, and Fox functions fine on both my 2250's tuners, so I don't know how to duplicate the problem. However I do have Glee scheduled to record again tonight.

I've attached log entries from the two nights. I believe they were the only shows recording from 8-9pm central on their respective nights. I omitted log portions checking recordings.

Since the log mentions multirecord, I just installed the survival guide's recommended patch, but I don't really know what multirecord does and since both shows were recording solo, it doesn't seem like that would be the problem.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Since the log mentions multirecord, I just installed the survival guide's recommended patch, but I don't really know what multirecord does and since both shows were recording solo, it doesn't seem like that would be the problem.

Its worth noting that patch isnt for the current 1.4.7 release.
