I know this has been mentioned before, but not for a while, so I thought I'd re-post this to see if anyone is still having this problem or knows how to cure it.
I connect to a UK Sky Digital box via Composite 2, and use a USB-UIRT channel changer. The problem is that intermittently the USB-UIRT ceases to respond.
I have tried to pin this down to a set of circumstances, but it seems to be almost completely random. It does seem MORE LIKELY to happen after watching pre-recorded shows and then going back to live TV, but this isn't always the case.
Prior to release 09.11 I could guarantee to correct the problem by re-starting the recording service (**** knows why); but since the 09.12 releases this hardly ever works, and I have to do a complete shutdown and re-boot to get the transmitter to respond again.
I've now missed several shows because the channel changer has stopped responding. I've even had to resort to setting my alarm clock for the middle of the night to remind me to re-boot the machine before an important program (just in case). Heaven forbid, I might have to resort to using the wifes VCR!!
Any comments (especially helpful ones) appreciated.
