Problem watching a show while its recording

[goveRtime]

I am having problems viewing a show when I record it. I'll select a show in TV Guide and schedule a recording of it. However, when I go to watch it while its recording by selecting Live TV I get the error "No Capture Source was available to enable you to watch the requested channel."

Also, if I have a show scheduled to record at say 2 pm and I'm watching Live TV at the time, GB-PVR will freeze when it turns 2 pm and all I'll see on the screen is a still image of the Live TV show I was watching. However, it does actually record the scheduled show if I stop GB-PVR in task manager and then open it up again, the show will be in the recordings menu.

The only luck I'm having with recordings is if I manual record a show i'm currently watching or if I schedule a recording and leave GB-PVR on the main menu screen.

Any help?

If you want to watch an in-progress recording, go to the recordings screen and select it from there (under pending, I think).

If you only have 1 tuner than it's supposed to work that way, it can only record or stream. Manual record records what you see on the screen while your watching it (not directly from the card), so if you change channels, it changes too.

If you want to do both, you have to buy another tuner.

Yes, thats normal. You can play an in progress recording from the "Recordings" screen though.

Also, if I have a show scheduled to record at say 2 pm and I'm watching Live TV at the time, GB-PVR will freeze when it turns 2 pm and all I'll see on the screen is a still image of the Live TV show I was watching. However, it does actually record the scheduled show if I stop GB-PVR in task manager and then open it up again, the show will be in the recordings menu.

What it is supposed to do, is kick you back to the main menu at about 15 seconds or so before 2pm. This seems to be working for me here.

I know these may not be how you'd like it to work. I may change it in the future.

I have a post for this under the Wishlists section here , you may want to add to that (you never know, the more 'votes' the higher the chance sub may add it )
