Happauge 1212

Depends on what exactly you're doing. Search for a "HDPVR" section. You'll see a "Mode720p" subsection, a "Mode1080i" subsection etc. Each subsection has a bitrate setting. I just set all of them to 9 million. What are you feeding to the 1212? HDMI? Component? Composite? You can probably tell what resolution you're getting by asking some other piece of software. VideoRedo should have some way to tell. Anyway, just fiddle with the bitrate until you're happy and it works for you.

The Live TV thing: I've never tried to do a recording and Live TV at the same time with a single tuner. You would think it would work. Do You get live TV while not recording? If not, that's the place to start. If so, maybe it just doesn't like to save the stream to a file while at the same time displaying it as live. But I'm pretty sure you can play a recording while it's in progress. So instead of hitting Live TV, just select the current recording from the "Recordings" menu and watch it. But like I say, if you don't get a picture when just doing Live TV, start there. And always post logs and tell us exactly what time to look for in the logs. Saves some hunting.

It doesn't surprise me that there is a glitch if you choose Live TV while the single tuner device has a recording in progress. Sub will need the logs showing the attempt to troubleshoot/explain. If you just want to check a recording in progress, go to Recordings and in either the Ready or What's New sections, you should see the program with the status Recording. Just select it, choose Watch, and you'll be playing the file as it records. You can pause, skip, etc up to the current time of the recording (not into the future, of course). I've always found NPVR to be better at recording and playback than Live TV although there are many satisfied users for Live TV. I use the TV for Live TV.

Seriously, thank you so much. To you and everyone in this forum. You have all been nothing but helpful. I am going to continue to use this software to see if it's for me or not.
