Can't start Recording Service: Error 1067: Process terminated unexpectedly (2.4.3)

[buzzydotinfo]

Hi guys,

I've just re-scanned my HVR-2200 because NZ changed its DVB-T frequencies. I've removed all channels listed for each tuner, done a new "All country / All region" scan and added the channels back. I've then set them to the right Channel ID and mapping against the XMLTV file, and reloaded the EPG.

However, when I try to watch live TV, I get "cannot communicate with the recording service". If I try to start the service manually, I get "error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly". The Windows EventVwr shows the following app crash (most recent WER/appcrash info in the log.zip file, along with the nPVR logs folder)

Any advice appreciated!
Buzzy

The girlfriend watched some recorded TV today, and when i tried to restart the TV Recording Service this evening, it's started first go. No idea why, but it appears this problem was transient and is now resolved.
